When filling gas tank, gas shoots out the top when full. Happens at every gas station. Recently took vehicle to dealership for this issue and a gascap warning light and service engine light. Service advisor at dealership said the fuel inlet valve was leaking at a weld seam. Cost of repair is $1240.00. When this occurs about a half gallon of gasoline spews onto the cement which at times in phoenix reaches 120 degrees.plus. Not to mention this could get on me, in my eyes or someone else in the vicinity. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. After researching this issue I have found that similar vehicles in similar years with the similar engine have had the same issue; such as the 2007 dodge durango with the 4.7l v-8 engine.

While driving down the road at 45 MPH I let off the gas to slow down when the truck started to lunge forward then stop then continued to lunge forward it repeated this process for a while. When I pressed on the gas it was fine only when I let off it. After about 5 miles the check engine light came on went to autozone had the code reed. The map sensor was bad so I replaced it myself. A week later driving down the road the truck began doing the same thing, only this time at a stop light the engine shut off. The steering wheel locked up as well as the brakes. I was able to get it restarted but it nearly caused an accident. Went down the road about 1/2 a mile when he died and I was unable to restart it. Had it towed to a dodge dealership who said the map sensor was once again bad. They replaced the map sensor this time and everything was well for about 2 weeks. When once again the truck did the same thing. Took it back to the same dealership once again the fault code was the map sensor. Upon them digging further they found the PCM was actually shorting out the map sensor. So they replaced the PCM. The new one came in and they weren't able to reprogram it. They contacted daimler-chyrsler who sent them another PCM they received that one and still are unable to reprogram the PCM. So that's 3 map sensor's and now 2 PCM's.
