    Dodge durango 2006: fuel filler neck problem. When filling the car, fuel can spurt out of the filler neck including spraying on the person filling the tank. Dodge has the identical problem on 2005 cars and issued a recall to replace filler neck and gas tank, but no such recall on other year cars. *tr

    When filling the gas tank on our 2006 dodge durango, once the tank is full, gas will shoot out of the tank for a couple seconds unless the pump is manually stopped prior to filling the tank. This happens on almost every fill up. *tr

    When filling up my 06 durango it always overflows when trying to fill the tank. The automatic shutoff on the gas pump will shut off then seconds later gas shoots out the fill tube. This is very unsafe and could cause explosion and hurt many, many people. *tr

    Beginning about a year and a half ago, my 2006 dodge durango slt began spewing gasoline everytime i filled my car at the gas station. It continues to do this since that time and even though dodge has issued a technical service bulletin for this problem, since my car's vin is not listed as eligible for the extended warranty and repair i am out of luck. I filed an appeal with dodge and it seems the criteria for…

    I own a 2006 dodge durango that i purchased new. After reaching 60,000 miles, the fuel system began overfilling and spilling out on the ground. At first it was only occasionally but now it does it every time i refuel. When the pump shuts off, a strong burst of gasoline sprays out of the tank. I have read online that many other people have this same problem. There should be a recall on this defective fuel system.

    2006 dodge durango - every time i fill up the gas tank to full, after it kicks off, gas spews out of the tank and goes all over the place. It sprays all over the side of the car and on to whoever is filling up the tank. This is very unsafe as gas has sprayed on to my face and mouth. I have seen dodge has had this problem with earlier years and has rectified the problem, but they won't acknowledge for 2006 models. I…

    Purchased a used 2006 dodge durango on june 9, 2010. Mileage was 50633. For the past 3 months during every fill-up, at various gas stations, fuel pump nozzle will click off when tank is full and then a few seconds later gasoline will forcibly flow from the tank spilling about a quart of fuel on the side of vehicle and on the cement. The only thing we have done to correct the failure is to partially fill the gas…

    I have a 2006 dodge durango that every time i fill up at the gas station, when the tank gets full, the nozzle clicks and a rush of gas spills out. The dodge dealer says it's not covered under a recall covering the same problem on other vehicles. I see there is a recall for 2005 durango's but not 2006's. I have investigated this complaint on the internet and find many 2006 durango owners having the same problem. I am…

    2006 dodge durango spews gas from filler tube whenever we fill it. Dealer diagnosed problem as a flap valve in gas tank, and said the tank should be replaced (approx. $600). At her suggestion we reported problem to dodge. They talked directly to service manager and authorized the repair, minus a $100 deductible. Vehicle was out of warranty, and we had no extended warranty. Dealer said this was a known problem that…

    When filling up my 06 durango it always overflows when trying to fill the tank. It happens all the time and at different stations. The tank will fill up and the pump will cut off and then there is a back flow and gas pours out all over the car and the ground. A lot comes out and is dangerous. *tr

    2006 dodge durango. Consistently, upon finishing filling the fuel tank, up to a quart of fuel will spill out of the fuel filler neck. This poses a potential fire hazard. The issue appears to be similar to the supposedly corrected issue affecting certain 2005 durangos. *tr

    Just purchased a 2006 durango and filled with gas. Gas sprayed all over the vehicle and ground. Online postings shows this to be common but that only 2005 models were recalled, though the exact same problem. As a vehicle owner with a young family this concerns me.

Every time i fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. May 2011 a service shop found that a solenoid had failed and replaced it. They also found that the surge canister was holding gasoline, as it likely is filled when the tank spews gas back out.…
