I have a 2005 dodge durango and after filling with fuel the gas will come pouring back out of the filler spout. I had my mechanic look at it and he cleaned the filter but filled it again today and the same thing happened. I had my VIN checked but is not included in dodges recall. The dodge dealer quoted just under $1,000 to fix the problem.

Dodge durango fuel tank inlet check valve - safety recall: I own a 2005my dodge durango that has had issues with fuel spilling out of the filler tube after filling at a gas station. This occurs every time the tank is filled, resulting in 1-2 seconds backflow out of the fuel tank and running down the side of the vehicle or onto my hands. My brother-in-law, who works at chrysler, owns a 2008 my durango with the same issue. I have information on chrysler safety recall h45 and e01 that seem to be directly related to this issue. When taken to the dealer for investigation, they did nothing and claimed there was no recall available for this issue and provided me with an estimate to replace the fuel tank (~$900). I would like my issue included under the terms of the other related safety recalls. Please contact me.
When filling the gas tank, gas will spray out of the tank. Sometimes the pump will automatically shut off, other times it requires manual assistance. According to www.motortrend.com, there have been two recalls for this problem - one in 2005 and the other in 2009. When calling dodge, they state that those recalls may have been "VIN specific" and they do not have any recalls in the system for my vehicle.
Gas has started overflowing/spraying out when filling up. Pump stops and seconds later it happens. The first time it happened it sprayed some fuel on one of my boys who was standing by me. Thankfully, it didn't get in his eye. I first thought it was the pump but since realized its the vehicle. This seems to be fairly common issue and I have seen the two recalls on this due to the tanks inlet check valves not shutting properly. The recalls cover vehicles made through nov. 04. My durango was made dec 04 so dodge won't touch it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel was spewed from the fuel tank abnormally. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer.

Fuel spills out when refueling. While refueling, the tank will fill, the gas pump handle will 'click' off, then a second later fuel sprays out onto the gas pump, vehicle, ground and anyone standing nearby. The problem may happen several fill-ups in a row, or may skip a fill-up, and do it again the next time. Fueling slowly, very slowly, does not stop the fuel spray spillage. This happens at any fuel station in at least 6 states now.
Fuel spits back when attempting to fill tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall intermittently while driving at various speeds. When the vehicle stalled, the interior lights and windshield wipers would fail if in use. However, the radio continued to operate as normal. In addition, when the contact attempted to refuel the vehicle, gasoline would spew back out and onto the ground. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. No repairs were performed. The current mileage was 63,628 and the failure mileage was 48,000.
When filling with fuel, the tank is not properly venting so when filling is complete it, 3 seconds later it forces fuels out of the filler neck and sprays fuel everywhere.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that whenever refueling the vehicle, fuel would spill back out on the ground. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly) but was advised by an authorized dealer that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 73,000.
When fueling, approx. 1 to 2 quarts of gas burps out of the fuel filler tube. This occurs regardless of how fast or slow the fuel is dispensed. Seems to not be venting properly. I see daimlerchrysler recall # e01 and h45 have been issued, however my manufacture dates do not fall within range. Can my VIN info be checked and/or are there any other options available to have this repaired by the dealer without cost?
Fuel spill over when refueling on multiple dates and multiple locations of refueling.
Chrysler recall h45 - fuel tank filler inlet check valve (gas spits back at you and doesn't stop flow from the pump when full). We researched the symptoms and found some information at the time. We approached a local mendon, ma dealer about the issue and were told "there is no recall and your car is out of warranty". Now we found a letter from chrysler acknowledging the issue and found our vehicle was manufactured during the recall time frame (9/04 vs. Recall dates for 2005 model through november 2004). Tank has had these issues for some time now, 3/2010 is a "best recollection" as to when we first noticed.
I had my 2005 durango into the local dealership due to fuel shooting out of my gas tank when I filled it up with gas. I was told after diagnostic tests that it was a faulty inlet check valve and that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. I was quoted $1200 to have the tank replaced. I don't believe that I should have to pay for the tank replacement. After much online research, I see that this has been an ongoing issue on dodge/chrysler vehicles for the past several years. It is my understanding that my '05 durango VIN didn't fall under the 2005 and 2009 recall, but that other vehicles were later added to the 2009 recall. This is my main source of transportation. I have two small children and feel this is safety hazard due to a manufacturing defect therefore, they should be the ones to fix it at no charge to me. Thank you in advance for your prompt and immediately attention to resolve this problem.
The car's fuel tank fails to shut-off, I.e. It doesn't appropriately respond to the shut-off mechanism. Gasoline overflows from the tank, sometimes in a spills out sometimes it flows out! It doesn't matter if I use the lowest setting on the gas pump or if I manually fill the tank, once full it overfills every single time I'm refueling and gas pours out of the fill spout, running down the body of the vehicle, on my hand on my clothes and on the ground! It's not just dangerous with simple static electricity, it's a fire waiting to happen!
Whenever I feel gas tank up it shoots out everywhere. Also something is wrong with the fuel system and every time we try to have it worked on it never gets fixed and I dealership cant find anything on the computer when they hook it up. When you try to start it almost every time you have to give it gas to get it to start.
I just purchased a 2005 dodge durango. When you fill the fuel tank it overflows fuel out the filler neck spilling down the side of the vehicle and on the ground.

When filling with gas fuel will come back out the filling spout and spill gas all over the car and ground, and sometimes the person filling it. Dodge has had recall on some of the 2005 for the same problem but ours does not fall into their range. This seems to be a big safety concern with fuel going on me, the car, and the ground.
When filling the vehicle, gas overflows. When vehicle was taken to dealer for repair because of the recall for this problem, consumer was told that the VIN number for that vehicle was not included in the recall and that they would only repair it at the consumer's expense.
When filling with gas, fuel will spill back out of the filling tube, some times when it gets full, other times it will do it all the time. Dodge has had recalls on some of these 2005 for similar issues, but for some reason ours does not fall into the range. Every time will fill fuel there is gas everywhere.

From time vehicle purchased it would overflow gas when trying to fill tank,recently ( approx. 93000 miles)a strong odor of gas is smelt when standing by drivers side door and also on floor in passenger area.it also appears that there may be a fuel leak coming from the top of the tank. Talked with dodge and they are saying this is not a recall issue and I will have to pay for repairs. Research I have done on the internet shows that hundreds if not thousands of durango owners are having the same problems and dodge says the recall does not apply to their vehicles, wrong serial numbers. Obviously the recall should be extended to all 2005 durangos with this problem.
My 2002 dodge durango shuts off while driving, this happens everytime I drive this vehicle, therefore will not take it on any highways or were there is alot of traffic, once it shuts off I have no steering or brakes and have been very close to being in accidents. This is going to kill someone and I hope and pray to god this is not what it is going to take for dodge to do a recall. It is just totally unbelievable that dodge would not look into this and risk a lawsuit from somebody being seriously being injured or even killed. I have had my vehicle to a dodge dealer, to several other mechanics and noone can tell me what the problem is. Please help!!!
