Fuel/Propulsion System
2006 dodge durango. Whenever you put fuel in the car, the fuel overflows spilling and spraying out a substantial amount of fuel on the person and the ground. This does this every time when filling up the car. I am the original owner of the car and this creates safety concerns. Dodge issued a recall on 2005 models recall id#78716 for the same issue, but hasn't addressed the issues with any of the 2006 and 2007's. *tr

My 2006 dodge durango spills gas everytime i fill it completely up. I insert the fuel nozzle from the gas pump put it on half fill and let the fuel flow until it shuts off at the handle about 2 seconds later fuel comes squirting out of the durangos gas receptacle! It does this everytime you fill the vehicle up, and has done it since 2008. Dodge needs to do a recall and fix this!!!! *tr

The fuel tank overflows at the gas station if filled completely. There is nothing to stop this from happening. I have tried adjusting the way i hold the gasoline nozzle, but nothing seems to make any difference. This is a fire hazard! It is hard to keep if from happening. When it happens, gasoline flies out everywhere, getting all over the vehicle and myself. It is scary. This needs a recall! In addition, the body…

My 2006 dodge durango shoots gas out of the gas tank when filling up with gas. It has been doing this since 2009 and i just found out yesterday when getting a recall (wipers) fixed that a recall for 2005 had the issue. There is no recall for 2006 dodge durango models. *tr

Whenever i put gas in the tank, it comes back out when it reaches full. It sprays and splashes out onto the vehicle and ground. I avoid this now by filling the tank very slowly for the last couple of gallons and trying to listen for any gas that may be coming back out at me. It still comes out sometimes. Either way, this isn't right. *tr

When refueling fuel shoots out of gas tank. Mechanism doesn't shut off when full. I consider this very dangerous. It originally occurred about 2 months after the mfgr warranty expired and no recall was made with this year model. Very frustrating as well. Occurs while sitting still next to gas pump, engine off.

Everytime myself or my wife fills up the gas tank, it will not shut off without spewing gas all over the place. We have monitored the recalls for this problem and have seen numerous testimonies to include video of the same issue. The statement released that it's because of operator negligence is completely false. It's to the point that we have to hold the handle at a slow fill speed in order to not lose fuel all…

When fuelling at a gas station, gas overflows when the tank is full (when the gas pump clicks off). This happens every time i try to fill the tank. Gas overflows onto side of vehicle and onto pavement at gas station. Fuel spill hazard is extremely dangerous. Gas stations are starting to warn me that i cannot cause a fuel spill. Dodge claims they have not heard of this problem. Recall urgently needed before major…

When ever you try and fill the gas tank, when it get full it blows all over the place. You try and clean if off but it still has ruined the paint and a couple pair of gloves, that smell never comes out of clothes. This all started at or around 40,000 miles and have been dealing with it for 110,000 miles now.

The fuel tank spits out about a quart of gas when refilling tank. This has happened every time i have refilled since i bought the vehicle in march 2006. I have resorted to filling only 3/4 full for the last few years since my dealer will not fix the problem. I have addressed the problem to the lyndsey chrysler dodge dealer in st roberts, mo several times but no recalls have been issued for the 2006 durango. *tr
