Page 11 of 20: complaints 281 to 310 of 552, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gas over flowing at the fuel pump when filling up. The pump wouldn't automatically stop till after it was over flowing. Gas spilled on the paint and hands, cloths if your standing there and on the ground cause a possible fire hazard. Took to dealer said it was the gas tank. They replaced it and no more problems. I don't have the old gas tank.$750.00 for the repair.
When filling up my 2006 dodge durango with gasoline, just after the pump clicks off a large amount of gas will spew out from the filler entrance. This has happened at different gas stations. This started happening about a year ago.
I have a 2006 dodge durango. The automatic fuel shut-off valve, located inside the fuel tank, does not work. This allows for fuel to splash out of the tank each time you fill the tank. From the research that I've done, this is a know problem for chrysler products, which resulted in the recall of several thousand 2005 model year dodge durangos. The problem persists in model years 2006 and 2007 for dodge durangos, chrsyler aspens, jeep wranglers and jeep grand cherokees. This is an extreme safety hazard as the fuel splash unexpectedly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that when refueling the fuel tank, the fuel would spew out of the tank when it was full. The emission control light illuminated after the failure and the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who advised that the egr valve would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The current mileage was 43,803 and the failure mileage was approximately 41,200.
The fuel line check valve sticks allowing gasoline to spit back out when filling up the gas tank. This is a 2006 dodge durango, but the problem is identical to the 2005 model recall on the same issue, and which appears well documented elsewhere, including this website which shows the same issue. Http://www.safetyresearch.net/2011/03/23/fuel-spit-back-continues-to-plague-chrysler-vehicles/ my local dealer quoted me $1,200 to replace the valve, and chrysler customer care said that they "might' pay a goodwill payment to reimburse me if I got it fixed. Not sure what to do especially if it is recalled like it should be if the 2005 model was for the same reason.
I have a 2006 dodge durango. The last 5 times I've filled it up, the gas has overflowed even though the auto shut-off clicked on the pump handle. The first time I thought it must be the pump, but now that it's happened 2 more times, I'm am very worried and would like this fixed by dodge. My vehicle is not on the recall list but is doing the same as the ones that have been recalled.
When I refuel my 2006 dodge durango after the gas pump shuts off there is a burst of fuel that will flow out of my gas tank and leak all over the side of the car. This can be extremely hazardous to myself and the children in the car if a spark is present. This issue happens everytime I refuel my vehicle all the way and has now cause the paint to also to start coming off under the gas tank.
At about 58,000 miles my 2006 dodge durango began to overflow or spit back a large amount of fuel when topping off the tank. The amount of fuel is about 1/2 to 1 gallon in size and spits out of the filler neck in a flowing spray. It does this every time I fill it till the pump auto shuts off.
Fuel spills out of the gas tank when finished filling up. I called dodge on 10/28/2009 to see if there was a recall. Dodge said there was a recall, but only on the 2005 models, not the 2006 models. They gave me a case # and told me to get it checked out by my dealership. When I got to the dealership they wanted to charge me to look at it. I thought that I was the only one with this problem, however I see over 270 complaints here on the d.o.t. Website. This is a serious safety and environmental issue. I can tell you that the ecco friendly vapor locking gas pumps do not work on my durango when gas comes spraying out the fuel filler neck all over the truck, ground, and anything near it including people. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed and I hope it isn't my 16 yr. Old son who just got his license. This is an obvious defect of the fuel check valve and the recall should be extended to the 2006 models as well. I will be taking videos of my next several fill-ups as evidence. How many complaints does it take to get some action?

The shut-off valve on the gas tank for my 2006 dodge durango does not work and significant volumes of gasoline spill onto the ground during each visit to the gas station. Due to repeated events over the life the vehicle the paint under and behind the tank has failed and rust under the paint is occurring.
Fuel spills out of fuel tank when filling fuel tank.
Fuel filler tube overflows after fuel pump at the gas station hits the auto shut-off point. Notified dealer who said they hadn't heard anything about a problem like that, but offered to look into it for a charge. Approximately 1-2 cups of fuel shoots out of the filler tube every time the vehicle is filled. The fuel sprays over whomever is filling the vehicle and is ruining the paint around the filler tube. There is an extreme fire/explosion danger as well as potential for damage to eyes, lungs, and skin. This is also damaging to the environment.

We get drenched with gasoline when we fill up our 2006 durango gas tank. When the gas pump clicks off, gas shoots out from the fuel fill. In checking with dodge, they have exact problem with their 2005 durango, which was recalled. This 2006 needs to be recalled too. Very dangerous situation, not only for us, but for the next fuel customer who may be standing in a pool of gasoline from our durango.
Faulty valve on fuel tank does not prevent gasoline from spilling during refill.
When refueling vehicle the gas will exit tank with force, spilling gas on ground, vehicle and operator. Potential explosion hazard, environmental damage, chemical burns and explosion injury. This started occurring at around 75,000 miles and happens at every fill up when topping off.
When recently filling the gas tank on our 2006 dodge durango slt with about 46k miles from near empty, about 1-2 cups of gasoline came spraying back out of the filler, and for the rest of the day the interior of the car had a strong gas odor, making my wife and two children nauseous. I have seen several other complaints of this on this website http://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-durango/190747-gas-fill-overflow-on-my-06-durango-14.html.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While fueling the vehicle, approximately a quart of fuel spilled out. The failure had been on-going since december 2010. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the failure and they advised him that the fuel filler tube and filter needed to be replaced.

Fuel overflows while filling tank at every fill-up, and at every gas station or pump. Started at approx. 45,000 miles. Called dealer and they said that hadn't heard of this problem in the 2006 model, only the 2005. Have an appt. To check out. Luckily I have the extended warranty, which has come in use twice now!
I am the original owner of a 2006 dodge durango, I never had a problem until my mileage hit 40,000. My problem is when I filled my fuel tank the pump shuts off and gas would gush out of the tank. Everyone even strangers would tell me how dangerous this was, a spark from another car or static electricity could start a fire if this happened at the gas station it could be disastrous. The first few times this happened I ended up drenched with gas. I would then stand behind my durango when fueling. And still end up smelling like gasoline because it was all over the ground, the vehicle, the handle and pump. I called my dealer explained what happens and was told there wasn't a recall on this spilling gas problem and if everything that went wrong had a recall they would make no money. Does a fire have to start or someone get hurt or die before dodge steps up to the plate and accepts responsibility. I had my fuel tank replaced and was told "this problem was not caused from age, wear and tear it was a manufacture failure. The total cost for this was $1,600.00. Changed state from alabama to california at the consumers request. 04/26/11 updated 05/06/11
2006 dodge durango, ever since time of purchase at 96,000 miles every single time I fill up at any gas station (have used over twenty different gas stations to try and remedy the problem) the gas pump will click off, and after waiting about 1 second there will be over a pint of gasoline discharge from the gas tank. This could cause a vehicle fire, and is a hazmat issue with the gasoline being discharged onto the ground on possibly the person filling the vehicle. Any quick google search results for 2006 dodge durango gas tank overflow shows thousands of results and multiple videos of the instance. Daimler chrysler customer service states there is nothing that they can do for me, and my local dealership says that it is not covered under warranty. This needs resolved before a real accident happens and someone loses a life!
Dodge durango gas tank fuel overflow problem.
Tl* the contact submitted an email and requested to use the email, verbatim, as the submitted complaint: since about 50k miles (now have 81k) we have experienced gas shooting out of the fill tube every time we fill the tank up. It has gone all over my wife's arm along with the side of the vehicle itself. Very dangerous issue. I understand there is a recall for '05's but not '06's. Same issue so why not. Are they waiting for a death to occur. Dodge says they will not fix it unless I pay first to have a diagnosis and then I still have to pay $450 of the total bill! How about working thru dodge/chrysler to get this issue solved before it is too late. Thank you.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated when dispensing fuel into the fuel tank, the fuel would spray out of the filler neck after the automatic shut off engaged. The intermittent failure progressed over time which resulted in a continuous occurrence when refueling. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Whenever we try to fill gas the gas comes spraying back out going on the ground, on the side of the durango and on us. We have tried numerous gas stations in several towns, different pumps at those stations and different kinds of gas. The result is always the same. Currently we try to guess how many gallons we can put in and try to stop the pump in time but this is a huge inconvenience. I can't imagine how many gallons of gas we have paid for that went everywhere but in the gas tank not to mention all the car washes we've paid for to wash the gas off the paint. We've even had gas station attendants approach us about the amount of gas on the ground.
