I have a 2005 dodge durango that I recently started having problems with. Problem 1: when filling the fuel tank the pump does not automatically shut off and fuel comes shooting out the top of the tank. Problem 2: when driving at night the instrument panel flickers on and off. I checked the website and found that there were recalls issued for both of these issues that I've experienced so I took my car to the dealer. The dealer said my VIN is not covered under the recall and that I have to call chrysler. I contacted chrysler and was told that the dealer is unwilling to work for any discounts and that because my car is out of the warranty period they will not pay for any services. In both recall notices it states that these issues are both fire hazards and I don't feel that I should have to pay $1700 out of my own pocket to resolve them, as these are known issues with 2005 dodge durangos. Please help!
2005 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints

When filling up vehicle, gas backflows out of gas tank at the end of fueling. Has happened many times at different gas stations. There is a recall on truck model but my VIN not included in recall.
My 2005 dodge durango releases fuel back out of the fuel filler when ever I fill up I do not top off dodge has a recall for some of their durangos of this year and make but they say mine is not included this is very dangerous with the fumes and liquid coming out of my filler neck. When I contacted dodge they stated I should see my dealer about the problem .it seems the problem goes further then they are admitting and I want them to fix the problem
There was no lead up, the gas tank just started overflowing and it would not shut off the automatic shut off on the gas pump when fueling the tank. It happens everytime that we fill up using the automatic shut off feature on a gas pump. The result is several ounces (just a guess, but it is a lot) of gasoline running down the side of the truck, onto the ground and even splashing onto an unsuspecting truck owner. We took the truck into our dealer and they said that there was a recall for certain vins of this vehicle type, but ours is not part of the recall, even though it was manufactured in the same year as the recall vehicles. The estimate for a new fuel tank is around $800 and of course the warranty went void a few thousand miles prior to the malfunction we are experiencing. If dodge knows there are problems on some of the trucks in the same year that ours was manufactured and nothing was done to correct the defect, how can they not be liable for fixing this problem?? Dodge is not willing to fix and I believe this is a safety issue that they know about, but refuse to fix in regards to all of the trucks affected. It seems as if no change was made to the fuel tank design that they admit was wrong in vehicles of the same make, just a few months older. How is that ethical? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Gas overflow when tank is filled.
About a month ago my, after filling up our durango, it sprayed fuel all over my wife. It seems every time we fill up our truck, fuel sprays all over. I researched this issue on he internet and found out a recall was issued: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline storage tank assembly filler pipe and cap), but my durango VIN was not covered in this recall when I called my local dealer. It's a very dangerous problem.
Recently I have noticed that when I fill up my 2005 dodge durango with gas, that when it is full and the pump stops, gas comes gushing out of the tank. I have asked dodge if there is a recall because that is what I heard and they told me no. I did find the recall info on this web site and I want to know if my VIN is covered. I have two small children and I want this fixed before something serious happens. Please let me know what is going on...
Whenever I fill my vehicle with gasoline it sprays back out of the tank. This started to occur in november and happens every time I fill it. It was repaired at a dodge dealer by replacing the gas tank. They said there was a recall back in 2005 for this and again in 2009 but was told my car was included. *tr updated 03/03/09.
I have a 2005 dodge durango and have the problem with fuel splashing out when I fill the tank. There is a current recall on similar vehicles, yet the dodge.com website says my VIN is not included. This situation is very worrisome. I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Dodge durango 2005, recently has begun to blow gas out of the tank after filling. Every time I fill the tank a large amount of gasoline explodes from the tank and constitutes a nuisance and a serious hazard due to the gas spill.
The filler tube inlet check valve not fully close and allows fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. There is a recall on this but when I call they said my VIN number was not covered for this recall. The federal safety agency campaign number: 05v034000. This has been happening since the beginning of december everytime I fill my tank.
When filling up my 2005 dodge durango, the pump will automatically shut off when full and then gas squirts/shoots out of the fill tube. This has been happening since october 2008, I checked for recalls on the chrysler website and it stated that there are no recalls for my vehicle. Although I did find a recall for my vehicle under this recall vins ending 5f500001 to 5f535219, my VIN is 5f503046 which clearly falls in that range. After searching the internet and finding so many other complaints I felt as though I should file a complaint. I am going to call the dealership to see if they are willing to fix the problem under the recall.

While filling up the fuel tank (every time), fuel pours (shoots) out through the filler neck once the tank is filled. Fuel either rushes out and down the outside of the vehicle or it squirts out dangerously with a significant amount of force. Researching this problem, I have found an official recall from dodge for 2005 durangos, but calls to dodge and inquiries on their website indicate that my particular vehicle is not covered. This is a dangerous situation that could easily lead to fire, etc. As you can imagine, I am reluctant to fill up my vehicle while my children are in the car due to the increased risk of spilled gasoline on the car, sidewalk and sometimes all the way to the pump itself. I have read that you were able to help others with this ongoing problem and I am asking for your help in this matter and sincerely appreciate your consideration. This is my second submission as I have not heard back from you when I initially submitted this complaint.
Fuel spit back when filling gas tank. Just started within the week. It happened the last two times I filled my tank. I assume it has a bad roll over valve or fill limit vent valve. I called the dealer and he thought it was the roll over valve and would be approx. $250 to fix. 2005 dodge durango w/hemi - 48,539 miles.
Fuel spraying out of nozzle inlet when tank is full. Previous recall found for this problem. Possible fire hazard.

Please reference the federal safety agency action number : rq08005. This complaint is for a 2005 dodge durango , when filling gas tank, and at the time tank is full, the back flow valve of the filler nozzle seems to be stuck open and does not close. This causes fuel to back flow out of the tank and under the wheel well and onto the ground. Also it has been observed that gas sprays out a high pressure. I have been totally soaked by the fuel back flow and the fuel contact on my skin/clothing caused irritation . I have seen the problem 3 times and now have the SUV in the dealer shop for repair. This issue seems to be related to the federal safety agency recall no. 05v‑034, but the dealership insists that my vehicle is not included in this recall even though my vehicle was manufactured 10/2005 and obviously has the defect reported by the recall. Since the vehicle is now out of warranty, but only has 26k miles on it, the dealer told me it would be repaired via "goodwill" (but only after I threatened to take the dealership to small claims court over the issue...... Really, dealers need to know that this problem is still happening and should formally recall all year 2005 vehicles. I was pretty lucky not to get sprayed in the face with fuel. Is it necessary to wait for injuries before taking action? *tr updated 12/09/08.
While filling up the fuel tank (every time), fuel pours out through the filler neck once the tank is filled.

When filling the vehicle with gas, when the pump clicks off gas then overflows out of the tank and onto the ground. This is the same problem as covered in recall # 05v460000 but the VIN on the vehicle is not included. There is also an ongoing defect investigation with the federal safety agency action # rq08005.
Gas tank spurts gas at me when filling as tank is full just before the nozzle clicks off, gas spills down the side of car and onto the ground every time the vehicle is filled up. Has been happening for 1 year.
