I cant put more then 10 dollars in my tank because the nosle keeps clicking and gas pours out all over me and the ground. There was a recall for this, but it is no longer happening. I just bought this car used and now my mechanic cant even find a gas tank to replace it. My legs have felt like they where on fire and became red from the gas pouring out on me, my husband has had to hose me down outside in my backyard from having fuel all over my legs. This is very dangerous, nerve racking and a total safety hazard.

Fuel shoots out of filler tube while fueling the vehicle

Filed Jul 30, 2020 · Body, Fuel system · 100,000 miles · IL

The gasoline will overflow from the fuel filler pipe and cap and not shut off on its own. This happens when filling the vehicle stationary, with the car off at gas stations. It happens very consistently, regardless of the fill rate of the gas, the style of gasoline dispenser, or location of the gas station. The gasoline will continue to spill out from the fuel neck until someone manually intervenes and turns off the nozzle. There have been 2 recalls issued for this issue with 2005 dodge durango's (recall id# 40367, and 27198) however the recall is limited to certain vins, which does not include mine. To be clear, even though my VIN is not included in the recalls, I am experiencing the exact same issue as described in both recalls. The body on that side of the vehicle (directly under the filler cap) has been completely eaten away from the episodes of gasoline pouring out over it.

Stationary: when refueling, great amount of fuel leaks out with high pressure, soaked me in gasoline causing burns and skin irritation on half of my body, also damaged the fuel panel side of the vehicle. Chrysler refuses to recognize an existent recall on vehicles from the same year that evidently have same defects. My vehicle not listed on the recall but defect was found by 2 different dodge mechanics so was supposedly repaired. Unfortunately, in my first drive it almost killed me in a zone where vehicles go at 70 MPH. In the highway something suddenly snapped loudly, fuel splatter leaking out with pressure, smoke coming out, vehicle started to shake aggressively out of control, then vehicle shuts off while running, twice. The vehicle remain with an asphyxiating fuel odor, fire department and police were at scene, chrysler kept me hours in the phone constantly washing their hands from 2pm until 8pm, call after call and neither chrysler or the dodge dealership provided any solution nor help, we almost died today, this defect almost killed us.

When I get gas it doesn't matter if I have a little gas or half a tank my gas as I'm pumping always comes out and backfires at me ....it just starts spitting out at me for no reason... Even when I'm empty and I start pumping gas it happens after about 10 seconds of pumping gas it just decides to come back at me.. So I'm wasting gas all the time it happens about every fourth time I get gas....

Gas gushes out of the fill tube when the tank becomes full. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow the tank is filled. When full, the automatic nozzle does shut off but only after gas has spurted out and runs down the fender. I need to emphasize that this is an ongoing problem that happens over and over again. The most recent date is listed below.

Fuel tank inlet check valve fails causing gas to leak out at conclusion of a fueling when stationary. This has damaged the rear quarter panel over the years. This is the same condition as covered in chrysler recall no. H45, however, they only recalled 18,951 manufactured from oct-nov 2004. This durango (march 2005), as well as many others who have complained, is outside of those dates and yet have the same defect. H45 should be expanded to include all 2005 durango models.

Fuel spits back at end of refueling. Dealer mentioned a recall on the inlet check valve but that my VIN was not included in that recall. It should be. It is the exact same problem. It is a major safety issue when a gush of fuel splatters all over the attendant, my car and the ground every time I fill up.

When filling the tank up with fuel, rather than stopping automatically, the nozzle clicks and fuel burps out onto the vehicle and the ground. This happens when stationary at a gas station filling up with fuel. I believe this may be the common issue with the fuel tank filler inlet check valve or fuel tank filler. Each are common recalls found on the federal safety agency website under this specific vehicle.

When fueling with fuel at the end if not stooped regulatory to allow the fuel to empty into the tank the fuel will come out of the filling hole and keep going until you stop the fuel pump. Once you stop the fuel p[ump it will take about 3 sec to stop coming out but until then you will have about 1 quart to half a gallon of fuel all over the side of the durango, tire, and ground

'takata recall' there are several things that are going on with my 2005 dodge durango slt 4.7 liter v8, 4 wheel drive SUV that are alarming. Every single time I fuel the vehicle it shoots gasoline right back on out of the gas tank where you insert the fuel nozzle and covers me with gas! Plus I have replaced the throttle position sensor several times, along with the idle air control valve, and map sensor just to try and correct the stalling while either slowing down to come to a stop, or it also occurs quite frequently when the vehicle is at normal operational temperature and just idling. The RPM gauge inside the vehicle starts fluctuating irratically before stalling. You lose all power and control over the vehicle when it stalls! Another problem that's present is hard shifting, or the vehicle fails to shift until it almost pegs out the RPM gauge. It's like both idle and shift are affected creating a safety issue. The transmission has been serviced regularly, tuneups, etc. However despite staying on top of all vehicle maintenance requirements the vehicle still runs poorly and has been doing this since I have owned it at 78,000 miles. It's now got 113k on it and I honestly think the vehicle is a safety hazard and needs the manufacturing company to address all of these issues! This is an ongoing issue that no matter how many times I have the vehicle repaired and the parts replaced it continues to stall out and shift incorrectly there's 18 trouble codes that keep coming up including the air bag on the passenger side, which really doesn't seem to fit what's really going on. No trouble codes for the fuel tank shooting gas out of the inlet pipe that leads to gas tank. This stalling and loss of power happens at all speeds on the freeway, city driving, or literally parked or slowing down from any speed. Any kind of weather condition. Problem started 8/01/2014 to present day.
