    At around 38000 miles we started having issues with the gas spilling out of the filler tube of our 2005 dodge durango when the take gets near full when refueling. At first we thought it was that particular pump, but we have had the same issue at several different gas stations. There is a recall for what seems to be the same issue, but according to the dodge web site, our 2005 durango is not part of the recall. The…

    1-2 possible concerns- #1- (5.7 v.8 engine issue) as many others have complained the vehicle stalls and quits on sudden stops, and when making turn. After the engine shuts off - it can be restarted - but no engine code is generated. The dealer does not know the specific cause, but cites numerous things that it can be - wanting me to spend $$ to investigate each one and replace parts. The service department is not…

    I have a fuel spit back problem w/ my 2005 dodge durango that was manufactured 05/05. It appears to be the same issue that is listed as a recall on the same make and model year vehicle that was manufactured prior to mine. When filling the tank, gas will blow back out of the filler neck with substantial force. Gasoline is speed over the side of the vehicle and ground. The first time this happened i was covered in…

    When filling up our 2005 dodge durango with gas, gasoline spurts out the tank when it is full. There is a recall, but the dealer says our car is not covered. This is dangerous. How is our car not covered also? It has been happening for over a year, since the car had about 30,000 miles on it. From the recall, it is the "fuel tank filler inlet check valve". *tr

The gas not only covers the vehicle but has sprayed me nearly hitting my eyes. The gas poured all over the grounds of the gas station requiring me to report it to the clerk. This happens every time i decide to fill my tank. It has gotten to a point in which i fear to fill my tank. I researched…

    The vehicle stalls out at low speeds. So when you are at a stop light or slow down to turn or are in a parking lot, it stalls. When this happens, you can't steer because that only works with the car running. This started right after the 3 year warranty was over and has continued through today. They also didn't fix the recall item and i have fuel spills every time i set the nozzle on automatic and it is supposed to…

    2005 dodge durango fuel check valve problem. Gas comes back out of the fuel tank when filling the vehicle. I've been drenched with gas many times, lucky there was no static discharge in the area! I was hit the eye with fuel on more than one occasion. Chrysler knows this is a safety issue and has one recall and an extension of that recall but refuses to warranty my vehicle stating that my vin number is not effected!…

    Fuel tank overflows and does not shut gas pump off when the tank is full. Everytime we fill the gas tank up, gas spews out violently all over the ground and onto the person fueling the vehicle. Seems pretty dangerous to me. Gas tank recall is partially in effect for certain vin numbers but not all.

    There was no incident that led to this happening. It seemed to begin for no reason. Whenever i fill my gas tank, if i do not stop the pump before the tank is full, it overflows. This happens any time i fill the tank full. A significant amount of gasoline spills when this happens. Dodge issued a recall for this exact problem on 26,000 other 2005 dodge durangos, but refuses to include my vehicle in this recall…

    When the tank was filled with gas and the auto shut off on the dispenser engaged, gas would spew out of the vehicle under very high pressure. . The fueling problem is one that confounds me. If you allow the fuel dispenser to pump until it automatically stops, you will be greeted with a high pressure spray of fuel that will cover you and anyone standing on the opposite side of the pump. It has been this way for…
