Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, gasoline would spew back from the filler tube and onto the contact. The contact located a recall pertaining to the failure for the fuel system under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (gasoline:storage:tank assembly) but the contacts vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact stated the failure was a safety issue that could cause a fire and the manufacturer should be held responsible. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 76,700.
The 2005 dodge durango vehicle is showing symptoms listed in recall 09v003000 -- at the end of refueling, some fuel escapes from the vehicle through the filler neck, which, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire. This is a consistent issue, although the amount of escaped fuel varied from station to station. Dealer suggested my vehicle is not a part of the recall based on the VIN number, and therefore any repairs would be paid out of pocket.
When putting gasoline into my tank, gas will shoot out of the tank periodically throughout the process.. I estimate that approximately 4-5 cups of gas end up on the ground, on my feet, and on my clothes. It will continually spew out unless I barely depress the fill up arm at the pump. This results in not only gasoline over the ground and myself, but it will often take me about 30 minutes to fill my tank. I contacted chrysler/dodge customer care and was told that my vehicle was not included in a recall that was for the same problem and same year model.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated took twenty minutes to fill the fuel tank and the fuel continued to spill back out from the filler tube. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that they were not aware of the type of failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 80,000.
Every time I fill up with gas, fuel comes gushing out of my fuel tank. At first, I thought it was the gas station nozzle, but realized that after using several different stations, this was not the case. After completing some research online, I saw there was a safety recall issued for this same complaint. I then contacted chrysler and was informed that the VIN on my vehicle was not covered under the recall. I asked for my next steps, and was told to contact the dealership, which I did, and was told I could pay the $100 diagnostic fee to determine the cause. But, I was also informed that since my vehicle was not covered under the recall, I would have to pay "several" hundred dollars to get it fixed. The first time this happened, gas spewed all over my hands and feet. So, after cleaning myself up the best I could, I drove home smelling gas fumes. I have to listen very carefully and look at the gallons on the fuel pump to determine when I need to stop adding fuel. I then go turn the key to see how full the tank is. I then proceed again with the same steps until I think I have enough gas or at times, gas comes spewing out. I would hate to think of an injury that could occur to my eyes if gas got in them due to me listening so closely for the sound of a "full" tank. I have seen several complaints in which the VIN number wasn't covered, and I think this is ludicrous, if there is a safety issue, it needs to be resolved. Will it take the actions of my lawyer to get this resolved?
Tl*the contact owns 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when fuel was added to the vehicle the fuel tank would not shut off when the vehicle was full. The failure caused gasoline to spill out of the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they are aware of the failure and that there was a recall for the failure but his vehicle was not included. The failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 32,000.
2005 dodge durango spills fuel when finishing filling the tank. This is a common problem, but dodge will only include certain vins in the recall, even though the same year and model vehicle is affected with different vins. This is a serious issue that can result in a fire or explosion.
Fuel splashes up the filler when refueling - started in november 2010 and has occurred on last 4 fill-ups.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated whenever dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity, the fuel would abruptly spill out of the filler neck. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
At the completion of fueling my 2005 dodge durango, the fuel pump will shut off, then 1-2 seconds later approximately 1 cup of fuel will spit back out of the fuel tank. It has occurred 4 time over the past 2 months (each time I fill up). While researching the issue, I came across the federal safety agency action number rq08005, and contacted chrysler (case #20241304) who told me to bring the vehicle into delray motors to evaluate. They replaced the filler pipe, charged me $403.21, but the problem still exists. After returning the car to delray motors, they have made various accusation regard me not represent what the problem was, and now they are saying they will not honor the recall because it was completed in august of 2005 (which was never done). How do I get dodge/chrysler to honor this recall?
I own a 2005 dodge durango slt 5.7 liter v8. I have approximately 43,100 miles on my vehicle. As of right now, everytme I fill up my car, the pump will click off and then gas will start spraying out of the gas tank. It has recently happened three times in a row without fail. It appears it's several cups of gas that sprays out. I have to make sure I am clear of the gas tank pipe or I will be covered in gas. I contacted dodge with the issue and they informed me that my vehicle did not have any recalls. I did some research on my own and learned that there were two recalls for the same issue. I was advised to file a complaint to let someone know there are still more of these dangerous issues happening. Please help with this issue. It is very dangerous.
Fuel pours out of the fuel port during refueling. The fuel tank doesn't trigger the shut off of the fuel.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While adding gasoline to the fuel tank it would spill back onto him. There the federal safety agency recall #05v034000, fuel system, gasoline storage, tank assembly filler pipe and cap. The dealer was contacted and informed her that her VIN was not included in the recall; therefore she would have to pay for the repairs. The manufacturer confirmed that her VIN was not included in the recall and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 58,812.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact noticed that the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve would not close at the end of refueling the vehicle, similar to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v034000 ( fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). Both the dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure who advised the contact that his vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 38,000 and the failure mileage was approximately 31,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While adding fuel to the vehicle and after the automatic fuel tank shuts off the fuel leaked out of the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted who stated that his vehicle was not a part of the federal safety agency recall#05v034000, fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap. The failure mileage was 65,000.
I recently purchased a used 2005 durango. It spits fuel out the filler neck horribly when trying to fill it up. Even on slowest setting on the pump handle it launches fuel onto the truck, pump handle, and enough to "run" if ground is slanted. I contacted dodge who says basically its my baby. I have to buy a tank to fix it. But similar vehicles with the same issue are covered under a recall. When I questioned it to the dodge representative he insisted it was a different issue. How can this be possible for 2 vehicles to have the exact same thing happen, only to find some are covered and some are not. This is a very dangerous and extremely inconvenient situation, not to mention the embarrassment.
No events leading up to failure. At beginning of november 2010 began to fill gas tank, when tank full, gas nozzle clicked off and a couple of seconds later gasoline sprayed out all over my pants and all over the ground. Since that time, everytime tank is filled, the same thing has happened. My concern is if there is an ignition source with all the gas that leaks out, a fire could result, or if the pump happens to have a flange near end, it has sprayed out from sides, and if child happens to be walking by, it could spray a child in the eyes. I do have a video of one of the episodes of gas coming out from around pump nozzle after pump clicks off. I did call chrysler as it appears there is a similar recall, however they have told me that my automobile is not part of that recall. They had me take it to a dodge dealer to get it fixed and said they would compensate me for some of the cost to get it fixed, however wouldn't tell me what amount they would pay until after taking it in. Per service dept report "the fuel tank flapper is sticking". The fuel tank and filler neck assembly were fixed to remedy the issue. Old part is not available. Chrysler said that they would pay for all but $250.00 for which I was responsible for.
When refueling gas spills from the filler tube when the nozzle clicks off. This has occurred 5 or 6 times in a row since november 15, 2010. It has been a continuous problem since it began. This occurs at fill up. It happens at various gas stations, so it is not a gas pump fault. This is the same condition reported in campaign 05v034000 and 09v003000. My vehicle VIN is not included in the recall, but it has the same defect symptoms as described in the recall. Chrysler was contacted. Chrysler will not include it in the recall, but said they may help with the repair pending a dealers report.
The fuel tank spews gas at me when I fill it up, and sometimes only when I partially fill it gas comes out as well. Dodge has a recall issued on some 2005 dodge durango vins, but mine is not in the recall even though it has the problem. I need help getting it fixed as dodge currently does not feel it is their responsibility. It first occurred a couple of months ago and continues to be a problem.
I have a fuel spit back problem w/ my 2005 dodge durango that was manufactured 05/05. It appears to be the same issue that is listed as a recall on the same make and model year vehicle that was manufactured prior to mine. When filling the tank, gas will blow back out of the filler neck with substantial force. Gasoline is speed over the side of the vehicle and ground. The first time this happened I was covered in gasoline. I called chrysler to ask about the issue after reading the recall for the earlier model year vehicles. The representative that I spoke to advised that it was very possible that my vehicle, being built late in the model year, may have had the faulty valve installed during assembly of the vehicle. However, it would not be covered under the recall. This concerns me because several other vehicles may have this problem and the owner's like myself, cannot afford to pay for it. I feel this matter needs to be looked into further for vehicles manufactured after the specified dates in 09v003000. Other than skin discomfort, I was not injured. This incident occurs every time the vehicle if filled!
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated when dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity level, the fuel would spray out of the filler neck. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). The authorized dealer was notified and they informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Fuel (approximately 1/4-1/2 gallon each event) sprays out of fuel tank filler neck during refueling when tank reaches full point. Exact same problem as referenced in the federal safety agency campaign id 09v003000. However, dodge reports my VIN is not one of the affected models included in the recall. Initially thought it may have been a one-time fluke, but has since continued to eject fuel from the tank every time I refuel the tank upon reaching the full point during refuel. Had no indications of any problems prior to first event; received no malfunction lights. After first event, noticed loud venting sound coming from tank approximately 5-10 minutes later while driving down the road - initially thought I had air quickly escaping from the driver's side rear tire, but realized it was coming from the tank. Has not done this since. To date, I still have not received any malfunction lights or indications, other than the consistent fuel spill every time I fill up that will soon begin to eat into the paint if not remedied soon. I depend on this vehicle to make long-distance trips frequently, travelling through locations with no services, so not completely filling the fuel tank is not a safe or viable long-term option. Vehicle now has 90,000 miles.
I own a 2005 dodge durango and at about 68,000 miles it started spewing gas from the filler tube just after the pump clicks off. The first time this happened I thought it was just the gas pump but at every refueling since the initial incident the same thing happens. After doing some research on this issue I found that dodge had recalled several 2005 durango's but my VIN was not included in the recall. I feel dodge has underestimated the scope of the recall needed to correct this issue. Gas being spewed out of the filler tube is not only a danger to those refueling and surrounding the area where refueling is occurring but also harmful to the environment. I would estimate about 3 to 4 cups of gas spew out in each instance.
My complaint is the same as in the federal safety agency campaign id number : 05v034000 however dodge refuses to correct it. I have a 2005 dodge durango wherein the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling. This allows fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. Consequence: fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Dodge has told me that my VIN number does not qualify for a recall even though it is a 2005 dodge durango with the same safety issue. They say that the qualifying vehicles were built before 10/12/2004 and that mine was built after that date. I maintain that they either used the same bad part in my vehicle or did not properly fix the problem. I am faced with a $825 repair bill for a design/part flaw that they did not correct and therefore should be responsible for repairing at their expense. This faulty part was replaced on august 12, 2008 in response to my complaint 10219910 but has failed yet again. The recall on the service dicument was listed as e01-410‑567‑1836 from business center/mark wittholz. The dealer once again has refused to pay for the $825 replacement cost. Please consider ruling once again that this dangerous situation caused by an obviously flawed part should be repaired at chrysler's expense. The dealer was not able to tell me the make of the replacement tank installed on august 12, 2008 so I have indicated failed original equipment in order to be able to submit this complaint.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that for four years while adding gasoline to the fuel tank it spilled back out of the tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him that his VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
When filling the fuel tank the gas pump will stop pumping, within seconds nearly a gallon of gas will pour out of the tank. The gas not only covers the vehicle but has sprayed me nearly hitting my eyes. The gas poured all over the grounds of the gas station requiring me to report it to the clerk. This happens every time I decide to fill my tank. It has gotten to a point in which I fear to fill my tank. I researched to see if there were any recalls on the vehicle which I did find. After calling chrysler I was told my VIN number did not apply to this recall and they were not liable until more vehicles were reported.
Tl* the contact owns 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated when dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity level, fuel would spray out continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where they informed the contact that the fuel tank would need to be replaced due to defective inlet check valves. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly) yet the contacts VIN was not included in the recall campaign. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact notified the manufacturer to file a complaint and no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Gas spills when pumping gas started at 98322 miles. Took it to a dodge dealer and the dealer said it was not under the recall. My dodge durango does what the recall claims needs repair. Vehicle at 126000 and still spills gas all over the cement of the gas station. What a dangerous situation! I will never buy another dodge again!! Transmission went out and now I'm having another problem. The TCM has an error and the vehicle turns off and doesn't want to accelerate. Many people are having this same problem with the TCM.
My 2005 dodge durango began spitting gas back out after the pump has clicked off. Approximately, 1/2 gallon is wasted, it on lands on the car, ground and myself. This occurs each and every time the car is fueled. Dodge has a recall on the gasoline:storage:tank assembly recall for 2005 dodge durango's but my VIN is not included. I have called dodge and they have informed me that I must pay a diagnostic fee, deductible and possibly a percentage of the cost. However, other 2005 durango's with this same issue were corrected/repaired at dodge's expense.
