When i fill up my gas tank, the gas does not stop flowing when the tank is full. The indicator does not work, therefore gas spills out onto the ground every time i fill up the tank.

Upon first purchasing at a dealership the purchase was as a used vehicle, so no warranty is or was in place. A few months later when filling the tank at a gas station the first incident of propulsion of gasoline forcing out of the tank, first happened. Then a couple of times when trying to start the vehicle the motor would not start. Using an obd to check codes there was no error codes but still ended up clearing it…

The fuel filler valve is failing and allows the fuel to spill out of the gas tank even when the pump shuts off. This is a major safety hazard and should be recalled. It was recalled for 2005 why not 2006?

Everytime i fill up or come close to filling up the gas will come shooting out of the tank. It gets all over me, the vehicle and the ground. It can shoot as far as 4 or 5 feet away from the vehicle. I have stopped putting more than 1/2 a tank at a time in it but it is a huge inconvenience to have to stop for gas so much. *tr

The vehicle, on cold start up exhibited a surging idle, from 500 rpm ranging up to 2000 rpm. The idle finally leveled out and settled down. While driving the vehicle, i noted some surging present while at a steady speed. Once, while sitting at a traffic light while in drive, the vehicle idle jumped up and caused the vehicle to lunge into the intersection. Luckily no cross traffic was present and applying the brakes…

I recently purchased a 2006 durango with some rust bubbles below the gasoline fill up door. On research of this issue i found 372 complaints regarding the fuel/propulsion system - spitting out gasoline when being filled at a gas station out of 553 total complaints via nhtsa. I have only had my vehicle a week and have not yet filled the tank. Now very leery of filling the tank for fear of being covered with gasoline,…

Every time we fuel up the durango, no matter how slow, or even if we allow it to "breathe"... When it gets close to full it shoots out fuel..seriously shoots it out, like 2 feet. We cant fuel it past 1/2 without this happening. Also fuel leaks from somewhere in the fuel fill tube to the tank when ever we fuel at all. I see other durangos have similar complaints for this model year. *tr

When filling up the vehicle with fuel the pumps do not shut off when it is full and the gasoline spills outside of the vehicle, sometimes violently. This happens almost every time i fill the vehicle and is extremely dangerous! Luckily the first time i was inside of the gas station when it happened and it shot out everywhere and soaked a 3-4 foot radius from the gas tank. This last time i filled up it sprayed a fine…

After filling fuel tank a lot of fuel sprays out of top of filler neck and spills down the side of the vehicle. Sometimes it sprays out a few feet away and can get all over you. It happens every time the tank is filled up. *tr there is a recall for this exact problem with the 2005 model but not one for the 2006 model.

Every time i refuel, gas comes squirting out of my tank. There is now lumps and bumps on the body of my car now under the gas tank. I have to keep checking my gas gauge while re fueling so this does not happen. *tr

I was filling my car and once it was filled the gas forcefully came back out of the tank and covered my coat pants and shoes. I am so angry, this has happened on other time that i completely filled my tank. The gas should not be coming back out of the tank. # 1 - i am now covered in gas, this is a huge safety issue, # gas is all over the side of my vehicle, huge safety issue, #3 gas is all over the ground at the…

I bought my dodge durango used in 2010 and everytime i fill my gas tank up and the gas pump shuts off from a full tank, the gas comes gushing out of the fuel neck. There has been recalls on previous years but none on 2006. Doesn't make any sense. There are multiple people filing complaints but no recalls? This causes damage to paint, clothes, people standing in the way without the knowledge it happens. Does it take…

I have owned this vehicle one week, filled the fuel tank twice and had the same issue on both fill ups. When the fuel tank is full and backs up to the nozzle to shut it off, the fuel does not shut off and sprays at least 2 pints of fuel on the vehicle and the nozzle and myself. This has happened at two different fuel stations. *tr

Like every one of this type vehicle from chrysler every time you fuel up it shuts the pump off then spews a couple cups of gas back out onto who ever is there or onto the ground. I know you know about this and have done absolutely nothing about it. Why. You recalled a few in 2005 and in research on line you can see nothing good happened. It is time to fix it now. *tr

Every time that i attempt to fill the gas tank, gasoline sprays out of the tank all over me. This was never a problem until the vehicle hit 60,000 miles. The problem started a few months ago and happens every time that i try to fill the tank up. The only solution is to limit the amount of gasoline that i put into the tank. There is approximately a quart or more of gas that sprays everywhere. I am going to contact…

Refueling the gas pump shuts off and then a large amount of gas sprays out the tank all over the gas pump handle, and down the car. About 2 cups of gas spew out almost every time we fill up - even if pumping slowly. This is a new problem (had the car since new in 2006) and just started last month. This should be recalled or at least fixed as it is very dangerous for my family sitting in the car as i refill, and…

Fill the gas tank and when stopped filling a large amount of gas backflows out of tank onto the ground and person pumping gas! This is a major hazard both for the person and the environment. Took to dodge dealer and they said this has happened a lot and only way to fix is to replace gas tank which is very expensive. Called dodge and they refuse to cooperate saying they never heard of this problem before must be the…
