2006 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 14 of 20: complaints 371 to 400 of 552, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When fueling my vehicle and the pump clicks off, fuel just spews from the tank all over the ground which angers me due to the environmental factor. This happens every time even at the lowest refuel speed. I noticed many complaints from other 2006 durango owners. Those that had it diagnosed at a dodge dealer say that the gas tank needed to be replaced which solved the problem but costs $600.00 or more. This is the same problem that the 2005 durangos experienced and a recall was issued. This needs to be a mandated recall and replaced free. My car is a 2006 durango, 60,000 miles, 5.7 hemi, 2wd.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel spilled from the filler neck when she refueled the vehicle. The failure occurred whenever the tank had reached its capacity. The vehicle was being diagnosed by the local dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000 and the current mileage was approximately 78,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact was refueling the vehicle when gasoline began to spew from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the entire fuel tank would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure did not recur. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.
We bought a used 2006 dodge durango and started having problems with the vehicle soon after our purchase. We have had to have several things fixed via recalls but what is most concerning to me is the gas tank overflow problem we have been having. I went online to look up recalls and found the 2005s were recalled for the same problem but the 2006s do not fall under the recall. I called chrysler/dodge and they agreed to pay half of the 950.00 that is was going to cost to repair the problem. We had to send the original receipt and work order from the dealer which we did. That was back in april and we still have yet to be reimbursed. After researching the internet I found several people in the same situation as myself. The gas shutoff valve clicks off but gasoline spits out all over me, the car, and the ground every time I go to fill it. It has also splashed in my eyes on several occasions. If anybody were to be smoking or have a cell phone this could cause a fire and serious bodily injury. Since dodge feels it is not their problem I am ready to rally the troops to sue them. Please help me resolve the problem and get my money back from what they should be repairing before somebody blows up. Here are several more complaints about the same thing.

2006 dodge durango spews gas from filler tube whenever we fill it. Dealer diagnosed problem as a flap valve in gas tank, and said the tank should be replaced (approx. $600). At her suggestion we reported problem to dodge. They talked directly to service manager and authorized the repair, minus a $100 deductible. Vehicle was out of warranty, and we had no extended warranty. Dealer said this was a known problem that they had seen several times previously, and that dodge handles it on a case-by-case basis. Given the nightmares reported by other 2006 durango owners with the same problem, we paid the $100 and got a new tank installed. The new tank (and flap valve) resolved the problem. We still believe that dodge should have covered the entire repair because of the number of previous complaints and the severity of the safety issue, but a $100 loss is better than a $600 loss for our family. I sincerely hope that dodge will issue a recall for 2006 and later durangos before there is a very serious accident or fire.
I am the original owner of a 2006 dodge durango and every time I fill it up the gas tank overflows when the automatic nozzle shuts off or if I have been carefully putting in gas at a slow pace. This is a safety problem especially when your standing in a pool of gasoline. I have researched this problem on the web and found several 2006 durango owners responded on the dodge forum with the same problem. Apparently the 2005 durango had the same problem, but was recalled and fixed. When will dodge make this right for all the 2006 durango owners?
I have a dodge durango 2006. Everytime I fill the gas tank, the gas overflows and spills out onto the ground and side of vehicle.
We own a 2006 dodge durango, hemi 8 -cyl engine. We are the first and only owners of the vehicle. When fueling the gas tank, significant quantities of fuel shoot out after the pump has stopped. The person fueling the vehicle gets covered in fuel. Fuel is spilt on ground and on side of vehicle. It makes no difference where you refuel, so it is not station specific. The cabin to the durango fills with fuel vapors and the situation poses significant risk of fire. There are also significant environmental hazards associated with the constant spilling of the gas. It seems that there are other recalls for this issue with the 2005 durangos, but not our 2006.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. While adding fuel it began to spill out of the fuel tank. The failure recurred whenever he added fuel to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where he was informed that they needed to replace the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was 47,000 and the current mileage was 52,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that when the vehicle was being fueled, it would spill out of the tank when full. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the fuel tank and filler neck assembly was defective. The contact was told that the vehicle was not included in recall 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly). The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000 and the current mileage was approximately 38,000.
When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel sprays the refueler after tank is full and pump has already shut off. It appears as though a high back pressure builds inside the tank and may be contributing to this problem. This happens regardless of filling station and has contributed to clothing and bodily contact with gasoline.
My 2006 dodge durango just turned 50,000 miles and all of a sudden every time I fill up on gas the gasoline shoots back out at me. It soaks me, the car, the outside of my car and the ground. This is a fire hazard and a waste of money. I have contacted dodge and this car is not in a recall. I understand 2005 models were recalled for same exact problem. This is very worrisome and very scary.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that I purchased in march, 2010. The last 4 times I have filled my vehicle up with gas, when I stop, a huge amount of gas comes shooting back out of the vehicle soaking me, my clothes, my vehicle and pouring onto the ground. The last time I even attempted to begin putting gas into the vehile, it shot out on me, vehicle and ground. It did this 3 times while I was trying to put gas in my vehicle. I am very concerned for my personal safety. What can be done to correct this at no cost?
I have a dodge durango 06, lately almost everytime I'm filling up gas, the gasoline overflows from the tank and spills out. I see that durango 05 had being recall already for the exactly same problem to prevent possible fire. I check internet and there are many complaints from durango owners with the same issue of spill gasoline when refueling. A called dodge and they said that without recall the cannot do anything.
My 2006 durango has the common fuel over-flowing problem. Upon completion of fill up it overflows a good amount of fuel, often soaking gas attendant, myself and truck. Gas station attendant claims that these trucks all overflow like that and they are a big problem. Its going to be an even bigger problem once one of these ignites into flames!
2006 dodge durango gas tank overfills every time. Lots of gas spills out. Very dangerous.
We purchased a 2006 dodge durango 4x4. The first time we filled the gas tank it never clicked off automatically. This happens every time and causes gas to spill and splash every where. We read this a common problem in 2004 & 2005 and has been fixed by the dealer but we can not get a call back regarding out 2006 vehicle.
Purchased a used 2006 dodge durango on june 9, 2010. Mileage was 50633. For the past 3 months during every fill-up, at various gas stations, fuel pump nozzle will click off when tank is full and then a few seconds later gasoline will forcibly flow from the tank spilling about a quart of fuel on the side of vehicle and on the cement. The only thing we have done to correct the failure is to partially fill the gas tank.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that anytime fuel was added to the vehicle, it shoots back out from the gas tank. The vehicle had not been inspected at the time of the complaint, but the contact feels this was very similar to recall campaign number 09v003000, which deals with the fuel system tank filler tube inlet check valve not fully closing on the 2005 model. The VIN was not available at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 30000 and the current mileage was 55000.
1. Purchased 2006 dodge durango slt w/ hemi, 8 cyl engine used in aug. Of 2006 with 19,000 mi. Responded to 3/9/07 electrical system: instrument panel recall on 12/30/09 at moss bros. Dodge in san bernardino, ca. After initial 12/30/09 visit, experienced power shortages multiple times for the automobile radio. Moss bros. Denied any connection between this and their efforts at the instrument panel. Refused to help in any way. Also began to experience trouble with the gas tank. It began to overflow when I attempted to fill the entire tank. Too discouraged to check with moss bros. Again. 2. The main failure is that gas spews from the tank if it is filled completely, especially if the gas clip is used to automatically fill it. This happened a few times to me and my spouse at multiple gas stations. We now only fill our tank a certain percentage to avoid the problem. The consequences of not being this careful are that gas will spill out on the car, on us, and at the gas pump. An additional consequence is that we would like to sell this car, but will now be forced to foot the bill for this safety issue before we can do so. 3. Nothing has been done at this point to correct the problem because we knew it would be costly. As of this month (aug. 2010) we have just read on the internet that there was a recall for 2005 dodge durangos for this exact problem and other people (who own even newer models, I.e. 2007) are still experiencing this safety issue.
When filling up my 06 durango it always overflows when trying to fill the tank. It happens all the time and at different stations. The tank will fill up and the pump will cut off and then there is a back flow and gas pours out all over the car and the ground.
2006 dodge durango. Consistently, upon finishing filling the fuel tank, up to a quart of fuel will spill out of the fuel filler neck. This poses a potential fire hazard. The issue appears to be similar to the supposedly corrected issue affecting certain 2005 durangos.
When filling up my 06 durango it always overflows when trying to fill the tank. The automatic shutoff on the gas pump will shut off then seconds later gas shoots out the fill tube. This is very unsafe and could cause explosion and hurt many, many people.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the pump would shut off yet one-fourth of gasoline would spew back out from the filler tube onto the ground and on the vehicle. The contact was unable to fill the vehicle with gasoline and could only refuel with small amounts of gasoline at a time. The dealer advised having the vehicle diagnosed at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 23,500 and the current mileage was 26,800.
When filling up my 06 durango it always overflows when trying to fill the tank. It happens all the time and at different stations. The tank will fill up and the pump will cut off and then there is a back flow and gas pours out all over the car and the ground. A lot comes out and is dangerous.
2006 durango fuel tank spews gas instead of shutting pump handle off. This happens anytime we fill vehicle. We must manually turn off pump before we believe gas tank is full to keep from being covered with gas.
I have a 2006 dodge durango that has gas fill overflow issues. When pumping gas, the pump nozzle will automatically turn off, but gas rushes out of the gas tank for a few seconds. Very dangerous and messy. This happens everytime when filling up.
Dodge durango 2006: fuel filler neck problem. When filling the car, fuel can spurt out of the filler neck including spraying on the person filling the tank. Dodge has the identical problem on 2005 cars and issued a recall to replace filler neck and gas tank, but no such recall on other year cars.
When filling the gas tank on our 2006 dodge durango, once the tank is full, gas will shoot out of the tank for a couple seconds unless the pump is manually stopped prior to filling the tank. This happens on almost every fill up.
