2006 Dodge Durango: fuel pump failure

Filed Jun 13, 2021 · Electrical, Fuel system · MD

TIPM / PCM (Computer modules) these items are affecting most Dodge vehicles that is listed already for recalls only in 2011-2013 and one earlier. This is happening in a lot of Dodges, mine is 1D4HB48N76F[XXX] (2006 Durango 4.7 SLT). They will stop running anywhere, it shuts the fuel pump off where the vehicles no longer gets gas and you have a full tank. It is only a computerized Dealer fix. Their recall for some vehicles will fix my 2006 also by the simply relay bypass that they are installing.

I can not put gas in the tank. The fuel neck was replaced twice because of the recall. That is not my problem. Very little gas goes in when you engage the fuel pump at the gas station maybe 10 or 12 ounces the the pump clicks off and stops filling. I try it again then slowly put gas in and the fill neck gets full because the tank will not let the gas in and it spits out the fill opening and on the car and ground. I was at costco and the attendant saw my problem and said I had to leave until I get the issue fixed. I was endangering others. I took it to doge were I have my work done and the two fill necks replaced and they said the tank is bad. It needs replaced. At the tune of $1200.00 plus cost. More people than me have experienced this problem and I can not drive the car without gas. I had another mechanic check it out and said inside of the plastic tank that has a liner in it is coming apart inside which you can not repair caused from the ethonal content in gas has caused this issue. The liner is causing the flap inside the opening of the gas tank that the fuel inlet is attached to not to open and allow fuel to go in the tank. The car is too old to have to put this kind of cash in it when it is apearant that it is a defect in the tank which from on line says it is made in china. Again a bad combination china really!!!. I have already put a few thousand in it for transmission dip stick rust off in the check tube ,oil leaks ,trans slipping ,rear end leaking break calipers,and the list goes on. I have dodge's since 2000 and dodge has me as a second class citizen. I had 2000 intrepid 2 dodge grand caravans and the durango. Help please.

This incident has occured twice on me since purchase of a used 2006 durango. On 11/20/16 I stop at gas station to fill the durango up with gas. I place the nozzel into gas tank select my grade of gas & put nozzle into auto fill. Upon tank becoming full of gas the gas nozzel shut off & afterwards gas began to spewed out of tank, sometime with high pressure & sometimes in low pressure spray. Gas continued to flow out of tank for about 6 seconds onto the ground. Vehical was stationary at the fuel pump.

From the time my vehicle was new I had issues with the gas nozzle clicking off but the gas coming back out of the tank. In the beginning it was a very little bit and I could stand there and monitor it and pump in slowly and it wouldn?t do it. It has steadily progressed to where every time I try and fill my tank the gas pump would click off but the gas gushes out onto me and the car and the pavement ? Anywhere from 2 to 5 cups of gas. The tank isn't even full when it does this. I have had it do it when I have only pumped 1 gallon into the tank and continue to click off every couple of cents. It takes at least 10 minutes to put gas in my tank and then it isn't full. It does this no matter what gas station I go to. I have had the tps replaced 3 times, the fuel pump twice......I can't help but feel that all of these problems are inter-related. My minor concern is that this will cause a medical emergency for me as I have acute asthma/breathing issues. This has caused asthma attacks that I have been able to control but my fear is one day I will not be able to control it. My major concern is the gushing out of fuel will eventually result in a fire at the gas station. I really cannot believe there has not been a recall issued as this was a problem with the 2005 durango's that a recall was issued (the federal safety agency campaign id #09v003000, the federal safety agency action #rq08005) - no one is working to protect the public after their obvious failure to correct the problem.

At every fuel fill up regardless of the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off and fuel spills all over the ground and down the side of the truck.

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.

We purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership 12-31-2111 after driving it to the gas station to fill it up I encountered a problem . The fuel pump shut off when the durango was full but immediately after the gas came spraying out of the tank but the pump was off . It sprayed gas all over side of the vehicle and all over me and my clothes it was awful. This has happened 3 times so far and we have owned the vehicle for 3 weeks. After researching online we discovered there is a problem with the tank that crysler/dodge knows about it but there is no recall yet for this year of the durango

During fueling operations the vehicles fuel tank was almost full which triggered the fuel pump to shut off, and then immediately fuel began rushing out of the fueling nozzle of the vehicle getting on the side of the vehicle, my hand, foot and the ground. This has happened more than 60 times since owning the vehicle in 2006, and now happens every time I fill the tank to full. There was a similar problem with the 2005 durango that justified a recall, and the same problem exists with the 2006, although there has been no recall. I hope that it doesn't take a major incident, fire or death before chrysler takes this seriously and does the right tyhing by repairing the bad valve in these tanks.
