    No events leading up to failure. At beginning of november 2010 began to fill gas tank, when tank full, gas nozzle clicked off and a couple of seconds later gasoline sprayed out all over my pants and all over the ground. Since that time, everytime tank is filled, the same thing has happened. My concern is if there is an ignition source with all the gas that leaks out, a fire could result, or if the pump happens to…

    I bought this vehicle used, and started having problems with it immediately after buying it. Gas overflows out of the gas tank almost every time i fill it up. It's going to catch on fire at some point because of this. Also, the engine stalls out at random times causing the vehicle to steer and brake very poorly until restarted. I noticed that other model years of this same vehicle have had the same problems as this…

    When filling fuel tank, a large amount of fuel sprays out right after the pump shuts off. Easily a quart of gas sprays everywhere. Even refueling slowly does not prevent this. Spilled gas presents a fire hazard.

    Gas spills when pumping gas started at 98322 miles. Took it to a dodge dealer and the dealer said it was not under the recall. My dodge durango does what the recall claims needs repair.

Transmission went out and now i'm having another problem. The tcm has an error and the…

    2005 dodge durango spills fuel when finishing filling the tank. This is a common problem, but dodge will only include certain vins in the recall, even though the same year and model vehicle is affected with different vins. This is a serious issue that can result in a fire or explosion. *tr

    The fuel tank spews gas at me when i fill it up, and sometimes only when i partially fill it gas comes out as well. Dodge has a recall issued on some 2005 dodge durango vins, but mine is not in the recall even though it has the problem. I need help getting it fixed as dodge currently does not feel it is their responsibility. It first occurred a couple of months ago and continues to be a problem. *tr

    When filling the gas tank, gas will spray out of the tank. Sometimes the pump will automatically shut off, other times it requires manual assistance. According to www.motortrend.com, there have been two recalls for this problem - one in 2005 and the other in 2009. When calling dodge, they state that those recalls may have been "vin specific" and they do not have any recalls in the system for my vehicle. *tr
