Hil adding gas, the fuel overflow does not shut off when full. Gas spills out of the tube and runs down the side of the Durango and onto the ground. There is considerable rusting under the fill tube. I purchased thsi vehicle 4 years ago and it has always done this. The rust area had been repaired prior to me purchasing so I am assuming this has happened before my ownership as well.

My car has a very bad hesitation upon acceleration and shutters when the pedal is to the floor. The code I'm getting is a dealer part only and I've found that 4 out of five Dodge Durango or Chrysler aspen have had this issue. This has been a very expensive trial and error process. My sister who owns a 2008 aspen just replaced the same part I need to replace for almost 1,000 dollars and that's not the only time I've heard of this common issue with the solenoids from this hemi engine. It's not allows all cylinders to work because this faulty part is malfunctioning. Please recall this part so I'm sure 75% of the owners can finally have a reliable vehicle and not get stranded like others I'm sure that have had this issue.

The fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve is not fully closing at the end of refueling. This allows some fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. Consequencesfuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. When refueling at a gas station

I can not put gas in the tank. The fuel neck was replaced twice because of the recall. That is not my problem. Very little gas goes in when you engage the fuel pump at the gas station maybe 10 or 12 ounces the the pump clicks off and stops filling. I try it again then slowly put gas in and the fill neck gets full because the tank will not let the gas in and it spits out the fill opening and on the car and ground. I was at costco and the attendant saw my problem and said I had to leave until I get the issue fixed. I was endangering others. I took it to doge were I have my work done and the two fill necks replaced and they said the tank is bad. It needs replaced. At the tune of $1200 plus cost. More people than me have experienced this problem and I can not drive the car without gas. I had another mechanic check it out and said inside of the plastic tank that has a liner in it is coming apart inside which you can not repair caused from the ethonal content in gas has caused this issue. The liner is causing the flap inside the opening of the gas tank that the fuel inlet is attached to not to open and allow fuel to go in the tank. The car is too old to have to put this kind of cash in it when it is apearant that it is a defect in the tank which from on line says it is made in china. Again a bad combination china really!!!. I have already put a few thousand in it for transmission dip stick rust off in the check tube, oil leaks, trans slipping, rear end leaking break calipers, and the list goes on. I have Dodge's since 2000 and Dodge has me as a second class citizen. I had 2000 intrepid 2 Dodge Grand Caravan and the Durango. Help please.

This incident has occured twice on me since purchase of a used 2006 Durango. On 11/20/16 I stop at gas station to fill the Durango up with gas. I place the nozzel into gas tank select my grade of gas & put nozzle into auto fill. Upon tank becoming full of gas the gas nozzel shut off & afterwards gas began to spewed out of tank, sometime with high pressure & sometimes in low pressure spray. Gas continued to flow out of tank for about 6 seconds onto the ground. Vehical was stationary at the fuel pump.

I am experiencing a problem with the engine cutting off in full drive situations, all of sudden my check engine light pops up and that's my pre warning that my truck is getting ready to turn off. It is hesitant sometimes and waits till I am complete stop or sometimes it totally shuts down while driving in traffic. Very scary.

The fuel tank check valve has completely failed just like thousands of other Durangos. There is significant (12-16 ounces) gas blowback when the fuel reaches a near full level during refueling. I have tried stopping the pump several times to allow the fuel to settle, different brands of gas and different filler handle positions. The only thing that can prevent this is not filling the tank more than 3/4 full.

I am having fuel fillig problems with the gas overflowing when I fill it its been about 43 years I did not know who to tell until now but online research point S a possible answer which is "the fuel overflow problem is caused by the fuel tank filler check valve" it also consume a lot of gas just going down the street.

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.

When filling with fuel to full capacity, it spews fuel out on my clothes and shoes and down the side of the Durango. It does not matter what fuel station I go to, it does the same thing.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Durango. Whenever the contact refueled the vehicle to its full capacity, fuel would spew out onto the ground and the contact's clothing. In addition, the engine warning indicator illuminated continuously when the vehicle was operable. The contact replaced the fuel cap; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

When refueling the vehicle, fuel will spew from the filler inlet when the gas pump stops filling. I understand this was a recall on the 2005 model. Dodge will not address this, stating that my vehicle is out of warranty.

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.

The gasoline spews out at you before the gas tank is full. So if you are unaware, not paying attention, or just completely forget you end up in a bath of gasoline. So now possibly your shoes clothes and hands have gas on them. Hopefully you don't plan on lighting a cigarette afterward. (I don't smoke) but I do care not to wear gasoline or have to breathe the fumes in my really nice mopar. Super problematic for the owners afflicted with this problem I hope Chrysler does the right thing and recalls the affected vehicles.
