Every time I get gas the pump clicks off as full, then a bunch of gas comes gushing out and gets all over the car/ground/me. It has been happening for several years and it is not only a fire hazard, but also an environmental hazard.

This is definitely a public safety hazard. I bought my used Dodge Durango last October 2014. Every time I fill my gas tank up, the gas pump shuts off from a full tank of gas on my vehicle, then the gas comes gushing back out of the fuel neck of the Durango's gas tank. There has been recalls on previous years but none on 2006. There are multiple people filing complaints but no recalls? this causes damage to the automobile paint, clothes, people and the environment. However, most concerning is the safety hazard of a potential fire or explosion from the overflowed gas and fumes happening around multiple cars, people and gas pumps at gas stations when 2006 Dodge Durango owners fill up their vehicles. This is not a problem caused by any owner. This is a mechanical defect in the Dodge Durango filler tube valve in the gas tanks. Please help to get this problem corrected by the Dodge company.

I bought my Dodge Durango used in 2010 and everytime I fill my gas tank up and the gas pump shuts off from a full tank, the gas comes gushing out of the fuel neck. There has been recalls on previous years but none on 2006. Doesn't make any sense. There are multiple people filing complaints but no recalls" this causes damage to paint, clothes, people standing in the way without the knowledge it happens. Does it take an actual injury or fire before something is done" its ridiculous and something needs to be done!!! I don't have the money to fix it and it is clearly a defect from the factory. Hopefully something is done so Dodge owners can continue to love the cars they bought.

I purchased this 2006 Durango used in 2012.from day 1, it has spewed fuel out when filling up. I have been soaked on a few occasions, and have had fuel sprayed in my eyes. I have seen prior years being recalled for the same reason, but not this model year. Please do something about this.

After buying the vehicle in 2009, it began shutting off when I decelerated for stops or turns. No engine light warning. In 2009, took it to the dealership 4 times. No help. Issues have continued. Took to dealership in 2010 3-4 times for same issue. Seems to shut off more in winter than summer but is very random. In 2011, more exploratory work was completed at dealership. Is there a lemon law? in 2012, I had someone else tinker on it. Still no assistance. The issues are less annoying now and becoming dangerous as it now shuts off at any time, at any speed, in any weather. I've tried new brakes, couple of new batteries, new computer chip, complete visual overall with computer assistance at dealership. Once when check engine light came on, O'reily's computer said that the sensor box had moisture in it. Dealership found no such evidence. All maintenance like oil changes are up-to-date. In 2013 in addition to the shutting off, there is a bumping when the brakes are applied and no one can contribute that issue to anything either! no help. Scared to drive but no $$ get a new one. I feel abandoned with a lemon.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. The contact state that after refueling, the fuel would spew back out without warning. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The mechanic stated that the tank filler had malfunctioned and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in recall NHTSA campaign number: 09V003000 (fuel system, gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Upon first purchasing at a dealership the purchase was as a used vehicle, so no warranty is or was in place. A few months later when filling the tank at a gas station the first incident of propulsion of gasoline forcing out of the tank, first happened. Then a couple of times when trying to start the vehicle the motor would not start. Using an obd to check codes there was no error codes but still ended up clearing it anyways which allowed the vehicle to start (which means its the computer). Now, the front passenger window is down and will not go back up, checked the motor and the motor for the window is fine, but checking the switch it would only unlock door, not allow lock and absolutely no window control at all from either the passenger door switch or driver side switch. When looking at the switches turns out that the circuit boards are not soldered. The only way to get any of the problems fixed for anyone now would be for a recall, because the year being 2014 no warranty will cover any problems that I or anyone else is facing!

Every time I refuel, gas comes squirting out of my tank. There is now lumps and bumps on the body of my car now under the gas tank. I have to keep checking my gas gauge while re fueling so this does not happen.

Literally every singe time I fill the vehicle up, gasoline erupts from the tank, sprays everywhere, probably sprays a full yard away from the vehicle. The fuel spray has rusted out the fender below the fuel door.

1996 Dodge Durango. I have 2006 Dodge Durango limited 5.7 liter hemi - I bought used car salesman it in December 2012. In February of 214 we started having a problem with the engine cutting off while driving after reading several different internet forums I discovered the engine failure with my Dodge Durango was a common problem. Like others I have taken it in to our mechanic's because the check engine light had come on. We always got oil changes and regular maintenance done at our mechanic's because we thought they would know the car best and be able to inform us of any important recalls or possible problems. I asked him about the problem, he in turned told me that he knew about the Dodge Durango engine failure problem. He also said Dodge knows about it, but there has been no recall for this problem. I am afraid that someone is going to get killed on the road because the engine turns off at any time. It is a same that Dodge is pulling the same thing as General Motors has done. Pleaase lets fix this before someone does get killed. So I am here with my 2006 Dodge Durango parked in my drive just waiting for recall. It is getting closer because yesterday they just recalled the 2005,2006,2007 Jeep because Chrysler said on Tuesday that it was recalling an undisclosed number of older Jeep S.U.V.S to correct an ignition-related stalling problem similar to the deadly flaw that has consumed General Motors this year. How also owns Dodge so I know they know about the Dodge problems. At this point my senator richard blumenthal office can not do a thing, because I have not been hurt or killed as of yet. It feels like.

The first time I filled up a newly purchased used Dodge Durango gas exploded out of the filler neck splashing onto my hand and into my face. I had to dash into the restroom and flush gas out of my eyes.

My 2006 Dodge Durango spills gas everytime I fill it completely up. I insert the fuel nozzle from the gas pump put it on half fill and let the fuel flow until it shuts off at the handle about 2 seconds later fuel comes squirting out of the Durangos gas receptacle! it does this everytime you fill the vehicle up, and has done it since 2008. Dodge needs to do a recall and fix this!!!!

The fuel tank overflows at the gas station if filled completely. There is nothing to stop this from happening. I have tried adjusting the way I hold the gasoline nozzle, but nothing seems to make any difference. This is a fire hazard! it is hard to keep if from happening. When it happens, gasoline flies out everywhere, getting all over the vehicle and myself. It is scary. This needs a recall! in addition, the body underneath of the fuel tank has rusted as this has happened numerous times.

The fuel filler valve is failing and allows the fuel to spill out of the gas tank even when the pump shuts off. This is a major safety hazard and should be recalled. It was recalled for 2005 why not 2006?

When filling gas tank to capacity, the gas pump shuts off and gas spews from the vehicle out onto the vehicle and ground. I would estimate maybe 1/2 to 1 gallon of gas is involved. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, sherwood, of salisbury, md in 2011 to have problem addressed. Was told that there was no problem to be fixed. Received letter dated 2/1/2013 from Chrysler group llc stating that the warranty on the fuel tank inlet check valve has been extended to lifetime coverage for my vehicle. It goes on to state that "if you are experiencing this condition now or in the future, to simply contact your dealer to have the repairs performed. Took car to sherwood dealership and was given the run around. Was told in June 2013 that there was a shortage of parts available to fix my vehicle and they would call in a few months to schedule the repair. Called the Chrysler customer care assistance center and reported the incident on 6/4/2013. Decided to file a grievance here with the NHTSA as this is an epa issue and safety issue due to the gasoline spillage. As a result of the gasoline spillage, the paint under the fuel filling area of the vehicle has bubbled and has now rusted in that area. Have requested that this problem also be taken care of as it is a direct result of a malfunction of the vehicle. Have been told that they would make the repair(whenever the parts are available) but, will not take care of the rust issue. Would like to have feedback as to how to get this taken care of. It is absolutely ridiculous that Chrysler acknowledges there is a problem, has sent a letter for instruction on how to address the problem, but has not actually fixed the problem 5 months from the date of the letter!!!!
