Each time I fill the vehicle with fuel it spits back up through the filler tube and all over the side of the vehicle. The pump then shuts off. I have notified two fuel stations of this at the time I filled the vehicle thinking it might be a pump problem, but I researched and many vehicles of this model have reported this to be a problem. There is a strong odor of fuel in and around the vehicle at the time of fill up and there after. Active recalls do not appear to cover my vehicle, but the problem is there and obviously needs to be repaired. My dealership has been contacted.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, gasoline spewed from the filler neck without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was advised to the contact that the fuel tank would possibly need to be replaced but a diagnosis was required. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline) in 2005. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 99,000. *tr...updated 04/25/13 *bf the consumer stated dealer advised the manufacturer that the vehivcle had two leaks that were causing the failure.

I received a letter recently from my local dodge dealer indicating my 2005 dodge durango would require repair for something causing the fuel to spill out during fill up. This has happened to me several times in the past as I was unaware that there was a recall for this. After receiving this letter a few weeks ago I inspected the quarter panel underneath the gas tank more closely noticing bubbling of the paint with chipping starting. Pressing on the paint it sounded corrosive like rust. As I began to chip some of the paint away I discovered rust and two holes that were completely through. Looking through the holes I could see rust behind the body. After reviewing several car and dodge forums I see that this has happened to several people in the same area of the drive quarter panel. I can only assume there is a correlation between the fuel problem and the rust that appears to have come inside out to the body of the car. There is no other rust on this car and has been well maintained. I contacted my local dealer who informed me that the recall on the inlet valve is still valid however rust would not be. It concerns me that chrysler doesn't feel responsible for the damage caused by their defective item. How could I have know that this was happening since I just received notification I'm concerned the rust damage is more great than I can actually see. Of course I'm additionally concerned with possible fire etc which is what the recall specifically indicates. I will make appointment with the dealership for repair of the fuel inlet valve.I would like chrysler to also pay for the damage that was caused by their defective part. I have 99,200 miles currently. I don't want my concerns to be dismissed as I feel I'm not the only one that this has happened to. I only received a letter recently for this problem so I feel all parts of the problem should be addressed.

I filled my 2005 dodge durango today with gas and the nozzle clicked and gas spewed out all over me and my nine year old son this is unsafe needs attention right away.
Vehicle stalls at low speeds and deceleration, idling hard at a stop and while in park, will stall when idling hard, gas spills out of inlet when filling up completely, sluggish in temperatures below 30 degrees and above 80 degrees, requires more than normal maintenance, service tech's can never diagnose the causes of stalling or idling issues, think it might concern the throttle body, transmission has torqued itself out before, stripped screws, rebuilt at 90000 miles. Just waiting for it to go again. This vehicle has been nothing but issues ever since I bought it used. Every fix just feels like a band aid to the manufacturing problems it has.
I purchased a used 2005 dodge durango and recently in december 2012 it started having problems when trying to put gas in it. The gas pump clicks off and the the gas starts to spew back out not only does it go on the car it actually even reaches you. There has been recalls for this year durango but I was told my VIN number was not covered. Since this problem I have been doing some research and have found out that over 3,000 people also have complained. I believe this is a very dangerous situation and they say it can cause a fire. I dont understand why the federal safety agency would not recognize and demand there be more recalls done and honored free of charge. A life is a life and cant believe anyone would take a chance with it.
After purchasing the vehicle used as is, I took the vehicle to completely fill the tank. As the tank became full the pump handle clicked and fuel began to overfill out of the spout. Fuel sprayed along the side of the durango and on to my clothes and shoes. I am not happy with the dangers that are possible with this spilling. After doing much research I have came to the conclusion that it is the check valve inside my gas tank. I cannot afford to replace the tank and feel it is the responsibility of dodge to pay for this. They have told me I am not covered under the recall but I feel this is unfair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when he attempted to stop refueling, fuel spilled out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the fuel cap was replaced but the failure recurred. The failure recurred two additional times after the initial repair. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 75,000.
Check engine lite came on and the code was large leak loose gas cap so I replaced it and it worked for two weeks and it happened again. Since then its been a problem. I see they had a recall on dodge durangos that were made in 3/1/04 to 11/16/04 for filler pipe and cap I purchased my dodge durango on 12/2004 it was made in aug or sept of 2004. They told me it was not on the recall list but I am having the same problems that the dodge recall was having. Thank you hope you can help.

Each time I fill the gas tank, if the nozzle is set to automatically shut off, the nozzle shuts off, however fuel overflows the filling tube. Often it runs down the side of the vehicle and/or splashes out. I contacted chrysler about a recall in place for these symptoms, however, they said my vehicle is not included.

Every time I fill the gas tank, the gasoline spit out at the end of filling.
This is getting ridiculous and it seems that no one is willing to take ownership for a faulty system that is obviously dangerous. What I found to be absurd is how multiple people have posted numerous complaints about the same issue, recalls have been made for the same issue and still no action. I have a 2005 dodge durango and each and every time I fill my tank the pump will stop but an excessive amount of gas will overflow. How many complaints must be entered before someone takes action or are manufacturers waiting for a catastrophic mishap to get their attention. Fumes could easily get under the vehicle, and find the catalytic converter and ignite. Something must be done, the time is now. Take responsibility!

When I fill my gas tank I get a very strong gas smell, the cab fill with gas fumes. You can only smell gas on the drivers side I brought it in 3 times to be looked at but not issues can be found. The odometer says "gas cap" but the dealer finds no code issues. There is clearly a issue with my durango but no one is willing to help me with it!! Dodge said that my durango is not included in the recall notice and they are more than willing to hook it up to there computer for $100.00 bucks! I have had this durango since 12/2212 and have been working with the private dealer that sold it to me he is not able to find anything wrong with it. I am only getting 7-10 miles per gallon that is crazy. Im not sure what to do.
My gas tank has overflowed twice since december 22nd when I was fueling the vehicle . While fueling the gas came pouring out where you fill it . I have read that there was a recall for this problem but I have not received any info on this nor do I know if it was ever addressed I have had this vehicle for about 3 years. And where I bought it is no longer in business.
Upon filling the gas tank, it has started to overflow and spray gasoline once it gets full.
While fueling vehicle, the gas tank will overflow and spray fuel all over the outside of the vehicle, and on person if close. When pump kicks off, the fuel will overflow from filler neck.

I just purchased the 2005 dodge durango limited on december 11th, 2012, I filled up the gas tank all the way on the morning of friday, december 14th, 2012, the pump clicked off, and gas sprayed everywhere. Dodge will not help me, neither will any omaha dodge dealer. I have never owned a vehicle that sprayed gasoline everywhere when pumping gas, this is definitely a manufacture defect that should have been addressed at the plant. Whatever happened to quality control in america, please, please, please help!! This is a fire hazard waiting to happen!!
Recently purchased used vehicle. Every time you fill up the fuel tank, when the pump automatically shuts off fuel sprays past the nozzles vapor recovery boot and out of the fuel filler neck. This is vaporized/atomized gasoline, which leads to an extreme fire hazard. I notified dodge of this situation, but they responded only by saying that there are no open recalls or campaigns regarding my vehicle.

The reason for filing a vehicle safety complaint is as follows: every time I have tried to fill-up my gas tank on my 2005 dodge durango, the gas not only starts to shoot out of the tank. It shoots out all over me and the floor. The dealer (town and country jeep chrysler dodge) where the vehicle was originally purchased is insisting there is no such recall for this extremely serious and dangerous issue. On top of that, they have also suggesting that I bring my vehicle in for a diagnostic evaluation at their labor rate which is $ 110.00 per hour. Please note I am a smoker and not proud of. Even if I weren't, I can't understand why they refuse to see this as an incident or what's worse an accident waiting to happen now or in the future. I would think it would be less of a cost to them now, rather than taking such a risk in the future with someone's life or lives. Priorities?????? Meanwhile I'll continue to stock up paper towels on trip to the gas station. Way to go ( town and country).
