Every time we fuel up the durango, no matter how slow, or even if we allow it to "breathe"... When it gets close to full it shoots out fuel..seriously shoots it out, like 2 feet. We cant fuel it past 1/2 without this happening. Also fuel leaks from somewhere in the fuel fill tube to the tank when ever we fuel at all. I see other durangos have similar complaints for this model year.

Own durango built jan 2006, gas is put in it, click off nozzle, gas comes back out forcefully over the vehicle, ground and myself. It is terrifying and dangerous. There is a recall for this on the 2005. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. I barely drive it because I am so terrified to put gas in it. I tried to email dodge and the email does not go through. I called on the recall and they told me it is for the 2005 and I can have the dealer fix it and maybe they will help. I took it to an independent repair shop and the part alone is $550 and I do not have that kind of money and I don't have 40,000 miles on the vehicle. Here is the recall: january 2009 -- chrysler is recalling 19,024 my 2005 dodge durango vehicles. The fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling.

When filling up with gasoline, upon the fuel pump turning off, the durango's fuel tank will spray gasoline back out to the individual filling up, and leak fuel all over the vehicle and ground. This happens every time I fill up, regardless of filling station. This is documented in countless forums and videos online. The 2005 durango has a recall for this as dodge recognized the risk of a vehicle or fuel station fire. This is dangerous, easily repeatable, and terrible for the environment. And worse yet, dodge even appears to be aware of the situation. This should be fixed by dodge.

Purchased 2006 dodge durango new in october 2006. Sometime in 2009 this began: when you refuel the vehicle, the check valve in the fuel tank does not close at the end of refueling and fuel sprays out from the vehicle filler neck. This occurs nearly every time I refuel. Consequences: fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. I contacted dodge to inform them of this. I took the durango to my dealer and they informed me that I have to order a new fuel tank which is about $700.00 installed. The dealer service representative also informed me the fuel tanks were on back order due to so many being replaced.

Fuel tank overflow I have a 2006 dodge durango that I absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 2 months has developed a problem. Every time I fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense in waste of extra gas I need to pay for. But, I have gas dripping down the side of my truck and in between my bumper fascia. And, this also causes a great scent of gasoline that also somehow gets into the vehicle, and lingers for quite a bit of time afterwards. I hate the smell of gas. I now fill up when I do not have my3 kids in the truck due to the smell and gas fumes are known to cause cancer. I have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation I am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 dodge durango's and not 2006. I have also been on the phone with dodge about this problem many times they keep telling me they never heard of the problem keep telling them same problem as the o5. I would like to have this situation investigated. I would like to request a recall for 2006 dodge durango's be considered as well. It does make me feel a little better knowing I am not alone with this problem. This is still a consistent problem that really, for safety reason must be resolved. Unfortunately, there are many inconsiderate people that I have come across at gas stations that take pleasure in discarding their lit cigarettes onto the ground. And, I will be very upset (if I was to live) if that ignited light came in contact with gas that has spilled out of my vehicle. I greatly thank you for taking the time to read my concern. And, I really am hoping that you can help to resolve my situation, and others in my area.
