During filling gas on my 2005 dodge durango limited (5.7 l hemi), the gas has started running out or spraying out of the filling nozzle as the fuel tank becomes full. This has happened on more than 5 occasions. The manufacturer was contacted and claims my VIN number is not part of the recall for a faulty fuel tank check valve, but I continually have to monitor my gas gauge as I'm filling my vehicle each time to avoid gas spewing out and onto the ground. This is a safety and environmental hazard that must be addressed. This is a similar issue on this model with select VIN numbers, but for some reason, mine is not covered?

Fuel spills when filling up with gas. Fuel gushes outward onto myself and pavement. Occurred numerous times. Have resorted to not topping off tank.

Fuel overflow on fill up. Status update. 11/15/11
When filling fuel tank, a large amount of fuel sprays out right after the pump shuts off. Easily a quart of gas sprays everywhere. Even refueling slowly does not prevent this. Spilled gas presents a fire hazard.
Gas splashes out on myself and the car and the ground everytime I fill up with gasoline. It has been reported and verified that in jan of '09 there was a massive recall on 2005 durangos regarding this safety hazard. I took my vehicle in to a local chrysler dealer and they charged me $75.00 to tell me there was nothing wrong with my car and that they did not have any recall notices for my year of durango. I have the complaint number from the nhtsb announcing the massive recall of these particular vehicles. When I complained again, I was told the recall did not include my VIN number.this is unacceptable. A fire could start or worse yet , I could catch on fire with the amount of backsplash I receive everytime I fill the gas tank up fully. This is a serious defect on chrysler's part and it needs to be repaired immediately. At the high price of fuel I do not expect to be doused with a shower of gas, nor do other customers' parked near my car at the gas station.
Fuel overflow on fill up. Updated 07/28/11
2005 dodge durango - fuel spurts out of tank at end of filling nearly every time.
2005 dodge durango for the past two years everytime I fill it up with gas, about a gallon or so shoots back out of the tank because their is a faulty part. I have called dodge several times and they keep telling that my vehicle isn't in the recall; but if the part had been made in a different factory that had the defect issues then it would be eligible for a recall. I am sick and tired of wasting my money on the gas that keeps shooting out of it and washing my vehicle off every time I fill up. I have talked to other 2005 and 2006 durango owners and they are having the same problem. Any suggestions?

Fuel spit-back through the filler neck - issue is well documented with chrysler as a recall for my make and model, but they misled me into believing they would resolve the issue until after it was diagnosed. My VIN is not listed on the recall list and should be.
Every time I fill my vehicle up with gas it back washes out of the filler tube. When making contact with dodge chrysler I was told my vehicle's VIN # was not included in any of the past recalls. At this time dodge chrysler has offered a co-pay remedy since the vehicle is no longer under warranty. To resolve the issue I was told the vehicle needs a new gas tank and filler nozzle. Is there anyway to get them to expand the VIN # chart to include other vehicles that are having the same issue??
When filling up my gas tank to full the gas will spray back out of the filler tube, it sprays about 3 feet as if venting off pressure. I know there was a recall on durangos the year mine was made for this issue but mine was not included. I think I have one of the defective filler tubes.

1-2 possible concerns- #1- (5.7 v.8 engine issue) as many others have complained the vehicle stalls and quits on sudden stops, and when making turn. After the engine shuts off - it can be restarted - but no engine code is generated. The dealer does not know the specific cause, but cites numerous things that it can be - wanting me to spend $$ to investigate each one and replace parts. The service department is not aware of any issues with the durango and engine stall. The issue is unpredictable and nearly impossible to duplicate - even though it has happened a dozen or so times in the last 2 years. On several of this occasions I (and my family of 5) have been placed in life threatening situations and I have had issues with controlling the vehicle due to a loss of power steering and brake control. This issue may be related to the next complaint. It seems strange that this on many occasions happens right after a fill up. And - even though my VIN was recalled in 2005 and fixed - gas still sprays out the fuel filler and any gas station when you fill the vehicle up fully. To get around this - my vehicle cannot be filled all the way up. This issue is easy to duplicate - but my dealer states that the work done in 2005 should have fixed this and that any other issue are not a warranty/recall issues. Again - the dealer wants to charge me $$ to test and try to find an answer since according to them this problem has already been fixed.

Gas over flow from 2005 dodge durango.
