My Durango also spews fuel out the fuel filler neck if you try to put the gas pump on auto fill. It's really annoying and embarrassing the first couple of times it happened. My dealer Des Moines Chrysler told me my vehicle did not fall within the VIN range for the recall. Funny that it exhibits the very condition that the recall was to fix. You'd think if Chrysler were such cheap bastards that they wouldn't have had to file for bankruptcy. You don't build customer loyalty by screwing people!

Durango 4.7L V8

I purchased this truck in August 2008 and had problems with fuel spewing out the fill neck when the tank was full. At first I thought it might have been the gas pump, but wherever I went the same thing occurred. I found on your web site that there was a problem with the 2005 Dodge Durango and that there was a recall in effect. I took my Durango to the dealership and they told me that my Vehicle identification number was not listed on the production list for the Durangos under the recall. They said that they could test it for $110.00 to show there was a problem. I guess my word wasn't good enough. They called me back and said they could fix it for $630.00 since my car wasn't on the recall list.
My next step was calling Chrysler to see what my options were to get this fixed. I already spent $110.00 for the test proving there was a problem on a car that they said has problems with fuel spilling out the fill neck. After being passed around, Chrysler decided that if I would fork out another $235.00 that they would pick up the rest of the costs.
Chrysler posted a recall on 2005 Durangos and when I take my 2005 Durango in, they wont repair my truck.
I originally purchased my Durango at Carmax and purchased the extended warranty through them so I have an appointment to see if they will fix it. The only problem is that this is another $50.00 out of my pocket for the deductible.

Durango Limited 4.7L V8

In February 2008, my gas tank started overflowing. At first I thought it was the pump and then quickly realized that it was the gas tank. The pump would not cut off when pumping either manually or automatically. I was always afraid that I was going to blow up at the gas station! I took it in for service and they replaced the gas tank...said it was defective. OK..so now the pump cuts off when I try to pump gas in the car! If I pump reaaaal slow then it won't cut off. It took 20 minutes to pump 16 gallons of gas the other day. It's going back in the shop for service!

After emailing Dodge Corp. about my gas overflow problem, they said it was not covered under a current recall. I then emailed NHST with my problem. A NHST rep called me requesting more info and what Dodge had told me. Well, within 10 days, a Dodge rep called me and apologized for the inconvenience and had me set an appointment with my local Dodge dealer for a FREE fix !!!! It does pay to complain! Now my problem is fixed and I'm one happy camper!

Every time I fill up at the gas station, when the tank gets full, the nozzle clicks and a rush of gas spills out. The Dodge dealer says it's not covered under a recall covering the same problem on other vehicles. I emailed dodge to see what they say.

Durango SLT 5.7L V8
I have been experiencing gas spewing out of my vehicle now for sometime. I have a 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7L V8. Each and every time I bring it in to have it looked at -at the dealers, they claim "they can not duplicate the problem".....FUNNY THEY ARENT FILLING IT UP and letting it splash all over them!! Because I get it back with the problem still in tow-the tank on E, the we can not duplicate the problem excuse and today I was just told its the "vent valve and not the inlet or intake valve so its not covered under the extended warranty"......NICE!
Well, I am NOT going to take this lying down DODGE....so if it takes me contacting the NHST, then so be it, rest assured if this is how Dodge treats their customers-I will take my business elsewhere. This is not the first time I have had this truck in for the same problem and when I bring it in thinking it will be repaired for the recall, what happens 10 minutes after picking it up?? Getting dowsed in gasoline at the pump after again trying to fill up!!
