When completed pumping gas into the vehicle and removing the gas pump nozzle, the gas comes shooting back out of the tank. Suv was taken back to place of purchase and a new gas tank was installed in approx. Beginning of october 2009.. The problem is now occurring again in june each time gas is pumped into the vehicle.. Looked up online recalls on vehicle. There is a recall on vehicle for this year make and model for fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe: and cap.. When I called the dealer phone # I was told the recall was VIN # specific and my vehicle was not included in that recall.

I have a 2005 dodge durango which I bought new. About six months ago, it started spilling fuel out of the filler tube everytime I fill it. The gas pump shuts off but a great deal of fuel sprays out all over everything. I took it to the dealer and the service advisor said although some 2005 durangos were covered under recall for this problem, mine wasn't. He suggested I fill the tank slower. Now I know why this dealer isn't a 5-star dealer. The dealer I purchased the durango was eliminated when dodge downsized.
Any time I fill my gas tank up on my 2005 dodge durango when the tank gets close to full the fuel doesn't stop and it spills all over the side of the truck ground and myself. I t has happened at multiple gas stations so I have eliminated the possibility that it is the pump. Gas station attendants get upset whenever you spill gasoline because of the cleanup procedure and I am also upset as it's gas I have paid for but can't use. The dealer tells me my vehicle falls outside of the recall h-45 and the cost to replace the tank is in excess of $650.00.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that the fuel spilled out whenever he attempted to fill the tank. He contacted the dealer and was informed that the vehicle was not included in recall 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly) and he would be responsible for repair costs. The contact stated that the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve was inadequate. The failure and current mileages were approximately 98,000.
My 2005 dodge durangos fuel tank spews fuel all over the place when I am finishing a fill up. This happens everytime that I fill my tank full. I see that a recall was issued for 2005 dodge durangos for this exact problem, but the recall doesn't include my VIN. If a recall was issued for this problem it should take care of every affected vehicle. It is not safe at all!
Each and everytime our vehicle is refueled gasoline sprays out of the filler neck ..we have found recalls of 2005 dodge durangos such as ours but according to dodge our SUV is not one of the ones covered for the recall. There answer to us is oh just take it to the dealer and pay for the repairs and send us the bills and maybe we will pay for it.. We feel that this vehicle should be included ion the recall as it does fall within the recalls of 2005 durangos.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge durango. The contact stated when filling the vehicle with gasoline and the pump would shut off, fuel would spew back out of the filler tank. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic which advised that the check valve had failed and allowing the fuel tank to overflow. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.
Every time I fill my gas tank gasoline sprays out just after the gas pump clicks off. There is a current recall for this issue for my type of vehicle , 2005 dodge durango, but it does not cover my vehicles VIN. The recall is daimlerchrysler e01. I contacted the daimlerchrylser recall center and was told that they can't fix my vehicle free of charge because it is not covered by the recall.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated after dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity level, the fuel sprayed excessively out of the nozzle onto the clothing. There was an estimation of a half gallon of fuel loss. The vehicle was able to resume operation normally. The authorized dealer was notified which stated there was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). The VIN was excluded from the recall defect. The vehicle had not been repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 74,700.
Fuel overfills when topping off the gas tank on my 2005 dodge durango. Since I bought it two years ago I have researched online and seen a recall but when I contacted chrysler they said mine doesn't fall within the VIN number recall. This occurs everytime I put gas then I have to clean up the mess.
The vehicle stalls out at low speeds. So when you are at a stop light or slow down to turn or are in a parking lot, it stalls. When this happens, you can't steer because that only works with the car running. This started right after the 3 year warranty was over and has continued through today. They also didn't fix the recall item and I have fuel spills every time I set the nozzle on automatic and it is supposed to shut off. It does not shut off because the gauge is defective. Now I have a spot under the fuel fill that was eaten away by gas and it is now rusty.
I have 2005 dodge durango that spills gasoline all over the outside of the vehicle when filling it up and the gas pump turns off. This happens everytime the tank is filled completely up. Contacted dodge but they said my vehicle identification number isn't part of the recall # 09v003000. Others are having this same issue when I searched the web for information. Here is just one website that folks are reporting the issue: http://www.fixya.com/cars/t592484-fuel_overflow_recall_2005_durango here is the info I found on the federal safety agency website: the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v034000 on certain sport utility vehicles, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Gas overflows on my 2005 dodge durango when filling up. Happens every time. Have gone to local dealership and contacted customer service online and both have said my VIN# doesn't fall under their previous recall.
Every time I fill up my gas tank using the auto fill at the gas station, whenever the nozzle shuts off gas shoots out. This happens every time I fill up. I went online and looked up this problem and have found many people have this problem and that a recall was even issued. Armed with this information I went to my local dealer. I was then informed that my vehicle is not covered under this recall. My vehicle was manufactured mar 05. I will also be calling chrysler and complaining to them. I feel this needs to be looked into since multiple years and even 05 cars on covered in the recall are suffering from this problem.
When filling gas tank, fuel pump shuts off when full, then gas is expelled from the tank. My car was manufactured in dec 04 and the recall covered cars manufactured through nov 04. Is there any recourse or appeal available to get this recall extended. Clearly dodge didn't solve the problem as soon as they think they did, judging by the hundreds of us with the same problem.
Fuel leakage out of the filler neck at the end of refueling. This happens fairly often when filling the gas tank of my 2005 dodge durango. Gas spills out of the filler neck onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. Note that recall campaigns 09v003000 and 05v034000 describe this issue exactly but chrysler says the recall does not apply to my vehicle. I brought my vehicle in to a dodge dealer and they diagnosed the issue as a faulty check valve.
Fuel spills out when filling fuel tank. Current recalls from chrysler are chrysler recall e01 and h45. The federal safety agency recall 09v003000. Vehicle has been inspected by local dealer, linder dodge, new london ct. Fuel tank problem determined to be same as recall. As of 04/19/10, chrysler wants me to pay $260 for replacement of fuel tank. 2005 dodge durango SUV. I know of someone else who has similar situation on an 2005 durango, manufactured 12/04. My durango was manufactured 03/05. The fuel spill problems has been occurring over past 5 months. Why should I have to pay for a chrysler defect, when others don't have to pay? I have had fuel spill on me.had to stop what I was doing, go home, and change clothes, along with deal with deal with odor of fuel inside of vehicle. I understand my build date is out of recall date of manufacture, that I have hard copies for. But it seems the recall needs to be expanded, because the defect is occurring in a larger number of vehicles.

Durango stalls while turning or stopping.
I just bought a used 2005 dodge durango and when I fuel the pump wont stop and gas comes out of the filler tube all over the ground. The dealer says that my VIN is not covered but I have found at least 500 other people online with the same issue with the fuel but not the correct VIN.
I own a 2005 dodge durango with 5.7 lt. Hemi.. Every time I put fuel in the vehicle gas sprays out onto the ground. I did some research on the problem and found that there was a recall for this problem.. I took the vehicle to a dodge dealer to have this issue addressed. The dealership ran the VIN and advised me that. The gas spillage issue can be resolved but it will not be covered by dodge because the VIN does not fall into the recall range.....I called dodge and advised them of the problem only to receive no help.
1. The car requires gas. 2. When filling, gas shoots out of fill pipe when full. (1-2 cups) 3. Problem same as described in action #rq08005 and recall campaign# 09v00300 but my VIN not included in recall.
2005 dodge durango, fuel spill out when filling tank, happens virtually everytime. It gets gas all over the side of the vehicle and anyone near the gas pump. There has been a recall on this, but my VIN is not part of the recall.
Gas tank filler neck. A vehicle recall was issued for leaking gas when fueling. Dealer checked and stated car was fine and not effected. Since I have filled vehicle (3) times and (2) of those time gas has come out of the filler neck with so much force it splashed all over me and surrounding equipment. Incident happened before inspection as well and dodge was told about it at time of service but they still stated no issue existed. The tank is defective, and appears to be getting worse. Posses a large threat of ignition when gas and gas vapor shoots on the person pumping gas. Inspection method is inadequate and not working. Issue is still present and dodge is not fixing the recall even though a issue exists.
Fuel filler check valve does not work. Gasoline will spray out of car when topping off.
I have a 2005 dodge durango VIN# [xxx] . It has 71,000 miles on it. When filling the gas tank, it blows the gas back out the filler neck every time I close the pump nozzle to stop filling the tank. Everytime I stop pumping gas it blows approximately a half gallon of gas all over me, the ground, gas pump, vehicle, and whatever else is around. This a very dangerous situation. It has the potential to catch fire and burn down the gas station, vehicle, and innocent by-standers etc. It also has the potential to get into the water through run off. I brought the vehicle to a dodge dealer to find out what was wrong with it. They told me that it was a faulty check valve in the filler neck and that the whole gas tank had to be changed. They also told me that there was a recall on some durangos for the same exact problem but, the recall did not cover my VIN#. I don't have the $650 to fix it. I am hopeful that the recall would be expanded to cover my vehicle and all the other I found on the internet. Those that are having this problem and are not cover under the recall are just as dangerous as the vehicles that are covered.

Letter forwarded for possible follow up regarding consumer case against chrysler motors. *tgw two recalls were issued and the consumers vehicle was not included in either. The consumers vehicle was built in july 2005, well after the problem was corrected in production. Recall numbers 09v003000 and 05v034000. The consumer contacted dodge, but was told his vehicle identification number fell out of defect range.
My 2005 dodge durango has a problem where about 3-6 cups of fuel comes spewing from the filler hole when the fuel tank is filled. This "spewing" occurs just after the fuel nozzle "clicks" off signifying that the tank is full. The fuel spills all over the ground and surrounding people. It happens every time I refill the truck. I found on the federal safety agency website that other durango's are being recalled for this problem under the federal safety agency recall 09v003000 and 05v034000. I called chrysler and they told me my particular vehicle was not recalled and therefore I was responsible for the repair. My dealer, orange park dodge, diagnosed the problem as the filler tube inlet check valve which is the same part recalled on other 2005 dodge durangos. I am currently waiting for the part to come in before it can be replaced. Since chrysler is changing the part for free on recalled vehicles, but my 2005 durango with the same problem is my responsibility. This is a safety hazard. I was also informed by the dealer that the tank would leak out in a roll over accident since the check valve is not closing as designed.
