2006 Dodge Durango owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Dodge durango .the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling. This allows fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. A technician from the dealer stated that his model year was excluded from recall campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap); therefore, he was not eligible for a free remedy. The failure mileage was 54000. The current mileage was 59004. Updated 01/29/10 *bf updated 01/29/10.*jb

The fuel tank on my Dodge durango spews gas out onto the vehicle and pavement at the end of filling up the gas tank. This began occurring about 3 months ago and happens every time I fill up. This is an extremely dangerous situation. The gas could ignite, plus it is an environmental hazard. My local Dodge dealership (roger williams Dodge) is refusing to pay for the repair. After researching this problem, I find this is a widespread issue with durangos. I should not have to pay for something that is obviously a factory defect. I want the gas tank replaced immediately on my vehicle. *tr

I have a 5.7 hemi and the problem just started with fuel splashing out after a fill up, pump clicks off, remove the fuel nozzle and out of the vehicle fuel fill gas shoots out and all over. Maybe a pint or quart of gas, hard to measure when it's all over you, the ground and car..... I also called my Dodge dealer and my VIN was not part of the recall. *kb

2006 Dodge durango overflows fuel when filling to full status. I currently stop filling vehicle to avoid the spill of fuel and not getting all over my clothing. This happens on every occurrence when filling vehicle. *tr

When I fill up my gas tank, the gas does not shut off, but overflows spewing gasoline out all over the place. The last two times I filled up, there was just a small amount which overflowed. Today I was doused with gasoline from my waist to my ankles. *tr

My 2006 Dodge durango slt over fills every time it is filled up. Gas will shoot out 12-15 inches in all directions sometimes. This started happening at around 60 thousand miles. *tr

There is a known issue of fuel overflow with 2nd generation Dodge durango that Dodge refuses to issue a safety recall to fix. At the conclusion of refueling approximately 0.25 gal will gurgle to forcefully eject itself from the fuel filler neck of the durango. Spilling fuel every fill up is a personal safety and environmental pollution concern which needs to be addressed.

Around august 10, 2011, as I was getting fuel it sprayed fuel everywhere after the nozzle had stopped. I have even tried to slow the rate of fuel and that does not matter. Every time I fill up the tank, it sprays everywhere. I tried different gas stations and still no luck. This poses a safety hazard as all of the fuel spilled on the vehicle, the ground, and on my clothes. *tr

For the last 3 months, every time I fill up my gas tank, when I remove the nozzle from the tank gasoline overflows on the side of my vehicle and the ground. At first, I thought it must be a problem with the pump at the gas station, but I reported it to my dealer during my last oil change, and he said my gank tank needed to be replaced. *tr

Every time I fill up, once the gas pump clicks off, gas spews from the fuel fill area. *js

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

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 dangerous in many other ways! *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

Exhaust started ticking and upon investigating found 2 rear manifold bolts broken off allowing exhaust fumes to leak into engine compartment. Talked to Dodge dealer and found it is a very common problem and very expensive to repair. *kb

My dash panel lights do not work. There was a recall on other models of my year but my VIN was included. This needs to bee looked at.
