When filling fuel tank, fuel spills out of fill hole after fueling is complete. Happens every time we fill the vehicle. Same issue that was happening on 2005 model that had a recall.
2006 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 19 of 20: complaints 521 to 550 of 552, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am the proud owner of a 2006 dodge durango. However, every time I fill the gas tank, fuel spews from the tank once the pump kicks off. This occurs 100% of the time regardless of the service station or pump used, setting up a potential fire hazard and hazardous waste situation at the service station. Due to the severity of this condition and number of complaints filed (28 on one site), I'm shocked that there has been no investigation or recall issued. I have resorted to stopping the pump well short of filling the tank, which is impractical on long trips.
I recently purchased a used 2006 dodge durango limited. The vehicle now has about 33,500 miles on it. Whenever I completely fill the tank with gasoline, it overflows. Gasoline is sprayed onto the person pumping the gas and down the side of the vehicle. This is very dangerous. We no longer fill the gas tank completely in order to avoid the problem, but this is not an ideal solution and it still occurs randomly. I understand that there are recalls on earlier models (2005) but so far have not received a notice on our vehicle. I think this is a very dangerous situation and would like to have chrysler/dodge expand this recall to later models.
Fuel spills out of the tank at the end of refueling.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. Whenever the contact fills up his fuel tank, gasoline spills out all over the place. The failure has occurred numerous times. The dealer stated that a new fuel tank was needed. Through online research, the contact found numerous complaints for the same failure he was experiencing. He believes a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 6,000 and current mileage was 15,000.
At the end of filling the gas tank, frequently when pumps shut off, gasoline is ejected from the gas tank filler opening. This occurs at different gas stations indicating that it is not specific to a pump or station.
When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel spews out at the end. This started ~6 months ago, and now happens every time the tank is filled. It has happened at a number of different gas stations / pumps. This appears to be the same issue as described in a 2005 durango recall, however 2006 vehicles are not covered in the recall. All equipment is original (no parts replaced).
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that every time he fills up the vehicle with gasoline, fuel would spew out of the gas tank and splash all over him. The dealer stated that the issue could not be repaired under warranty and would cost $1,400. There is a recall regarding this fuel system issue for the 2005 durango, but not the 2006. The contact feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs since there is a recall for the previous year. The current mileage was 47,000 and failure mileage was 30,000.
Everytime I completely fill up the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango, I get gas sprayed all over the side of the vehicle. It has started occurring in the last few months, and it will occur everytime unless I fill it at the slowest pump speed, and then sometimes it still occurs.
Every time I fill up my 2006 dodge durango, the gasoline nozzle shuts off when the tank is full but the vehicle still "spits" out roughly a half gallon of gasoline all over the ground, vehicle and the person filling the tank. I have tried many gas stations to be sure that it is not the pump and have verified that it is the vehicle. In my research and discussions with dodge dealers, it seems that a recall was issued for 2005 models for this exact issue, but they fail to issue one for the 2006 model. I called daimlerchrysler and they refused to do anything about it. The mechanic says that it will cost roughly $800 to have the fuel tank replaced and get the problem fixed. I find this unreasonable as this is a manufacturer defect and a potentially serious safety hazard. As a firefighter, I have experience with fuel spills and the definite potential for a large fire as a result of a small fuel spill such as this. In addition to the danger of fire there is also a potential for aspiration of gasoline liquid or fumes as a result of the gasoline spewing out at the person filling the tank. This could cause potential death if it occurred. I personally have had the gasoline spew out and got a drop in my eye, requiring me to run to the bathroom and flush my eye out. The spills have also ruined articles of my clothing and will eventually ruin the paint on my vehicle.
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.
Gas spews out of the gas tank after filling the tank at the pump. Same issue was found on the 2005 dodge durango and fixed by dodge. Approximately 1/2 to 1 full cup of gas shoots out during fill-up.
When fueling my vehicle, the fuel overflows at the end of the fill-up spitting approximately 1 pint of gas each time. The condition occurs when the tank is shown as empty or partially empty (I.e. 1/2 tank). In addition, the issue occurs whether I manually hold the gas pump lever or place the pump lever on its automatic latch. The problem has become consistent over the past 2-3 months while it only occurred a few times in the past 2 years that I have owned the vehicle. I just took the vehicle to the dealer for review and they have indicated that they could not duplicate the issue, 3/19, and on 3/22 the fuel spitting occurred during fill-up once again.
Every third or forth fill up gas will come spurting out of the fuel filler. Could be very dangerous.
When filling vehicle with fuel at several different gas stations, as the gas tank approaches full and the nozzle shuts off, a significant amount of fuel sprays out of the filler tube. It has sprayed me twice and today sprayed the gas pump unit as it is under pressure when it overfills.
Fuel tank overflow I have a 2006 dodge durango that I absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 12 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 have purchased this vehicle mainly for the safety and security it has given me while driving my 4 year old son. He hates the smell of gas. I now fill up when I do not have him in the truck. 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 would like to have this situation investigated. I would like to request a recall for 2006 dodge durango's be considered as well. In speaking with my gas station petroleum pumper's, they all (at various stations such as sunoco and hess) mention to me that a lot of durango that come in have that problem. So, it does make me feel better knowing I am not alone. 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.

Gas spews out of the gas tank filler hole before topping off. This happens at every gas station. The automatic shut off on the gas pumps do not detect that the tank is nearing full. Manually filling very slowly still causes gas to gush back out of the filler hole. Service at dodge dealership said it might be the tank breather, but the did not repair.
When fueling 2006 dodge durango, like one quart of fuel erupts out of fuel tank filler when tank fills completely this happens to me every time.
Starting about 6 weeks ago, everytime we fillup the tank it overflows at the end of the process. The overflow spews gasoline all over the side of the car and on the pavement creating a safety and environmental hazard. In some cases, either my wife or I received splash impact on our hands and clothes.
At the end of refueling my 2006 durango gasoline just comes pouring out. It goes out all over my durango and me. Every single time. The dealer wants to charge me about $800 to replace the tank.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact recently purchased the vehicle and noticed that gasoline spills out of the tank when placing fuel in the vehicle. The fuel nozzle did not stop when the tank was full. Fuel still sprayed out of the tank and onto the contact. The failure occurs without warning. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 36,000. Updated 03/23/09. *lj updated 03/23/09.

2006 durango hemi v4 5.7 ltd. Fuel overflows onto ground and truck when filling up tank.
The fuel tank on my dodge durango spews gas out onto the vehicle and pavement at the end of filling up the gas tank. This began occurring about 3 months ago and happens every time I fill up. This is an extremely dangerous situation. The gas could ignite, plus it is an environmental hazard. My local dodge dealership (roger williams dodge) is refusing to pay for the repair. After researching this problem, I find this is a widespread issue with durangos. I should not have to pay for something that is obviously a factory defect. I want the gas tank replaced immediately on my vehicle.
When I fill up my gas tank, the gas does not shut off, but overflows spewing gasoline out all over the place. The last two times I filled up, there was just a small amount which overflowed. Today I was doused with gasoline from my waist to my ankles.
For the last 3 months, every time I fill up my gas tank, when I remove the nozzle from the tank gasoline overflows on the side of my vehicle and the ground. At first, I thought it must be a problem with the pump at the gas station, but I reported it to my dealer during my last oil change, and he said my gank tank needed to be replaced.
I bought my durango over a year and a half ago. This was in the spring when winter rolled around and cooler months all fuel pumps would over fill the fuel tank. Problem went away in the spring then this fall/winter the problem came back again. It acts as if the fuel vapor recovery system is becoming restricted with the cooler temperatures. Causing fuel to be burped out after the pump shuts off.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. Whenever the contact fills the fuel tank, gasoline sprays out of the tank. The fuel nozzle stops whenever the tank is full; however, fuel still sprays out of the tank. The failure occurs without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the fuel tank filler pipe and cap. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 64,000 and current mileage was 66,000. Updated 1/8/09 *cn the dealer found a faulty tank inlet check valve. Updated 01/14/09.
When my fuel tank is empty and I refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank. This has been happening for about 7 weeks. Also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off. This happens sporadically and dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated at the shop.
I have a 2006 dodge durango and every time I fill up the gas tank it shoots gas out of the filler neck. There was no problems leading up to the problem. I brought it to the dodge dealer and everything checked out on the diagnosis.
