I asked the gas attendant to fill up the tank. After about half a minute or so, gas sprayed out of the tank. I would estimate half a gallon of gas or so was sprayed out onto the car and ground. At first I thought it was the gas pump nozzle. Did fill ups at three different gas stations and same result. I called the dealership and the mechanic said that only the 4.7s are being recalled not the 5.7s for the gas tank's return valve malfunction which causes the spray.

When my wife filled up the vehicle the gas splashed back all over her. His happens all the time . We took it too a dealer and they said it was already fixed but it still has the same issue.
When filling my tank, as soon as the gas pump shuts off, fuel spews out of the car, on to ground, and myself if standing nearby. The only way to keep this from happening is to not fill the tank all the way.

Experiencing same issue as reported in the federal safety agency recall campaign number 09v003000 - fuel-spit back problems caused by stuck inlet check valves in the fuel tank filler tubes. When filling up the tank the fuel spits out. This issue occurs regularly upon fill up. The fuel spits out onto vehicle, gas station pavement, and clothing. This is an extreme hazard to myself and to my passengers in the vehicle during regular fill ups. I've had to refrain from filling up the vehicle to full capacity to avoid this occurrence. I checked my VIN [xxx] for recall information on dodge.com and my vehicle was erroneously not included in this recall. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
We had our gas tank replaced on our vehicle on 7/24/08 and chrysler then had a recall notice for the fuel inlet valve issue, which was the problem that we were having. We have contacted chrysler about reimbursing us the cost of the gas tank due to the recall and they will not reimburse this money, stating that they have reviewed our case and will not reimburse us. We were not aware of this recall, as we did not receive a notice. We have owned the vehicle since february of 2008. We just became aware of the recall and therefore contacted chrysler about this situation. Does the company have to cover this cost due to the recall of the gas tank and if so is there a time limit on the recall?

I have owned this vehicle for approximately four years now. It has a persistent and very unsettling problem of stalling for no apparent reason with no corresponding warning lights etc. It just dies and the power steering and brakes fail resulting in significant loss of steering and braking effectiveness. This problem has occurred intermittently with no pattern of origin evident several times over the past few years. On several occasions, it has occurred while pulling out into busy traffic lanes across intersections. I have been able to put it into neutral and immediately restart it to avoid a collision. I have utilized fuel cleaners and changed the spark plugs etc. In a effort to resolve the issue. It happened again today at low speed in a parking lot fortunately..just died without warning. I researched this online and found that this is a common engine problem complaint with the durango. Today, this occurred with over 3/4 tank of fresh fuel in the tank. This problem constitutes an immediate safety hazard to owners of these vehicles and I am requesting that the federal safety agency initiates an investigation into it's cause ( s ) - thank you - related website link re: common problem - http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/durango/2005/engine/stalling_without_warning.shtml .

When we filled up at the gas station the car didn't plug itself when it got full--gas ran out all over my hands, car and ground. This has happened at least 4 times in the last year. The dealership tells me that my VIN is not one of the cars registered for a recall for the fuel tank inlet check valve--which it should be! This is a fire waiting to happen!!!!
Fuel sprays out of the filler tube every time the vehicle is filled. The shut-off cannot be relied upon, and the tank cannot be filled fully. Contacted dodge 800 number and dealership and was advised my vehicle is not part of the recall, although it displays the same symptoms of the recalled vehicles.

Fuel will spray out when fueling is completed. I had the recall accomplished back in 2006, but this recall did not resolve the issue and my vehicle continues to spray fuel after every fill up. Another recall needs to be issued.

When filling vehicle, at full shutoff, fuel blows back out the filler tube.
Fuel spitting out of tank on fill up.
My 2005 dodge durango has a serious malfunction which causes excessive gasoline to spew from the vehicle during filling. This occurs at every fill up of the vehicle and is very difficult to prevent, even once I became aware of the issue. The gasoline exist the vehicle with considerable force the amount can vary but is typically equivalent to ~20 fl oz. Not only is this a obvious fire/explosion risk, but is also a hazardous chemical risk as the gasoline often makes contact with clothes and skin during refueling. I notified dodge of this issue was given a case # however was notified that dodge does not consider this an issue and will not fix the issue unless it is a recall. There is a very well documented evidence from the internet to support that this is not an isolated issue and that many other durango owners are having the same issue.
