On 03-08-2011 while putting fuel into my 2005 dodge durango I was soaked in gas at the end of the fueling. My wife advised me this has happened before at different gas stations, some fuel escaping through the filler neck at the end of refueling and spraying persons fueling the vehicle, as well as spilling on the vehicle and the ground. I checked with the federal safety agency and found out that there are 2 recalls on 2005 dodge durango for this exact issue (the federal safety agency campaign id numbers 09v003000 and 05v034000). Per insructions on those recall summaries I've contacted chrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403 on 03-09-2011. I've advised them of the problem with my vehicle and the fact that there are two recalls on the same make, model, and year as my vehicle. Chrysler assigned me a case number 20513614 and a case manager identified as rosie with phone number 1‑800‑763‑8422, ext. 66049. This case manager said that while 2005 dodge durango have been recalled due to the fuel spilling at the end of refueling, my vehicle didn't have the right VIN number to be recalled. The case manager told me to set an appointment with a dodge dealer, steve white dodge in hickory, nc, to see what was causing the fuel spill. On 03/15/2001 my vehicle was checked at the dodge dealership. It was determined by this dodge dealer that the fuel does escape at the end of the fueling and fits the description on the federal safety agency recalls 09v003000 and 05v034000. However, I would have to pay myself for the repair since my VIN doesn't match. I've contacted the chrysler case manager. I've asked her specifically if the problem with my vehicle matches the ones that have been recalled. The case manager acknowledged that it was the same same problem, same make, model, and year, but not the right VIN. She offered to reimburse only $140 from my repair bill. Chrysler should reimburse the whole repair bill, since there are recalls on this vehicle.
I own a 2005 dodge durango. On several occasions fuel spilled from the gas tank opening during the end of my regular fill-ups. I immediately thought it was because of the pump but none of the other customers had that problem. This has happened about 5 times. I will be calling the manufacturer concerning this problem and pray for a resolution I will not have to pay for.
Gasoline splashback on 2005 dodge durango, this has happened several times regardless of how the gas is pumped by hand or automatically shut off.
While filling fuel, the pump stopped as normal than shortly after wards a geiser of fuel came spewing out of the durango's filler nozzle.
I own a 2005 dodge durango VIN [xxx]. When refueling the vehicle, fuel over flows onto the vehicle and ground at the end of the fueling process every time you fill the tank. My research has shown there was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the VIN was not included in the recall and that I would need to bring the vehicle to an authorized service station and pay for the diagnostic charge without reimbursement. In addition, they would not guarantee to pay for the repair, only the possibility of helping with payment. Felt this was unsatisfactory due to dodge already recalling some 2005 dodge durangos and the apparent continuation of this problem outside of the acceptable VIN number range. No further assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. I am unable to fill the fuel tank with gasoline and could only refuel with small amounts of gasoline at a time. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, gasoline would spew back out from the filler neck.

When re-fueling the gas tank on my 2005 dodge durango, once the tank is full and the gas pump shuts off, excess gas spills out of filler tube all down the side of my truck and the ground. Took my vehicle to the dealership and they confirmed that the fuel tank check valve is sticking and not releasing properly.
Gas tank inlet valve is not shutting off, resulting in gas overflow when filling up, a potential fire hazard.

Every time I fill up the fuel tank on my 2005 dodge durango, at least a gallon spills out of the filler neck when it has finished fueling. This could easily start a fire or explosion and could seriously injure people. Chrysler has refused to look at the vehicle stating that it is not covered in a previous recall for the exact same issue.
2005 dodge durango fuel spills at gas pump.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that whenever she added fuel to the vehicle the tank would overflow and fuel would splash out on the person filling the tank as well as the vehicle and ground. This situation causes a dangerous situation because of the gasoline spillage. The contact called the dealership and was told that the vehicle was not included in recalls for fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). The vehicle was not repaired when the complaint was filed. The contact filed a complaint with manufacturer but she was still awaiting a response. The current mileage was 100,000. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
My 2005 dodge durango spills gas every time we fill it up. It has been doing this for three years. Dodge has a recall for this, but my vehicle is not part of it. This is very dangerous. If I fix it myself, it will cost over $700.
I have a 2005 dodge durango and when the fuel tank is filled up, before the auto shut off engages on the fuel pump, the fuel tank spews fuel back out of the inlet on the vehicle. This occurs nearly every time the fuel tank is filled up where we rely on the auto shut off to signal when the tank is full. This causes fuel to spill onto the ground and down the side of my vehicle, and at times onto myself or my wife, which can be a safety hazard. No parts have been replaced as the dealer quoted several hundred dollars and stated although there is a recall for this exact issue, the recall is VIN specific and ours does not qualify.
I have two safety concerns about our 2005 dodge durango. First, during the end of fuel filling, as the vapor lock on the pump engages and shuts the valve to the pump off, gas immediately spews from the filler neck, as if the tank depressurized. It has happened to me three (3) times now. This is a major safety concern! The result could cause a fire resulting in serious injury or worse! The other issue that I have a major concern with is that the vehicle stalls during low speed turning. If at an intersection and attempting a turn, the vehicle may stall and cause an accident. This has happened to me more than ten (10) times in the eight months that we have owned the vehicle. This too is a major concern as it can also cause serious injury or worse to not only myself, wife, young children, and others that may become involved in an accident if it where to happen! I have reported the issues to dodge and their response to me is to have the vehicle diagnosed. I do plan on doing this however, while researching the issues online, I have found a many numbers of vehicles (same year, make, and model) with the exact same issues. This leads me to believe that this is not isolated and should be cause for safety concerns throughout the nation for the vehicles/owners.
While fueling the vehicle, gas leaks out onto the undercarriage without exiting out of the top of the fuel tank filler neck and well before the tank is full. It is as though something internal to the fuel neck is restricting the incoming fuel and forcing it out. The leaking only occurs during fueling. The fuel never comes out of the top of the filler neck, the only indicator of a problem to the person who is fueling the vehicle is a large pool of gas under the vehicle and the strong smell of gasoline.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when he filled the fuel tank, the fuel would spit back out. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the failure was caused by the fuel inlet link. The contact referenced recall 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly) but was informed that the vehicle was not included. The current and failure mileages were 34,500.
I own a 2005 dodge durango - every time I fill-up at the gas station, fuel spurts out when the pump finishes.
Every time I fill up the vehicle there is a tremendous amount of gas that splashes out before the pump turns off. It goes all over the vehicle and the ground.
Fuel spit back out of the fuel filler neck when filling up gas tank. This began occurring in december 2010 and occurs 100% of the time the tank is filled. Estimated .5 - 1 gallon of fuel is spilled each time. This issue is similar to existing the federal safety agency recall campaign 09v003000 / recall recall 09v‑003 /recall 05v‑034. I called my local dodge dealer and they stated my VIN # is not covered by the recalls stated above. This is a serious safety concern. My durango has a build date of march 2005 and the recalls above only covers durangos built through november 2004. I am asking the investigation be reopened to determine if the existing recalls need to be expanded to cover additional build dates/VIN numbers.
Fuel tank overflows every time I fill the tank. There is a recall for the 2005 dodge durango for this problem however my VIN # is not included in the recall. Chrysler states I must pay to have the vehicle diagnosed which is non refundable.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that every time he tried to put fuel in his vehicle, the fuel would spill out the filler neck. The dealer was contacted and they stated that the vehicle was not included in recall 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.
Purchase 2005 durango 3 weeks ago. Filled the gas tank 4 times and each time gas shoots out of the gas tank after fueling stops. Gas went on the vehicle, ground and person fueling. It doesn't matter how soon you stop fuelling. Contact chrysler regarding the issue and known similar recall for other VIN numbers. Was told it wasn't covered and I would need to take it to a dealership and pay for diagnostic fee and repair fee. Did state that it may be covered under warranty that we purchased, but would have to pay 200 deductible. I explained that we didn't want to pay for a dodge defect and was told that it wasn't a defect. I explained that many other vehicles - that weren't a part of the recall- were having this issue and that it should be looked into before someone catches on fire or catches a gas station on fire. I was ignored and told that if I wanted it fixed, I should take it to a dealership and be happy I have a warranty to pay for it.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when he added gasoline to the fuel tank that the fuel would spill out of the tank. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer since they would have to drop the tank. They also advised him that his VIN was not included in the recall the federal safety agency campaign id number (09v003000-fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000 and the current mileage was approximately 75,000.
When filling up the gas tank, the tank overflows and spews out gasoline prior to the gas pump shutting off. This occurs when manually down the trigger on the gas pump and waiting for the pump to shut off automatically. I did not lock the gas pump trigger into place and was not attempting to "top off" the gas tank. My understanding is that some 2005 durangos were recalled because of a similar issue. My vehicle shows no recalls but clearly has a safety issue relating to the gas tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact was refueling the vehicle when fuel began to spew back out from the filler tube. The failure began as an intermittent issue but soon progressed to the point where the failure occurred whenever the contact was refueling the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified and the contact was told that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 80,000.
When filling up the gas tank, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not function properly. It does not close and gas always spills out. I am afraid that gas spills out while driving. At times,with the keys in the ignition, the car will turn off by itself if I am moving slowly. I bought this truck in 2006. The first year, I brought the car in for stalling on its own. The dealership told me that there was nothing that they could do and the car did not have a problem. I brought the truck in about three times for the same problem and every time, nothing was resolved. After that I did not have the money or the time to continue bringing the truck in for a problem that the dealership was saying they could not find. Over the years, I have just dealt with this truck stalling on its own. About 1 year ago, I noticed that the car started spilling out gas if it was filled up. I did not know there was a recall until I researched the problem online. I found that there was a recall. I contact chrysler customer care, they looked up my VIN # and told me that they did not have any recalls listed on my particular truck. I explained to the representative that my car had a problem with the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve and that gas spilled out. I told them that I was afraid that gas was spilling from the tank while I was driving. The representative told me that there was nothing that they could do and told me to take the truck to the dealership. I am afraid that if I take the truck to the dealership I will be responsible for all of the expensive charges to fix this problem. I do not have the money for this since I am paying $700 a month for a truck that should never have been financed at that amount in the first place and is not worth the amount still owed. *ln the consumer stated she was involved in a head-on-collision on april 25, 2011 and the air bags did not deploy.
