Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact noticed that the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling, which allows some fuel to escape from the filler neck. The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap); therefore, they would not assume partial financial responsibility for the repair. The vehicle was repaired according to the remedy referenced in the recall. The failure mileage was 52,000 and current mileage was 53,644.

Gas over flows all over me and ground when filling.

Filed Mar 25, 2009 · Fuel system · 40,000 miles · TX

Fuel tank overflows and does not shut gas pump off when the tank is full. Everytime we fill the gas tank up, gas spews out violently all over the ground and onto the person fueling the vehicle. Seems pretty dangerous to me. Gas tank recall is partially in effect for certain VIN numbers but not all.

My 2005 dodge durango is spilling fuel from the filler neck upon filling up the gas tank. I called my local dealership and was told that my durango is not involved with a recall for this issue using my VIN#. This is unacceptable and unfair. My durango has a manf date of 10/04. This is a safety issue that dodge needs to fix regardless if affected tank relief valve issue was resolved at a certain date. Dodge needs to expand the manf dates for these recalls affecting the tank relief valve issue. It is their responsibility to fix an issue such as this due to the safety, fire and environmental concerns that occur each and every time I fill up my gas tank.

Whenever I fill up the gas tank the gas will come spewing out after it fills up. The first time it happened it got all over my clothes, shoes and side of the car. Thought it was a fluke with the station, but it happens everywhere I go. Happens everytime I fill up. Took it to a dealer because I heard about a recall but was told mine was not covered under the recall and would cost nearly 800 dollars to fix. I don't think so. This kind of problem should not happen. Phoned "customer service" at dodge/chrysler and was also given the same story about it not being in the recall. This is unacceptable.

When filling up gas tank fuel backflows out , splashing on my face and clothes. This problem occurs every time you try to fill the tank full. I have not yet fixed the problem was told by the dealership that it was a inlet check valve/ fuel tank assembly. The cost of the repairs is around $1000 . I feel this should be covered by chrysler!!!!

Gas gushes out of the fill nozzle of my 2005 dodge durango ltd spraying the vehicle, ground, gas pump and myself with gasoline. I bought this vehicle used , jan. 3, 2009, and this has occurred everytime that I fill up with gas, no matter how slowly the delivery rate of the pump. I contacted dodge customer service and was told that since the recall was performed in december of 2004 and my vehicle is not covered by any subsequent incidents and were not interested in any environmental or safety issues that I was having.

This problem began in july 2008. Everytime I try to put fuel in my vehicle it ends up spewing back out of the tank all over me, the vehicle and the pavement. My dealer looked into it and said it was a valve problem but would require the replacement of the entire tank with a cost of at least $1000. I have seen other 2005 dodge durango's getting recalls but my VIN does not come up as getting this recall. This is unfair that I have the same problem as other 05 durangos but am not part of the recall. This is potentially an extremely dangerous situation and I can't get any assistance from dodge on this matter. Can you help?

My fuel tank overfills everytime I fill it up at the gas station. This is no matter what station or type of pump. I have been told that my particular vehicle is not part of the recall. However I have the exact same problem as the recall.

I have a 2005 dodge durango. I recently took to a certified chrysler dealership as I was having problems with the gas not shutting off when pumping. Fuel spills everywhere, all over the vehicle and on the ground next to the pumps. As this is a safety hazard, as well as fire safety, the dealer recommended I get the gas tank replaced. They report never having this problem with durangos. I went home and researched this problem and found a recall for 2005 dodge durangos and found a recall for the exact same problem I am having. The recall is for vehicles manufactured from 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. My vehicle was manufactured on 12/1/2004, one day after the cut off for the recall. I called the company and they offered no assistance. This is an extremely dangerous situation as a spark could ignite the fuel spilled on the vehicle and the ground, and they refused to include my vehicle in the recall.

I own a 2005 dodge durango. Fuel was overflowing on the driver's side of the vehicle. As he fills his tank with gas, fuel rushes to the top and spills onto the vehicle. The dealer stated that the failure was not covered under the warranty.

The gas filler pipe automatic shutoff has never worked properly on my 2005 dodge durango since it was new. When the fuel tank is full, the gas pump shuts off, but the fuel washes back out of the tank and onto the ground. The dealer claimed it was fixed in a recall prior to my purchase in 2005 according to their "computer records". Obviously, from my experience in filling the tank, the "recall fix" did not work--or, worse, the dealer did not do the fix as they claimed. Spilling gasoline is dangerous--dodge has a responsibility to make this repair work, even if it takes another recall.

Our 2005 dodge durango gas talk overflows when filling. After researching on the issue I discovered there is a recall on models made the month prior to ours. After contacting the local service center, I was told to call the dodge corp. Only to have them tell me that it was not covered and there was nothing they could help me with. This is an issue that on every fillup covers the side of the vehicle and the ground with up to quart, possible more of gasoline. I did attempt to call the company another time to correct this hoping to reach another individual that might help. I was allowed to talk with a floor supervisor who once again assured me that since my vehicle was not included in the recall there was nothing they could do.

At around 38000 miles we started having issues with the gas spilling out of the filler tube of our 2005 dodge durango when the take gets near full when refueling. At first we thought it was that particular pump, but we have had the same issue at several different gas stations. There is a recall for what seems to be the same issue, but according to the dodge web site, our 2005 durango is not part of the recall. The dealer wants around $700 to replace the entire fuel tank. This is an extreme hazard as gas spills all over the ground and me when refueling. This is a well known issue and dodge should be held accountable for this problem before someone is seriously injured. Please help!

My 2005 dodge durango spill gas whenever it near the end of filling creating a major fire hazard also now when ever I am coming to a stop of a slow down the vehicle stalls which kills the power steering and brakes. Totally unsafe and when you call chrysler they say there is no problem. I am not going to pay for repairs that are clearly recall items. The web is littered with the same complaints and no one cares.

When filling up at any gas station, the pump will not automatically shut off and gasoline shoots out of the filler neck. A significant amount shoots out under pressure. This occurs every time that I fill up for approximately the last ten fill ups. There are two recall campaigns regarding this exact issue, yet chrysler denies my claim on the basis that my VIN is not included in either campaign. I spoke to the federal safety agency office of defects investigation today, and they recommended contacting the state's attorney general and the federal trade commission. Presently there are over 40 other outstanding complaints with the federal safety agency regarding this exact issue. It appears that chrysler is shirking its responsibility to repair this very dangerous safety issue. By the way, it is chrysler alone that determines the applicable VIN numbers.

Fuel spillage regular occurrence. The tank says I am on nearly on empty, I go to the station and "fill up" the problem comes in when I get close to the end. Vent seems to prevent fuel tank to be filled and it spills all over side of vehicle. It sounds a rushing noise pump nozzle clicks and gas goes everywhere. I have contacted the dealership and they act like they have no idea this would happen. After reading complaints online I am not alone. Http://www.fixya.com/cars/t592484-fuel_overflow_recall_2005_durango#sameproblemcontinued I am told that it probably needs a new fuel tank by the dealer, I type in my VIN and it says it is not included in recall. I am thinking the same issue that causes the check valve not to close also causes it to close or stick closed as well. I am afraid that one day the fuel that splashes back will get in my eye or cause other issues like a fire. I first thought it may be a pump issue but it has happened to me at nearly every station I have went to. I am also curious how a 26 gallon tank can never take more than 20 gallons, I realize that there is a reserve but 6 gallons? Please help me and the others listed on the link I included. We can't all be crazy this is a widespread issue.
