When refilling the fuel tank the nozzle on the hose from the gasoline dispenser does not click on and stop the flow of fuel once the tank is full resulting in approximately 8 ounces of gasoline being regurgitated back out of the tank and onto the side of the vehicle onto the person standing there fueling the car and then onto the ground. In my opinion this poses a grave safety hazard in that this overflow may ignite and injure the person filling the vehicle plus cause a rather large fire when the vehicle and surrounding items at the station also go up in flames.this has happened at several different filling stations and I was advised last friday (1/13/2012) by an attendant at t sam's club filling station that this is a common occurrence for durangos of the age of mine. I stopped by avondale dodge (where I purchased the vehicle new) on my way home to discuss this problem and they gave me a 800 number to call that I've been getting a run around about the problem so far.
2006 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 9 of 20: complaints 221 to 250 of 552, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I go to the gas station to put gas in I can only put a 1.50 in and the pump kick off and gas come out I wait for a little bite and it will take 2.00 and tit does the same thing again it come right back out.
When filling the tank with gas, at end of fill up gas will spewl out onto car, ground, and myself!! Took to dealer was told check valve seal had deteriorated, would need to replace fuel tank. Repair plus labor would be at least $800. Contacted dodge chrysler by email, was called that day. Excellent pr but was told there was no recall at this time for this problem,. There have been other complaints of this problem but not enough to do a recall. Told if I pay the first $200 they would cover the rest, if a recall happens I would be reimbursed this cost. I do not feel that anyone owning this vehicle should be responsible for the cost of this defective regardless of mileage on car. This is a factory defective not caused by ownership. I believe this is a safety hazard, does something serious have to happened to someone and their car before this is taken care of?

Gas overflow safety issue. When filling up the tank, the safety vavle in the gas tank fails and does not shut the pump off. Due to this, gasoline spurts out of the tank. Approximately 5 cups of gasoline spurts out. Most recently, my daughter filled up our tank and the gas spurted out on her. This is both a safety issue and an enviromental issue.
Fuel overspill when gas station pump reaches auto shut-off. After fuel tank replaced, gas station pump cuts out every gallon to gallon & a half when attempting to fill tank.
I have a 5.7 hemi and the problem just started with fuel splashing out after a fill up, pump clicks off, remove the fuel nozzle and out of the vehicle fuel fill gas shoots out and all over. Maybe a pint or quart of gas, hard to measure when it's all over you, the ground and car..... I also called my dodge dealer and my VIN was not part of the recall.
My 2006 dodge durango slt over fills every time it is filled up. Gas will shoot out 12-15 inches in all directions sometimes. This started happening at around 60 thousand miles.

Around august 10, 2011, as I was getting fuel it sprayed fuel everywhere after the nozzle had stopped. I have even tried to slow the rate of fuel and that does not matter. Every time I fill up the tank, it sprays everywhere. I tried different gas stations and still no luck. This poses a safety hazard as all of the fuel spilled on the vehicle, the ground, and on my clothes.
There is a known issue of fuel overflow with 2nd generation dodge durango that dodge refuses to issue a safety recall to fix. At the conclusion of refueling approximately 0.25 gal will gurgle to forcefully eject itself from the fuel filler neck of the durango. Spilling fuel every fill up is a personal safety and environmental pollution concern which needs to be addressed.

Fuel system forces gasoline out of the fuel tank when you are attempting to fill the tank causing extremely hazardous condition and environmental damage . This is an ongoing problem sense the federal safety agency recall in 2005 of the dodge durango fuel systems .
Was filling up 06 dodge durango and fuel will flow out violently after the fuel nozzle shut off was activated. There was about quart or more fuel splashed out of the fuel nozzle of the car. There is even a rust spot on the driver side rear quarter panel under the fuel nozzle on the car where fuel has eating at the metal. This is a very dangerous situation and can be deadly. This should be taken seriously.
Went to fill durango up two days after purchased used. The pump shut off automatically and sprayed approx. One liter of gas on my hand, sleeve, right leg, right shoe, and the fender/bumper of the vehicle. This is a serious safety concern and there is no warning from dodge that this may occur. This was a recall on 2005's and dodge representatives told me when I asked about an assist, "if it was a recall before and isn't now, the issues would have been addressed on the assembly line". This statement, from my case manager, is clearly not true. There are several videos on youtube.com of this happening to vehicles with VIN numbers that are post recall.
When I fill the gas tank, gas spits out . Has happened more than a few times and I read that this is a recall. My dealership shrugs it off and told me its not a recall and just dont fill up my tank.
When I fill my truck with gas it spews out. I have gotten to where I never completely fill my truck. When is someone going to investigate this and issue a recall? I have a feeling that the only way we dodge owners get this problem fixed is if someone is hurt while trying to fill their truck. All it would take is one spark when the gas spills out. Please, force dodge to fix this issue before we hear on the news that someone is injured.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel began leaking from under the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that repairs were needed to the fuel tank. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure and the vehicle not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 90,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back from the fuel tank filler neck. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 111,000.
Every time when filling the fuel tank to full, by hand or automatic shutoff, the gasoline sprays out and overflows onto the car, fuel nozzle, and ground when full. This occurs regardless of the speed of filling the tank.
I have filled up my vehicle on multiple occasions since I have purchased this vehicle used. Every time I fill it up the gas tank bubbles and is shoots a decent amount of gas out of the tank onto the ground and down the side of my car. This causes my car to smell like gasoline and leaves a puddle of approx 1 cup of gas on the ground. At first I thought it was a particular gas stations nozzle, but after going to multiple different stations, I have encountered the same problem. I have not contacted dodge about this problem, but I will be soon. I know there currently is no recall for this, but there should be, this is an extreme safety hazard to have gas flying out of the gas tank.
During fueling operations the vehicles fuel tank was almost full which triggered the fuel pump to shut off, and then immediately fuel began rushing out of the fueling nozzle of the vehicle getting on the side of the vehicle, my hand, foot and the ground. This has happened more than 60 times since owning the vehicle in 2006, and now happens every time I fill the tank to full. There was a similar problem with the 2005 durango that justified a recall, and the same problem exists with the 2006, although there has been no recall. I hope that it doesn't take a major incident, fire or death before chrysler takes this seriously and does the right tyhing by repairing the bad valve in these tanks.
Bought 2006 dodge durango used and pulled out of dealership to get gas and filled up and gas shot everywhere. Very dangerous and fire hazard. Problem filling ever time I get gas. A problem that needs immediate attention before someone gets hurt.
When the vehicle is being refueled the automatic fuel shut off does not work and fuel is spilled on the vehicle and on surrounding grounds.
When filling the gas tank with the automatic shut off, the tank overfills about every other fill.
While re-fueling the vehicle after the pump auto shut off clicks off about a second or two later fuel comes spewing out under pressure, spilling fuel all over the quarter panel and bumper, and onto the ground, spilling approximately a gallon or so. It appears there are several issues on this from searching online, I just purchased this vehicle used about 3 months ago.
Gas no longer automatically shuts off. Gas spills out everytime I refuel. I have to guess when I should stop the fueling but sometimes I miscalculated and it all over my shoes and the ground. Fire hazard in the wait.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that during refueling, fuel would leak from the tank abnormally. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the vehicle but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 51,000 and the current mileage was 59,125. Updated 11/16/11 *bf updated 11/18/11
When filling gas tank after nozzle clicks off within second a gush of fuel shoots out of tank. We are only owner of vehicle and this has happened for years. We had fuel tank replaced once and it continues to happen and is getting really bad again. Today so much fuel shot out that if someone was standing there it would of soaked them. It was so obvious and so much that the other people at the station saw it and were in disbelief. This is getting to be real dangerous.
While filling up my vehicle with fuel, the vehicle topped off and shut off the fuel nozzle, then fuel came rushing out of the vehicle's filler tube onto the vehicle, my hand and leg, and the ground. This is an ongoing mishap with this vehicle and other 2006 durango's as indicated by reviewing historical events on this website. It should not take a major mishap or fire to get the appropriate attention this deserves,. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge there is an issue, however the 2005 durango was recalled for the same exact problem.
