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 TH…
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.

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. HTTP://DODGEFORUM.COM…
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
