Fuel spill / spit back during refueling due to faulty inlet check valve (icv). Occurs every time when refilling tank. Gas has spilled on my clothes and caused irritation to my skin. It also spills all over ground. This is both a flammable hazard and environmental hazard. Called dodge corporate customer care in 2012. They assigned me a case # and case manager. The case manager looked up my VIN and said the defect is not covered under any extended warranty for my specific vehicle.
2006 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 8 of 20: complaints 191 to 220 of 552, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel shut off valve in the vehicle is malfunctioned. Bought used a few weeks ago and have filled up 3 times now, and every time, the pump is not activated to shut of and fuel flies out o the gas tank, getting all over the vehicle, the gas pump, and sometimes the person pumping the gas. Huge safety hazard!!
This problem started when the vehicle was about 3 1/2 years old. It did not do this from the beginning of ownership. When fueling the car, if you attempt to fill it up completely, there is always a back splash of fuel splashing out of the fuel tank and onto the car, pavement and of course, the person filling up the car. I am never able to completely fill up the car because of this. Also, when this happens, there is a chance of a fire occurring. Not safe at all. My research found that 2005 dodge durangos were recalled for this same problem (campaign id number 05v034000), yet nothing has ever been done to fix the same issue with 2006 models. Please do something about this problem!
When filling the fuel tank, fuel gushes out of the fill tube as the pump shuts off. This poses a serious risk of fire and explosion. It has also rusted the area below the fill tube.
While fueling the car at the gas station I keep continuing to have back-flow of gas when filling up. It is happening every-time and I think this is not a safe thing to have gas coming flying back out and getting over the ground. This is a real safety hazard. I have found there is a lot of issues with the 2005 models and now the 2006's are having the same problem. The inquiry is rq08005 and the recall is 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline storage tank assembly filler pipe and cap). We need to pressure them to fix this issue for all the durango's.
When filling fuel tank completely, fuel spits back out at the owner and down the quarter panel, every time. We purchased this vehicle used one month ago. We've tried different gas pumps at different gas stations owned by different companies. I feel this vehicle should be covered under the recall that covers earlier durangos. I rather lick a fat clown's [xxx] than buy another chrysler product. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
There have been 2 recalls to date on the model year 2005 durango, 44,951 all together. With my 2006 dodge durango, fuel sprays out of the fill tube because of a check valve that has already been recalled two different times. No warnings, no letters to the owners of the durango now to advise them to use caution. Please open an investigation now and have this serious safety issue corrected for all of the durango owners on the road today. This is a serious safety concnern. The problem has already been identified in earlier models, and there seems to be significant issues with the 2006 models as well.
During refueling, when the fuel nozzle stops, there is an overflow of fuel spraying out of the fuel tank neck. What is it going to take for your agency to have an investigation? For an individual to burn while pumping gas due to a spark or even worse, to die? There was a recall for the same car on the previous year, why is there no recall for the 2006 model since it is the same problem?
Gasoline sprays back onto person filling the tank after the pump kicks off. Safety issue just purchased as a used vehicle from the dodge dealership in pulaski , wi s&l motors 2298 hwy 32 pulaski,wi 54162
Beginning about a year and a half ago, my 2006 dodge durango slt began spewing gasoline everytime I filled my car at the gas station. It continues to do this since that time and even though dodge has issued a technical service bulletin for this problem, since my car's VIN is not listed as eligible for the extended warranty and repair I am out of luck. I filed an appeal with dodge and it seems the criteria for whether or not the repair will be covered is based on whether I am a good dodge customer. Questions such as did I use the dealership for maintenance, did I own other dodge cars, etc. I think that since this is a known problem, that dodge should stand behind its cars and make the repair. This attitude guarantees that I will not be a dodge customer in the future.
When filling the gas tank with gasoline, the gas will come spilling out once the tank is full. Approximately a pint of gasoline comes squirting out, dousing the handle, side of the vehicle and leaving a puddle of gasoline on the ground. The only way for this to not happen is to prevent filling the car gas tank. I.e. One cannot let the gas overflow mechanism determine when it is full. A recall was already made for the 2005 durango under recall id# 05v034000. My used 2006 vehicle has the same problem.
Every time I fill up with gas it erupts back out of the tank. The local dealer says it is the fuel tank filler check valve. This is located inside the fuel tank. The solution is to replace the fuel tank. Dodge did a recall on the 2005 durango but not the 2006 durango. $900 for the part plus labor.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that after refueling, fuel spewed from the tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed a leak in the detention pump, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired and the VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The failure was experienced numerous times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but assistance with repairs was denied because the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v034000 (fuel system gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 160,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Fuel spray at the end of refueling contacted dodge for the concern for a service bulletin dated 1-20-2012 but my veh doesn't have a x39 for the unlimited time and mileage warranty extension, the bulletin states for 2006-2008 durango and 2007-2008 aspen,no build date,no salt belt area,no engine size. Dodge decides what durango gets a x39 ..and if the cust;experiences this symptom/condition ,proceed with the repair what does it take to get the x39 so we can get this fixed...
Gasoline spews from filler neck every time when I fill tank with gasoline. Every filling station I stop at is the same!! I spill gasoline on me, the car, the pavement. The nozzle will not shut off automatically. If someone were to throw a cigarette toward me there could be a gasoline fire with me in the middle of it. My dealer says there must be a problem with me when I fill my tank. I am 63 years of age, and have owned 15 cars or so, with no problems like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
After filling vehicle with fuel gas will shoot out of intake area. Approximately 1/4 to 1/2 gallon.
While filling fuel tank fuel spills out of filler tube when tank nears capacity.
When fueling vehicle, a large amount of gas overflowed filler tube after pump shutoff. Gas sprayed approximately 3 feet, covering fueler and pump.
Every time I fill my gas tank the following events take place: the gas stations nozzle clicks when the tank is full. A bubbling sound is heard followed by a gush of gasoline spewing from the fill neck onto me and the vehicle. The only way to prevent this from occuring is to try and guess when the tank is nearing full and stop pumping. I've read numerous article about idential problems. There was a recall for the 2005 durango but no recall for the 2006 durango. I've contacted dodge and it is something that'd I'd be responsible for paying for. Therefor I haven't fixed it because of the expense involved.

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
