I own a 2005 dodge durango which I bought new and now has 43500 miles. For the past month, everytime I fill up the gas tank at any station and pump, the pump shuts off correctly and then gas comes pouring out of the tank onto anyone standing close and runs down the car onto the ground. I would estimate about 1-2 cups of gasoline come back out of the tank. I see this as a very dangerous situation. I contacted the dealership which told me that they have had multiple owners with the same problem with this vehicle platform but there has not been any recall safety or otherwise. So I thought I should contact the federal safety agency to investigate this situation.
2005 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 20 of 26: complaints 551 to 580 of 751, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While filling up the fuel tank, the fuel would shoot back out of the tank instead of stopping when the tank is full. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that her vehicle was not included in recalls 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap) and 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The current mileage was 111,520.
When filling up the fuel tank in my 2005 dodge durango, gas would spill/splash out of the tank instead of stopping when full. We finally took it to our local dodge dealer and they said we needed a new gas tank as some "flow" related part within the gas tank was bad. The solution was to replace the entire gas tank. When the dealer attempted to find a part, they informed me it would take a month for the part to come in as there were over 100 on back-order, all related to the same issue. It seemed odd to me that a less-than-5-year-old car with only 40,000 miles on it had to have its gas tank replaced, but it seemed more odd that there were over 100 others at a minimum like me awaiting the same part. Seems like this is a defect in the way the original equipment was built and/or installed.
At the conclusion of filling my vehicle with gasoline following the gas pump nozzle automatic shut off, approximately 8 ounces of gasoline spews from the fill nozzle onto the ground. This began occurring 9 months ago. Prior to that time it never occurred. I have have driven the vehicle since it was new. This is not in intermittent occurrence. Once it began exhibiting this behavior, it does it consistently every time the tank is filled.
Ref my 2005 dodge durango . The fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve will not fully close at the end of refueling. This allows fuel to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
There is no particular event leading up to the following failure--it happened and then never stopped happening. Every time my 2005 dodge durango is refueled, the gasoline backwashes out of the filler tube. A significant amount of fuel gushes out of the filler tube requiring that I dodge the fountain of fuel. This is a serious safety issue. My research revealed that a recall had been placed on this model for the same symptoms, but dodge claims that my VIN isn't wasn't included in the recall. They suggested I take it to a local dealer for a diagnostic, which cost $70. The diagnosis is that the charcoal evap canister is filled with "liquid" caused by overfilling the tank and dodge refuses to cover the repair. I contend that the evap issue is caused by the very problem of the fuel backwash. My visit to dodgeforum.com revealed that the fuel overflow is a common problem. Given the existing recall, it's obvious this is a safety problem that dodge should be required to correct.
I have a 2005 dodge durango VIN#[xxx] built 09/04 that when I fill up the gas tank gasoline spits back before the pump shuts off. There is a chrysler recall (e01 and h45) and my vehicle was manufactured during the recall dates. Chrysler continues to deny that the vehicle is not part of the recall but has offered a "good will replacement" which costs me $100 out of my pocket. My chrysler case/reference # is [xxx] . The local dealer verified that the defect with the tank was the same as the recall. The federal safety agency action # is rq08005. There is a high potential of fire, property damage, and death or injury to who ever is near the vehicle while fueling. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When filling the gas tank on my 2005 dodge durango. The gas does not automatically shut off causing an overflow every time. This is the exact thing that is described in a recall for '05 durangos however mine does not have a qualifying VIN #. My vehicle has 44,000 miles on it. I contacted chrysler, due to not being covered under warranty or the recall they said it was my financial responsibility to get the problem diagnosed and repaired by the dealership. Chrysler stated only after that was done they would look into if further but could not assure me they would cover any of the repair bill. I have not had this done as I cannot afford the up front expense. For the meanwhile I do not fill my tank all the way.
When putting gas into the tank of my vehicle, it spits gas back out. At the same time, we are getting surges in the speed of the engine, seems to be more frequently when speeding up from low RPM. The internet is full of instances of this same problem, but my dealer says no recall pertaining to this matter. They are replacing the gas tank at no charge, but say that I must pay for a diagnosis and a replacement sensor for the surging. They claim that neither problem is a recall, nor covered in my expensive extended warranty. I am being charged close to $300, including rental car.
2005 dodge durango, every time I fuel up the tank to full fuel sprays back at me, this is a serious fire hazard when fueling. I contacted chrysler and they advised that my particular durango was not part of the recall. The vehicle has only 32,000 miles on it and is used to mainly transport my twins. I know that dodge had a recall on certain durangos however are not willing to take a look at mine and it is doing the same thing the recalled durangos are doing. I feel dodge has a much larger problem or defect with the gas tanks on all durangos in this year range. This has happened multiple times and continues to happen each time I attempt to fill up my tank. Can you please help?
Fuel spits out of the gasoline filler tube when refueling completed. Happens regardless of whether or not the tank is "topped off". Speed of refill has no effect. Fast or slow, the same thing happens. Happened the last three time I refueled. Dealer says my 2005 dodge durango is not covered in past recalls.
Every time I fill my 2005 dodge durango with gasoline the gas overfills as the pump shuts off. This happens every time I fill with gas at any gas station. I have spoken with dodge and they tell me that there is a recall for this problem in 2005 dodge durangos but my 2005 durango is not included in the recall. This has not caused any crash, injury or fire, but I feel that it is a significant safety risk and that it should be investigated further. I have looked at many online message boards and it seams that many other owners of dodge durangos have this same problem and have been told the same thing by dodge.
Gas shoots out of filler neck from gas tank after done filling up.this use to happen about every three fill ups but now its all the time.the other day it shot out and soaked a women across from me. I have complained to the dealer about this the last couple of years and have been told there is a recall out on the durango but not mine which is ridiculous.I called dodge with no satisfaction.this is extremely dangerous and should be fixed before someone gets seriously hurt.I talked with conner at chrysler-the complaint # is 19381977.I took the durango to spitzer in akron ohio and they ordered me a fuel tank but they said its on back order(go figure). I have an extended warrentywith a 50.00 dollar deductible but this should be recalled in my opinion since its got the same problem as the cars and trucks in its class.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. He stated that when filling the vehicle with gasoline, the gasoline would spew back out of the filler neck. He was able to locate a recall campaign for his year, make and model describing the same failure he was experiencing (the federal safety agency campaign id 09v003000: fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly) and contacted his dealer. The dealer advised him that his VIN was not listed under the recall campaign and that repairs would be at the owners expense. The dealer stated that the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current was 71,300.
Fuel spurts out of the gas tank filler opening when filling the gas tank. About 1-2 cups of gas comes back out after the filler nozzle shuts off automatically. It happens approximately 2 out of 3 times filling the tank. When the fuel comes out of the filler neck it has gotten onto me and my clothes and of course it ends up on the ground at the filling station. I took it to the dealer to investigate the problem, they confirmed there is excessive pressure when filling the tank. The solution they proposed is to replace the gas tank and filler. I have not had this repair completed yet.
When filling up my 2005 dodge durango with gas the fuel comes shooting out of the filler tube all over the ground and myself. I looked at recalls for chrysler and they have had a recall for this same issue on 2005 dodge durango's but after contacting them they said that my vehicle is not part of the recall. This is a huge safety concern having gasoline spill over myself, vehicle and everything around me. I talked to an authorized dealership (phil spady chrysler dodge in columbus, ne ) and they said I need to replace the whole gas tank and they said my vehicle was not part of the recall. My vehicle is doing exactly the same thing that they recalled other 2005 dodge durango's for.

When fueling car if allowed to fill it full fuel spills out back at you everytime.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While adding fuel to the gas tank he noticed that the gas would spill back out. He thought he was adding more fuel to the vehicle than it needed. Six months later, he noticed that the failure occurred more frequently. He took the vehicle to the dealer for routine maintenance and they stated that the gas tank neck could be defective. He notified the manufacturer and they advised him that his VIN was not included in recall 09v003000 fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly. The manufacturer also stated that he could take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed and they would pay for the repair, as long as he paid the deductible. The vehicle will be repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was 57,000 and the current mileage was 69,000.
When fueling my 2005 dodge durango just after fueling is complete and pump shuts off, fuel sprays back through filler neck. There is a current recall that is to repair this exact problem on other 2005 dodge durango, however, the dealer says my VIN is not included in this recall. After researching on the internet I found that several people are having this issue. There is even a case number listed on your site. Rq08005. I have contacted both the dealer and chrysler and they have offered to do nothing more than charge me to repair my vehicle.
Fuel overflows when fueling my 2005 dodge durango. It used to happen once in a while but now it happens everytime I fill. I know there is a recall but my dealer says there is nothing he can do since my VIN is not included.
My 2005 dodge durango has gas spill out when it is filled up. The only way to prevent is to not completely fill the tank. This happens at all gas stations. Why is dodge not honoring to fix this problem before there is a fire and somebody does get hurt?
My 2005 dodge durango has gas spill out when it is filled up. The only way to prevent is to not completely fill the tank. The dealer is going to diagnose it and if they suggest replacing the fuel tank then I will have to pay a $100 deductible since I have an extended warranty. Chrysler customer service stated my VIN was not in the recall and regardless of the fact that it is the same issue they recalled 18,000 2005 durango's for they said it should be done at my expense. This issue occurs at any gas station I go to any time I try to fill the tank. We have had it at the dealer in the past for this issue when it occurred intermittently and nothing was done at that time as it did not occur with the dealer.
I purchase my 2005 dodge durango sxt in early december of 2009. The vehicle only has 52,663 miles on it. I have been having issues when filling my durango with gas. When I fill it up it doesn't shut off causing gas to shoot out everywhere, over my car, ground and myself once getting it in my face. I thought at first that it may have been just a pump issue at the gas station, but it has happened to me at 3 other stations as well. I read on many different forums that there is a recall for this type of problem. I was wondering what information or steps I need to take as this is a huge safety concern. I appreciate any information you could have for me.
When filling tank with fuel, the pump will click off when "full". Then approximately 0.5 sec after pump kick off fuel will flow out from around pump nozzle and overflow hole in the pump handle boot. When it first occurred it was very little fuel. Now it will spill out approximately 2 cups of fuel.
2005 dodge durango slt/hemi. When filling the gas tank, the pump handle will stop, then the tank fills and about 1 or 2 cups of gasoline blows out of the tank through the filler neck onto me, the side of the vehicle and the ground. Your website shows a recall for this, however dodge and the dealerships say it is not for my vehicle. I have not had it repaired yet due to the cost. I have been covered in gasoline when this happens. This recall needs to be expanded to my vehicle as well. The gas tank recalls are exactly what is going on w/ my vehicle. I have been told by several mechanics that this is an issue. In addition to safety a fuel spill is not legal and must be cleaned.
My 2005 dodge durango mfg date 9/04 was not part of the e01 recall and has the same problem with fuel 'well back".
