WHEN FUELING MY DURANGO, THE GAS PUMP WILL KICK OFF BUT A SHORT TIME LATER GAS WILL SPILL/SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS GAS PUMPS AND PUMP RATES ALL RESULTING IN THE SAME ACTIONS, USUALLY A GAS SOAKED SLEEVE, GAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. IT IS TO THE POINT MY WIFE IS SCARED TO FUEL OUR DURANGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND …
FAILED CHECK VALVE IN FUEL TANK ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO CAUSED FUEL TO OVERFLOW AND SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN FULL. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL IN THE VICINITY, INCLUDING THE SERVICE STATION IF IGNITED BY A ACCIDENTAL SOURCE. *TR
2007 DODGE DURANGO OVERFLOWS FUEL WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN DOING IT EACH TIME IT IS FILLED UP WITH FUEL, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. THE SPILLED FUEL ON THE GROUND PRESENTS FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS. *TR
MY DURANGO IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR. I HAVE THE FUEL SPEWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I AM PUMPING GAS...THE NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF, THEN A GEYSER SHOOTS OUT AND IT'S A LOT! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECALL/FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOW LONG OR HOW MANY VEHICLES IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE ANY ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE. ARE Y…
THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED IN NOVEMBER 2011 WITH 45000 MILES. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 3 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE PUMP AUTO SHUT-OFF CLICKS AND A FEW CUPS OF FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS RECALLED WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT 2007 HAD NOT YET BEEN RECALLED. *TR
MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED OVERFLOWS GASOLINE AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK EACH TIME I ALLOW THE AUTO-SHUTOFF TO FILL THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. THE FUEL SHUTOFF ALWAYS WORKS, BUT A SECOND OR SO LATER, A LARGE SPRAY OF PRESSURIZED FUEL SQUIRTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FROM AROUND THE FUEL NOZZLE. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED, NO MATTER …
WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT THE FILLER TUBE. THIS RESULTS IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK EXTRA GASOLINE IS SPIT OUT OF THE TANK WHICH IS A FIRE ISSUE FOR THE GAS STATION. IF WE ARE FILLING THE GAS TANK, WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. ALSO THE GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY & THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED BUT LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE THE SAME RECALL AS THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE STORAGE TA…
THE FUEL TANK SHUT OFF OR OVERFILL DEVICE THAT PREVENTS OVERFILLING IS FAILING ON ALL DODGE DURANGOS IN OUR FLEET. THIS ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO "BURP" OUT APPROXIMATELY 2 QUARTS OF FUELS WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO HIT THE ADJACENT PUMP. *TR
