I have a 2005 dodge durango VIN # [xxx] manufactured march 2005. Everytime I fill up with gas, at least a pint to a quart sprays out when the tank is full, the same problem as in recall #the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v034000. I have talked to dealers and chrysler corporate reps who bluntly tell me "nothing we can do..... Your's was manufactured after november 2004. This happens every time I fill up with gas, and has been doing it for several years. My family knows who to file suit against if or when I get burned up. Including the federal safety agency. Obviously dodge has more problems with more durangos than they want to admit to with the fuel splash problem.

Gasoline spewing from the gas tank of my 2005 dodge durango could potentially cause burns and/or skin reactions. This needs to be a recall on all vehicles that have had this problem, not just a select few according to the VIN.

2005 dodge durango fuel overflow/splash. About a year ago I noticed the fuel pump would not shut off when refueling which cause a great amount of fuel to splash back at the person filling the tank. I took my vehicle in for maintenance and was told by dodge that it was not under recall and it would cost me $600 plus to fix. I went to a different dealer recently and was told the same. This is a severe safety issue! Believe this is related to the federal safety agency action number : rq08005.
My vehicle started few months ago to squirt gas out of the tank once the pump clicked off at the gas station. I recently learned that there have been two recalls for this particular problem 05v34000 and 09v003000 for a 2005 dodge durango, which I own. I have contacted dodge and they have told me that my vehicle is not one of the ones affected. I asked the person how I would get my vehicle under the recall he then told me to go get a diagnostics check and accused me of causing the problem by putting a marble in the gas tank. This is a problem with the vehicle design and a safety concern because I continue to dump gas onto the ground.

I have a 2005 dodge durango limited. I have a safety issue on the vehicle when I'm fueling the vehicle up and the gas pump safety switch clicks and shuts off the pump when the tank is full, fuel spews back out of the tank. This fuel spray can fly 2 to 3 feet in any direction depending on the fuel nozzle used. I called about this safety issue to a local dodge dealership and they told me my durango is not included in the recall even though there is a recall for that exact problem and I would have to pay for a new fuel tank to get it fixed.

Upon filling the gas tank, the shut off valve does not close when tank is full thus spilling fuel down the side of vehicle onto the ground. Checked recall database and there is a recall (the federal safety agency action # rq08005) so I contacted the manufacture and was told that my vehicle was not built in the plants in question with the recall so they told me that they were not replacing my gas tank or filler neck, but once a week when I fuel the vehicle gasoline spills down the side onto the ground and I'm concerned that it will ignite.

Fuel sometimes sprays out from the neck of tank (where pump goes into car) when fueling is complete if tank is pumped until full. I bought the vehicle used from a dealership in september 2009 and have had the problem about 6-12 times in the past year (I have added about 8,000 miles to the car over this time). I contacted the dealer as well was chrysler, who both stated that the vehicle is not covered under the existing recall.

I am sending this in due to the fact that chrysler hasn't tried to make things right with me. We tried to talk to them last april about a issue with my gas tank and it not closing like it should and that it was on a recall and when this was presented to them they pretty much wanted to make us help pay for it which upset me when we have the clip from the paper about the recall. It is terrible when I go to the gas station and I have to watch my gas tank and am nervous about it spraying all over me which it has done to me. And I am sorry but that is not okay and how wasteful is that and that is dangerous for it to be on the ground like thatwhen I start my vehicle. And like my husband if there would ever be a spark or someone smoking that would not be good for my situation. I could use some help with this problem and I feel like this is not good customer at all on chryslers part. I heard chrysler has bad customer service but to me this is really bad. I know that alot of car factories are struggling but this is not how to do good business and I will not buy anymore vehicles from them if they treat there customers poorly and unfairly. This is a serious problem and I feel they do not care.
2005 dodge durango- gas overflow problem while fueling occurs everytime pumping. Started 2/10/10.
When I fill my 2005 dodge durango fuel tank, I get a splash back of fuel. This happens more than 90 percent of the time when I fill my tank. It does not occur when I refuel without filling the tank. I am aware of a recall(dated 2009-01-08) that covered this issue for 2005 dodge durango, but I was advised by my local dealer and by chrysler customer service that my VIN was not included. I am told repair will cost me in excess of $800. My problem matches exactly that of the recall notice and feel I should not be required to pay for this extremely important repair.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when gasoline was added to the fuel tank it would spill onto the ground. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The dodge manufacturer was contacted and they offered to file a claim since there was nothing else they could do to assist him. There were no related recalls or warranties. The failure and current mileages were 85,000.
2005 dodge durango: starting at about 80,000 miles, or about 6 months ago, whenever we topped off the fuel tank, gasoline would spurt back up out of the filler tube at the end of the fill when the pump kicked off. This is still happening every time we fill up the tank. Filling up our other vehicle at the same pump does not reproduce the problem. Filling up our durango at any pump reliably reproduces the problem.
