    On february 16, 2009 i was filling the fuel tank on my 2006 dodge durango. I had the dispenser handle depressed, by hand, to fill the tank; the fuel nozzle did not have a catch to keep the handle depressed. The automatic fuel cutoff on the dispenser functioned and stopped the flow of fuel once the tank was full. Within a second or two fuel came gushing out of the tank, spilling onto the side of the vehicle and onto…

    Fuel tank overflow i have a 2006 dodge durango that i absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 2 months has developed a problem. Every time i fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense in waste of extra gas i need to pay for. But, i have gas dripping down the side of my truck and in between my…

    When fueling my vehicle, the fuel overflows at the end of the fill-up spitting approximately 1 pint of gas each time. The condition occurs when the tank is shown as empty or partially empty (i.e. 1/2 tank). In addition, the issue occurs whether i manually hold the gas pump lever or place the pump lever on its automatic latch. The problem has become consistent over the past 2-3 months while it only occurred a few…

    Starting about 6 weeks ago, everytime we fillup the tank it overflows at the end of the process. The overflow spews gasoline all over the side of the car and on the pavement creating a safety and environmental hazard. In some cases, either my wife or i received splash impact on our hands and clothes. *tr

    Drive to any gas station, with gas gauge on anywhere from empty to a quarter full. Insert gas pump nozzle into vehicle with normal care. Start to pump gas. Activate the "no hands" lever. When the tank is full, the pump automatically stops. A few seconds later, a significant amount of gas burps back out of the vehicle. Enough fuel is spilled to wash all down the side of the vehicle and splash onto the operator. An…

    I bought my durango over a year and a half ago. This was in the spring when winter rolled around and cooler months all fuel pumps would over fill the fuel tank. Problem went away in the spring then this fall/winter the problem came back again. It acts as if the fuel vapor recovery system is becoming restricted with the cooler temperatures. Causing fuel to be burped out after the pump shuts off. *tr

    When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel spews out at the end. This started ~6 months ago, and now happens every time the tank is filled. It has happened at a number of different gas stations / pumps. This appears to be the same issue as described in a 2005 durango recall, however 2006 vehicles are not covered in the recall. All equipment is original (no parts replaced). *tr

    When my fuel tank is empty and i refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank. This has been happening for about 7 weeks. Also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off. This happens sporadically and dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated…
