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, the gas not only starts to shoot out of the tank itself, but also all over my truck, myself and all over the floor. The security dodge dealer where the vehicle was originally purchased is insisting there is no such recall for this serious and dangerous issue. On top of that, they are suggesting that I take it in for a diagnostic evaluation and pay $ 110.00 an hour labor fee. Please note I am a smoker though not proud of it. Even if I weren't I can't understand why they refuse to see this as a incident/accident waiting to happen now or in the future. I would think this would be less of a cost to them, rather taking a chance with a life or lives being lost. Priorities ?????? In the meantime I'll continue to have to carry lots of paper towels when getting gas. Started nov. 1st. 2012.

I just bought it from a private party and went to fill it up and once it was full it spewed gas all over me and the ground. I thought it was a fluke, but when I filled it up a second time, it did the same thing. I started my search on the internet, and found, there was a recall for 04, 05 , 06, and 07 durangos for this issue. I took it to the dealership, and was told my VIN was not included for my 05 durango. I proceeded to go online and talk to dodge directly and got a response that they were standing behind what the dealership said. I proceeded to email them back to get it escalated with no response. I just dont know why there would be recalls all around my vehicle, and my vehicle is doing exactly what the recall said it was doing. Hopefully it does not cause a fire hazard, or cause anything to the environment. All I need is to find out how to get my VIN number included in the recall or who to talk to, to get it corrected.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact was refueling the vehicle when fuel sprayed out of the fuel filler neck. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic advised that the air ventilation filter failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised that the air ventilation filter was not sold separately and that the entire fuel tank would have to be replaced. The vehicle was also included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly) and was repaired by the previous owner. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.

I am the owner of a 2005 dodge durango. We are having an issue were the fuel will not shut off at the pump. There is a recall for that year, but surprisingly enough our VIN # does not fall under the recall. We had the fuel tank replaced in january of 2008 under warranty for the same issue. Obviously there is an issue with the tanks and their manufacturing process. Concern is the tank was replaced with a defective tank that was manufactured during the recall time frame, but concerned is not being addressed because the VIN # does not fall with in a certain manufacturing date. I am greatly concerned due to the recall stating that the issue can cause fire. What will it take for dodge to recognize the issue.
Upon fueling gas tank until fill, gas tank spews gasoline out of filler tube. Took it in to inspection, and was rejected, due to slight emissions leak. Failed inspection. Took to diagnostics center and had smoke test. Resulted in a slight leak that can not be found. Advised to have total fuel tank and refill assembly replaced at $700 +. Called chrysler recall hotline, and VIN did not match for potential recall potential.
When filling up with gas, fuel shoots out of the tube and onto the side of the vehicle.

Upon fueling my car, there is always a kick back of fuel that ends up spilling on to the floor of the gas station. According to this site there are a couple recalls for my vehicle year and model that reference a recall about this. I called the chrysler corporation and they told me that my specific vehicle did not qualify.
I recently purchased a used dodge durango from a used car dealer. The first time the gas station attendant filled up the gas tank, it overflowed. Gasoline was all over the side of my car and onto the ground. The attendant was not touching the gas pump handle. The second time I had the car refueled at costco, it happened again. This time, it was even more of a spill and held up the refueling of other vehicles for quite some time while the attendant mopped up the spilt fuel on the side of my car and ground. I contacted my local dodge dealer and reported the problem to them. They checked my VIN # with recall notices regarding this type of problem. There was a recall id # 54823 which affected 26,000 vehicles, but apparently not my VIN #. I then contacted chrysler corporation. They also said that my VIN # did not have a recall notice on the fuel system. Recall id # 54823 states "the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fuel to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling." I have searched the internet and found this is a common defect with similar makes and models manufactured by chrysler corporation. I do not feel that I should incur an expense for a safety item that has previously been well documented. Please help me resolve this safety defect before someone is hurt.

While filling fuel tank, the gas pump stopped but fuel shot out of the filler tube spilling on the ground. This has happened on several occasions and does not matter how fast the fuel goes in.

I purchased a dodge durango in 2007. At the time the car had 24000 miles. Around 2009 the car when I filled the tank with gas and removed the pump handle from the durango the gas would overflow all over. So in 2009 I took the car to the dodge dealership in north florida ave. They said that there was no recalls for this car. At this point the car had 29,000 miles. Up to this date I still have this problem every time I fill the tank. I have taken this car to the dealership in 2010, 2011, and 2012 for the same problem and they still tell me there is no recall for this problem. So I decided to look online for this problem. There is a lot of 2005 durango with the same problem.
When filling up the vehicle with gasoline the filler tube does not close and gasoline comes up and out of the tube. I was informed that numerous complaints have been issued, as well as, two recalls, but since my vehicle was manufactured in 3-2005 it is not covered. As this has the potential for injury and fire this recall should be expanded as obviously it affects more vehicles then in the past recall notices.
When I fill my gas tank to full or close to full, the gas leaks or sprays back around the fuel door.
When filling up with gas, fuel shoots out of the tube and onto the side of the vehicle.
When filling fuel tank, gas spews out of filler tube posing fire risk, damaging clothing, and adding voc's to atmosphere. Many complaints of same thing and even recalls on various model years. Makes very little sense why dodge or ntsb doesn't connect the dots and correct this problem in a comprehensive fashion.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, fuel would overflow abnormally with pressure, causing the contact to become saturated with gasoline. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The current mileage was 77,948. The failure mileage was 77,000.
When I am filling up my gas tank at a gas station, the pump will kick off when full and a few seconds after you can hear fuel rushing up the tube and then sprays out all over the side of the car and on the ground. The side of my vehicle is starting to rust because of this and I have been held responsible to fuel cleanup at a few gas stations. Its my understanding there was a recall issued on some vehicles but since I am not the original owner, I am not sure if this was taken care of.
Gasoline was ejected from my fill tube at the gas station. After filling the tank the gas nozzle clicked to stop and fuel shot out of the filler tube covering me and my car in gasoline. This happens everytime the car is filled. *tr I understand chrysler/dodge has recognized this problem in many vehicles but for some reason my vehicle was excluded.
When the gas tank is being filled there is no longer a shut off that occurs thus gas overflows on car, person and gas station floor.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis.
