Gas tank fuel pump unit leaking due to severely deteriorated and cracked plastic. This was identified as the cause of a dashboard warning light. Only after dropping the fuel tank is the fuel pump unit visible. Air bubbles could be seen coming from the top of the fuel pump unit. A metal attachment ring was severely rusted and the fuel unit plastic casing was deteriorated and leaking. The white plastic used for the fuel unit does not seem appropriate for the heat and corrosion in that location. The fuel pump unit was replaced and the warning light is off. This vehicle had the fuel fill tube replaced six months earlier to resolve the fuel spill problem on this vehicle model. The warning light only appeared after that service. It was taken to the dealer once without finding the cause, and a second time when the problem was found. Once the light comes on it doesn't go off. The owner has some suspicion that the warning light comes on when the gas tank is a little low on fuel. Previously gas fumes could sometimes be noted. The car is stored outside. I, the owner, am concerned about the white plastic material used in the construction of the fuel pump unit.

Vehicle was stationary at a filling station fuel pump with engine off. When the filling pump nozzle shuts off back pressure from the vehicles fuel tank forces a stream of gasoline back out of the fill neck. This happens every time the fuel tank is filled. I have read that this is a common problem in several chrysler vehicles caused by a faulty check valve in the fuel tank.

Filling gas tank at fuel pump; set the auto-fil on pump; handle clicked (as normal when a tank is full) as I reached to grab the handle to put away - right before I touch the handle gas is regurgitated and spewed all over me and the side o f the vehicle. I reported the issue to the gas station clerk as a faulty pump and he put an out of order sign on it. Then less than a week later it does the same thing and conviently I see another dodge durango of similar body style and the owner smirks, "your's hates gas too!" leading me to believe it is a defect. We started chatting and he showed me a youtube video of another durango doing the same thing and said hope you have an extended warranty. Took the vehicle to earnhardt dodge where the vehicle was purchased with a lifetime-warranty and they fixed january 10th 2012 for the deductible price of $100. However, further investigation on my part reveals that some (not all were included, but yet some not included suffer the same symptom) 2005 dodge durango were recalled for a faulty gas tank chek-valve that resulted in the exact same parts being replaced: the tank and inlet assembly. Since these are the same parts that were replaced because of the my fuel leak issue - I can only believe that the recall should be extended to cover all similar body style durango's as it is obviously not a problem exclusive to the 2005 dodge durango which shares a body style 2004/5-2009.
