    When filling the gas tank (at any station) the check valve engages too early causing fuel to shoot out of the filler tube. Supposedly this was fixed but either a faulty one was installed or the work was never done (previous owner). Vehicle was also supposedly not covered under recall based on the vin but matched the manufacture date but not serial number. No one has an answer why it is still doing this?

    Gas tank on 2005 dodge durango shoots gas out when filling the tank. Called the dodge recall center and they said there are no "open" recalls. It seems to me that it the gas tank overflows and is a fire/explosion hazard, they should have to fix the problem. Not just say the recall period has ended and be done with it. Any advice on how to get this corrected? *tr
