I purchased this 2006 durango used in 2012.from day 1, it has spewed fuel out when filling up. I have been soaked on a few occasions, and have had fuel sprayed in my eyes. I have seen prior years being recalled for the same reason, but not this model year. Please do something about this. *tr

Every time the car is refueled gas spills from the tank. It shoots to the rear of the vehicle and gets on my hands, legs, shoes, side of car and ground. I have contacted dodge and they will not do anything about the issue. This effects the environment, myself, my family and anyone else who has to come in contact with the gas that is left all over my car, myself and the ground. *tr

Every time at fill up when fueling the vehicle, when the gas pump clicks off fuel shoots/spills out of gas tank opening. Doing research on line i've discovered many other dodge durango's with the exact same problem. There has been a tsb # 14-001-12 and nhtsa ref. # 10043594 about the problem and durangos with certain vin#s have been fixed with this tsb. I thought all 2006 durangos would be fixed with this tech.…

I bought my durango "used" from the dealership and the first time i filled the tank up, gas went everywhere. I thought it was the gas station but the time after that, when i filled up- i did it slowly and it still overfilled and spilled everywhere. Now, i can't fill my tank full as i am afraid of a fire and also don't like wasting money on expensive gas that isn't going into my tank so i only fill it about half full…

Fuel spews out of the fuel filler tube after the automatic fuel shutoff stops fuel flow into the tank. There is a one or two second lag before the fuel spews out after shutoff. Fuel spills onto the car, the ground and the person filling the tank if they happen to be removing the pump nozzle at that moment. The problem has persisted with each successive fillup since the initial incident. *tr

Own durango built jan 2006, gas is put in it, click off nozzle, gas comes back out forcefully over the vehicle, ground and myself. It is terrifying and dangerous. There is a recall for this on the 2005. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. I barely drive it because i am so terrified to put gas in it. I tried to email dodge and the email does not go through. I called on the recall and they told me it is for the…

Every time i fill up my gas tank since purchasing this vehicle last year my fuel tank sprays out gas after the gas pump shuts off. Even if i don't use the gas pump auto shutoff while filling as soon as the tank is full it sprays gas out and also pours down the side of my vehicle onto the ground. I always need to take windshield washer fluid and wash off my vehicle and pour it onto the ground so there is not a puddle…

Every time this vehicle is filled to full it spews gas out of the tank at the pump operator resulting in gas on the person fueling vehicle. We have tried several service stations this is not a pump issue the issue is with the vehicle. We have spoken to several station attendants this is a known issue to them. I believe this needs to be addressed before someone is seriously burned by a spark. *tr

Since july of 2011 and every gas station stop since then my wife and i avoid filling up our tank, as this vehicle does not stop flow of gas at any pump when it reaches full. Instead it gurgles up and spray fuel back at the person filling tank (me usually), down side of vehicle and of course all over the ground. After reviewing other reports, it is apparent there are major and consistent issues of this type for the…

I purchased this vehicle for my mother. I filled the tank with gas on several occasions- when the tank is full gas flies out of the tank. My mother has known of this problem, however, i have not. I was trying to be nice & fill the tank for her. I heard the click on the nozzle as i stood leaning against the vehicle & when i pulled the nozzle out gas flew all over my arm & atleast a foot in the air. Outrageous! She…

Gas spits out forcefully when fueling, leaving gas all over the floor, along the side of the vehicle, and on my clothes/shoes. It happens every time unless i stop fueling before the tank fills up. Makes it tough to go on long trips because i can never have a full tank of gas. This has continued for over a year. *tr

This vin has a recurring gasoline fuel spit-back problem. First occurrence happened at approximately 45,000 miles + 5 years ownership and continues. Vehicle cannot be fueled to 'full' without approximately 12 ounces of fuel spit-back and overflow onto vehicle body and ground. Extremely hazardous. Not coverage by recall or warranty. *tr

When filling gas tank to capacity, the gas pump shuts off and gas spews from the vehicle out onto the vehicle and ground. I would estimate maybe 1/2 to 1 gallon of gas is involved. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, sherwood, of salisbury, md in 2011 to have problem addressed. Was told that there was no problem to be fixed. Received letter dated 2/1/2013 from chrysler group llc stating that the warranty on the…

Every time i fill my tank, the nozzle doesn't shut off, and gas goes all over me and the ground. Not to mention on the paint of the car,can't be good for the paint. Also it is not good for the environment at a gallon a week on the ground. The 2005 model was recalled for this very same reason, seems reasonable to recall the 2006. This is a very dangerous issue where a spark could end up causing an explosion. *tr

When filling the gas tank the fuel splashes and pours out all over me and the vehicle. The paint on the vehicle that is exposed to the fuel has begun to bubble and rust. *tr if the inconvenience and hazard of the spill isn't enough the loss of fuel at today's high prices is an injustice that needs to be addressed. Please help us! We paid a lot for our vehicle and now it looks like crap! Dodge should care more about…

The gas tank sprays a large amount of gasoline back out of the tank every time it is filled. This is a flammable and environmental hazard. It is the same symptom as in the 2005 dodge durango recall, yet the '06s are not included. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, yet dodge will not correct this, and it is a costly repair to the consumer. *tt

Safety and environmental hazard. When fueling the vehicle and the fuel nozzle stops filling, a large amount of gasoline forcefully spews from the tank filler neck. Spraying on the person fueling, spilling fuel on the ground, and on the vehicle. At first it was annoying. Now i feel it has become a safety hazard and also an environmental hazard. I am not describing a small burp of gasoline, but a large amount, at…
