    When fueling my vehicle and the pump clicks off, fuel just spews from the tank all over the ground [about a cup of gas each time] which upsets me due to the environmental factor and safety issues. This happens every time over the past year, even at the lowest refuel speed. I noticed many complaints from other 2006 durango owners and that 2005 models have been recalled for the same problem. The my car is a 2006…

    We own a 2006 dodge durango, hemi 8 -cyl engine. We are the first and only owners of the vehicle. When fueling the gas tank, significant quantities of fuel shoot out after the pump has stopped. The person fueling the vehicle gets covered in fuel. Fuel is spilt on ground and on side of vehicle. It makes no difference where you refuel, so it is not station specific. The cabin to the durango fills with fuel vapors and…

    The fuel tank inlet check valve has stuck in the open position. This results in a safety hazard whereby upon filling the gas tank, gas sprays back out of the filler tube on to the person filling the gas. If this occurs in the presence of an ignition source, a significant fire/explosion could occur. The same issue resulted in a recall on 2005 dodge durango vehicles (nhtsa campaign no. 09v-003 (h45). In reference to…

    When filling the fuel tank, a large quantity of fuel sprays the refueler after tank is full and pump has already shut off. It appears as though a high back pressure builds inside the tank and may be contributing to this problem. This happens regardless of filling station and has contributed to clothing and bodily contact with gasoline. *tr

    My 2006 dodge durango just turned 50,000 miles and all of a sudden every time i fill up on gas the gasoline shoots back out at me. It soaks me, the car, the outside of my car and the ground. This is a fire hazard and a waste of money. I have contacted dodge and this car is not in a recall. I understand 2005 models were recalled for same exact problem. This is very worrisome and very scary. *tr

    On four separate occasions, i filled my gas tank and gas came shooting out of the tank once the shutoff valve clicked off. It sprayed all over my clothes, down the side of the car and onto the concrete. At first i thought it was a faulty gas pump, but it happened at four different gas stations. I learned later that i would have to replace the fuel assembly at my own cost. I know i don't feel safe filling up my gas…

Gas spilled on the paint and hands, cloths if your standing there and on the ground cause a possible fire hazard. Took to dealer said it was the gas tank. They replaced it and no more problems. I don't have the old gas tank.$750.00 for the repair. *tr
