The vehicle spews gas once fueling begins. It overflows the gas tanks and a lot of fuel spills on the ground. This is an ongoing issue with every refuel of the vehicle which began in october 2010.

While refueling my 2006 dodge durango limited at the aafes gas station on randolph afb, fuel came spewing out of the refuel nozzle once the pump cut off and the tank was full this has happened over 60 times since owning the vehicle, and at various gas stations across america. The gas station attendant was very angry with me saying that I overfilled the tank until I explained to him what is going on withthe vehicle. He got a mop hazmat kit and cleaned up the mess before I left. This is a safety and fire hazard. The 2005 durango was recalled for the same problem, but the 2006 is being ignored. You can see a video of this happening on youtube by looking for 2006 durango fueling problems. There are too many complaints on this website for nothing to be accomplished for us owners of the 2006 durango. What will it take, a fire and someone injured or killed to get the message? Chrysler refuses to acknowledge there is an issue, and my local dealer is in denial and knows nothing of the problem.
While refueling my 2006 dodge durango limited at various gas stations between pensacola florida and san antonio texas, fuel comes spewing out of the refuel nozzle once the pump cuts off and the tank is full this has happened over 60 times since owning the vehicle, and at various gas stations across america. My wife has reuined a pair of shoes and a dress because fuel came spewing out and got all over her, the truck and the ground. This is a safety and fire hazard. The 2005 durango was recalled for the same problem, but the 2006 is being ignored. You can see a video of this happening on youtube by looking for 2006 durango fueling problems. Chrysler has contacted me concerning th eproblem, but want me to pay for the diagonosis, and if parts are found defective, they will pay for the repair. I am a retired military war veteran and disabled veteran, I cannot afford $400+ to diagnos a problem they may not cover repairs on I have googled this problem and also belong to two dodge durango web groups and multiple owners have this problem. Someone please look into this before a mishap occurs. In the meantime, I only put 19 gallons in my durango and stop fueling. Even when I do this, fuel comes back up th etube, but not all the way out.
Each and every time I've let the gas pump auto-fill the tank, gas comes spurting back out. I no longer fill up the tank completely and have to manually stop the gas pump, in a sense, guessing as to when the tank is almost full.

I have a 2006 dodge durango that has a safety issue. When I fill up, the gas pressure builds up in the tank and spurts out all over. I can actually hear it start gurgling in the tank. I have been covered with gasoline on a several occasions. The first few times, I thought maybe it was something I had done, or the gas pump where I was filling. But I recently went on 2 trips from fl to ny and back and it happened almost every fill up on both trips within a month, as well as fill ups in between and as I stated, some prior to. This created several hazardous situations. Gasoline on my person and clothing, inhalation of the fumes causing illness, gasoline on my vehicle, gasoline on the pavement at the gas pumps. I have seen several posts online about my exact problem since it happened. One person is personally documenting cases. He has over 120 + cases he is aware of, not including mine, this year alone. This is the first step I have taken at this point, as I feel this should be a recall issue if it is happening with such frequency. These are the documented cases just through one person online, which leads me to believe that there are many other cases not documented. Not to mention people who don't fill their tanks all the way who may have the issue and do not even know it. Does somebody have to be burned or otherwise injured, overcome by the fumes first? How many instances must occur before it becomes a true safety concern? Does my child need to fill the tank and maybe swallow the gasoline that spurts out? Please let me know if anything is in the works. The one individual says he was initially looking at a $350 repair bill that was then lowered to $100 and then offered free due to his complaints. I agree with him, it looks like they want to pay him off to shut him up. Meanwhile they make money off what is obviously a manufacturer's defect. I have never seen this problem before and I have had many vehicles with many problems. This one is unique and is a safety issue.

Gasoline spews out of the fill spout when gas tank is full. This happens every time the pump shuts off when tank is full. You have to be very careful that the gasoline doesn't spray all over the person filling the tank.
2006 dodge durango spews fuel when trying to fill up tank. Have checked online and this is a big problem. The durango was recalled in 2005 for this same issue.
Every time I refuel my 2006 dodge durango (limited), at least half a gallon of gasoline spews back from the fill nozzle and onto the side of the SUV and ground (and sometimes myself or my wife). This is our family vehicle, and I consider this very dangerous for both my wife and I and our children. This is a hazard that needs to be addressed. I can provide video proof that this is a problem.
Just purchased 2006 dodge durango slt on tuesday, june 22, 2011. Was filling gas tank this evening, pump shut off and about 1/2 a gallon of gasoline sprayed out of the vehicle, all over me and the ground. Thought I did something wrong until I got home and researched this incident and see that this is a very common thing with these durango's and something needs to be done about this before someone gets seriously injured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What if this would have sprayed into my eyes? Why won't chrysler do a recall on these and fix them. I am going to be scared now to pump gas when I need it!! I have owned this vehicle for 2 days now........... Please help us durango owners get this problem fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chrysler needs to have a serious recall and get this fixed before someone gets hurt. It's documented quite well that this is a problem. What is it going to take?
Dangerous fuel safety problem with 2006 dodge durango ! When filling gas tank, the pump automatically shuts off and approximately 1-2 pints of gas shoots out of the filler nozzle. It doesn't matter what brand of gas pump, or how much fuel is dispensed. This always happens when filling up.
I just purchased a used 2006 dodge durango. Everytime I fill it up with gasoline, when it gets full, gasoline overflows from the filler tube and gets on the ground and me. I have read on dodge forums that this a common problem among durango owners and I feel is a safety issue.
Dangerous fuel safety problem ! When filling gas tank, the pump automatically shuts off and approximately 1-2 pints of gas shoots out of the filler nozzle.

I have been having this problem for the past year and the dealer isn't acknowledging the problem. I placed the incident date so as to move to next page of this complaint.
I have a 2006 dodge durango limited with the 5.7l motor. Every time I fill up with gas it spews out excess gasoline. This happens at any gas station. The vehicle has 72,500 miles on it and this problem has occurred for the last 12,000 miles. I have contacted various dealers and I go thru the same routine: VIN reference, then they proceed to tell me it is not covered under lifetime powertrain warranty, and that they have never heard of the issue, and to contact dodge corporate for assistance. When I contact corporate I follow the steps and they always tell me they cannot assist me at that time. I can never talk to a real person. I have a family and I do not want a fire leading to my families endangerment.
My 2006 dodge durango began having issues with the fuel tank one year ago. Every time I fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. May 2011 a service shop found that a solenoid had failed and replaced it. They also found that the surge canister was holding gasoline, as it likely is filled when the tank spews gas back out. Replacing the solenoid did not correct the problem, and the service technician informed me that there were several reports of this occurring with other dodge durangos, but that my year vehicle had not been recalled. Only 2005 durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem. I reported this to chrysler on may 24, and the case manager contacted me on may 31 to report that chrysler was choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.
When fueling my 2006 dodge durango; the pump will click off automatically then gas will overflow from the tank. I purchased this vehicle used and have had the problem since day 1 of ownership. Dodge recalled the 2005 model for the same problem. I contacted dodge; and took my vehicle in to an authorized dealer. $1043 plus tax for parts and labor to have the fuel tank replaced. Why did they recall the 2005 but not the 2006 for the exact same problem. This is absolutely ridiculous. It is a safety hazard !!!!!! Please, please, please help 2006 owners get this resolved.
When fueling, if allowed to fill up, at the point of full/pump cut off, gasoline will spray out of the fill tube around the nozzle and create a large puddle on the ground. This was intermittent at first, but has since become an every time occurrence. Not only an environmental hazard, this poses serious risks to the passengers (esp. Children)
