Every time we fill up the fuel tank the gasoline will splash back/spill out when the service pump 'clicks' off. Issue started to occur at approximately 70000 miles. Vehicle is built after existing recalls (campaign id numbers: 09v003000 & 05v034000) -- vehicle build date 3-4-05'.
When filling up our 2005 dodge durango with gas, gasoline spurts out the tank when it is full. There is a recall, but the dealer says our car is not covered. This is dangerous. How is our car not covered also? It has been happening for over a year, since the car had about 30,000 miles on it. From the recall, it is the "fuel tank filler inlet check valve".
I just bought a used 2005 dodge durango last week. Each time I've tried to put gas into it, it spits it right back up. In order to put $20 worth of gas in, I have to pump and let go about 20 times (about every dollar inteval) and even then, some gas squirts out or atleast gurgles around the opening when I pull the nozzle out. I read about the recall online and had a new gas tank put in today, free of charge of course. The problem is as soon as I left the dealership and tried to put gas in, the same thing happened - maybe even worse. The pump now cuts me off every 2-3 seconds. It takes forever!!!! I went back and was told the recall was just for the tank and it's "probably" a problem with the fuel filler tube???? He quoted me 264 + tax just for the parts of something that is "probably" the cause. Should the filler tube have been replaced as well? I can't believe that I am still experiencing this problem. Oh yeah, most people with this complaint say that the fuel spits back when their tank is full. Well it doesn't matter how much gas my durango has in it. Even if I have less than a quarter of a tank, the same thing happens. This is damaging the paint since the gas is constantly running down the side of the vehicle.

The federal safety agency recall # 09v003000 / 2005 dodge durango / my dodge durango has exhibited the same problems as vehicles covered under recall # 05v‑034. The problem is related to fuel spilling out of the filler neck after the pump has shut off. I discovered that chrysler had expanded the recall to include additional vehicles built between 10/13 and 11/30/2004. The recall states that process modifications were implemented on 11/24/04 to address the spit back problem and they believe that the process changes would have been incorporated in all vehicles built at the assembly plant as of 11/30/04. I checked my VIN number and the date the vehicle was manufactured (01/05), upon discovering it did not include vehicles built after 11/04, I contacted a local dealer and explained the problem I was encountering. Contacted chrysler directly, after explaining the issue with the first level representative I was transferred to the next level (ref # 18546515). After discussing the issue in depth she finally agreed to have my local dealer evaluate the problem and if it was determined to be an issue with the fuel tank/check valve that chrysler would assist in paying for the repairs. She stated that if that was the issue the cost could be close to $1000 for the repair and I would be responsible for approximately $400. I insisted that if it was the same issue as covered in previous recalls that chrysler should cover the total cost of the repair. The dealer's invoice clearly states the problem was found to be the fuel tank check valve was not closing back. The dealer also stated that the diagnosis and repairs were exactly the same as covered under the recalls. They replaced the fuel tank, check valve and o-ring. My portion of the repair was $326. I feel chrysler should reimburse me for my out of pocket the repair.
