This occurs at every station we've refilled the tank since the issue has arisen. Typically one cup of gas leaks out of…

    Purchased 2006 dodge durango new in october 2006. Sometime in 2009 this began: when you refuel the vehicle, the check valve in the fuel tank does not close at the end of refueling and fuel sprays out from the vehicle filler neck. This occurs nearly every time i refuel. Consequences: fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. I contacted dodge to inform them of this. I took the durango…

    Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango .the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling. This allows fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. A technician from the dealer stated that his model year was excluded from recall campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap); therefore, he was not eligible for a free remedy.…

    I am the proud owner of a 2006 dodge durango. However, every time i fill the gas tank, fuel spews from the tank once the pump kicks off. This occurs 100% of the time regardless of the service station or pump used, setting up a potential fire hazard and hazardous waste situation at the service station. Due to the severity of this condition and number of complaints filed (28 on one site), i'm shocked that there has…

    Tl* the contact submitted an email and requested to use the email, verbatim, as the submitted complaint: since about 50k miles (now have 81k) we have experienced gas shooting out of the fill tube every time we fill the tank up. It has gone all over my wife's arm along with the side of the vehicle itself. Very dangerous issue. I understand there is a recall for '05's but not '06's. Same issue so why not. Are they…

    I have a 2006 dodge durango that when filling with fuel the fuel comes pouring out of the fuel filler. This occurs every time i let the pump try to stop on it own. I tried many gas stations to make sure it was not the pumps fault and found it happens at all gas stations. This is not safe as quote of fuel comes out that could start a fire or splash into the face of a short person. I talked to the dealer ship and they…

    I recently purchased a used 2006 dodge durango limited. The vehicle now has about 33,500 miles on it. Whenever i completely fill the tank with gasoline, it overflows. Gasoline is sprayed onto the person pumping the gas and down the side of the vehicle. This is very dangerous. We no longer fill the gas tank completely in order to avoid the problem, but this is not an ideal solution and it still occurs randomly. I…

    When fueling, if allowed to fill up, at the point of full/pump cut off, gasoline will spray out of the fill tube around the nozzle and create a large puddle on the ground. This was intermittent at first, but has since become an every time occurrence. Not only an environmental hazard, this poses serious risks to the passengers (esp. Children)

    Fuel fill-up worked flawlessly until ~45k. Every fill-up after that (now at 58k), allows gas to spill out on the ground. The gas pump clicks off, and then 1 to 2 cups of gasoline gush out of the filler neck. The only solution i've found is to stop filling the gas tank before it's full (guessing game required to prevent environmental hazard). How can this not be a recall? *tr

    Every time i gas up my 2006 dodge durango, the gas pump will shut off from being full, but a couple seconds later, gas will spray out of the tank with the nozzle still in place, usually spraying myself or my wife and gasoline with then run down the side of the car causing issues with paint, but also leaving a puddle of gasoline. I fear this is a hazard, not only for the reasons of a possible fire, but i fear that…

    2006 dodge durango fuel overflow while filling. Problem started about 4 months ago, and happens with every fueling. There are two existing fuel overflow recalls on the 2005 dodge durango, but no similar recalls for the 2006 durango yet. *tr

    During refueling, when the fuel nozzle stops, there is an overflow of fuel spraying out of the fuel tank neck. What is it going to take for your agency to have an investigation? For an individual to burn while pumping gas due to a spark or even worse, to die? There was a recall for the same car on the previous year, why is there no recall for the 2006 model since it is the same problem? *tr

    Starting about 3-4 months ago, whenever gas tank is filled, gas gushes back out of the vehicle, even after the pumping stops. We've had this happen numerous times at several different gas stations. This causes waste and a safety hazard, as it usually spills down the side of the vehicle and spews onto whoever filled the tank. Vehicle has less than 35k miles on it. *tr

I have tried many gas stations to be sure that it is not the pump and have verified that it is the vehicle. In my research and discussions with dodge dealers, it seems that a recall was issued…

    Gas spews out of the gas tank filler hole before topping off. This happens at every gas station. The automatic shut off on the gas pumps do not detect that the tank is nearing full. Manually filling very slowly still causes gas to gush back out of the filler hole. Service at dodge dealership said it might be the tank breather, but the did not repair.*tr
