    When filling the gas tank a large amount of gasoline spits out after the fuel nozzle clicks off. I first thought is was a defect with the fuel nozzle. But it continues to happen each time i fill up. This is very dangerous and could cause serious injury or death in the event of a fire or explosion. There are several videos on ytube which clearly show this problem. When this occurs the vehicle is stopped at the…

    Every time i went to fill the gas tank it had a delay overflow . Started out with about a cup of gasoline and then increased to about 3/4 of a pint and this is even when filling very slowly. I checked online and found that there had been a recall on durango's in 2005 for gas tanks overflowing because of a defective check valve. When i contacted the dealer he said that recall did not apply to my vin number?. I do not…

I can park it turn motor off and you can hear it going into 4x4 without me being in the vehicle or touching the 4x4 knob.…

    When refueling vehicle, fuel gushes out of fuel filler tube violently. This occurs no matter what speed fuel is pumped into tank. I see that 2 recalls affect this condition in this model year vehicle but the recalls seem to affect only a portion of vehicles for this model year. My vehicle appears to have been manufactured in april 2005. This appears to place it between the 2 groups of vehicles covered by the recall.…

This has been going on for a very long time. I even had a gas attendant try to tell me i would have to pay for the clean up. I seen were there was a recall on this and i called the manufacturer and they told me my vehicle was not…

    2 problems: 1) even though our local dealership is insistent that we don't have a recall, i can see a recall on your page about windshield wiper motors. Our wipers come on every time we start the vehicle, and they work sporadically. Sometimes while they're on, they won't come on at all, as mentioned in the recall information. Why isn't mine covered? 2) biggest problem: several times (upwards of ten times) i have…

    The first time it happened, the transfer case went into neutral, on it's own, while driving on a divided highway, with no shoulder. It kind of created a traffic jam. Long story short. A friend towed me home. I reset the transfer case per the instruction manual, and it went back into gear. Still do not know why it went into neutral in the first place. Now, when you open the doors, the transfer case motor operates…

Several like model durangos from this year and close to the same year have had recalls to fix this issue. Im not at all sure why my vin does not qualify for the recall but it needs to because the problem is obvious and was definitely a manufacturer error. Please consider this request…

    When filling the tank with gasoline, the pump handle will shut down but gas spews from the filler opening on the vehicle. There is an existing recall for this problem issued in 2009; however, my particular vin is not covered under that recall even though i am having the exact same problem. Perhaps a fire causing injuries is necessary to have this problem covered by chrysler. *tr

    When i'm driving in traffic (approx 30-45 mph) or stopped at a light, my vehicle randomly shuts off. There's no indication this will happen. No lights flash or anything. The truck simply stops. I take it to mechanics and they say they can't identify the problem--but they recognize there's a problem. I'm fearful for the safety of my family in the vehicle and/or anyone we encounter when this happens. It's nearly…

The sales manager noted that he needed to clean up the side of the vehicle--that the gas pump had overflowed. 2 days later when i went to fill up the tank, i had the same issue--the gas tank overflowed. I have looked this issue up online and it seems there was a recall for…
