Every time filling full of gas, once full it SPRAYS gas into the air for 2 to 3 seconds. It's evident this is a manufacturing defect as multiple self reported incidents can be found online throught the years. This is vreating a significant fire risk as other vehicles can be pulling up near by. Date provided isn't accurate as this is constant if we let it fill

Fuel erupts from fuel filler neck EVERY TIME the fuel tank is filled, even when filling very slowly. A half-gallon or more of fuel ends up violently spitting out of the filler neck onto people in the vicinity, onto the side of the car, and onto the ground-€"every time the vehicle is refueled. Many owners apparently have the exact same issue, judging by the large number of complaints on Durango and Dodge forums. Apparently, there was a recall covering model-year 2005 Durangos for this issue, but the issue is present on our 2006 Durango. This is a clear safety defect that could easily create an extremely dangerous situation.

TIPM / PCM (Computer modules) these items are affecting most Dodge vehicles that is listed already for recalls only in 2011-2013 and one earlier. This is happening in a lot of Dodges, mine is 1D4HB48N76F[XXX] (2006 Durango 4.7 SLT). They will stop running anywhere, it shuts the fuel pump off where the vehicles no longer gets gas and you have a full tank. It is only a computerized Dealer fix. Their recall for some vehicles will fix my 2006 also by the simply relay bypass that they are installing.

The gas tank overfills when filling the tank. When I fill the tank at the gas station the pump will not shut off until after the tank overflows onto the vehicle and the ground.

When fueling the vehicle the pump shuts off then fuel spews out. This happens every time it is fueled. The vehicle is stationary. This is a fire hazzard as well as a pollution problem. It's my understanding the 2005 model was recalled for this problem. I recently purchased this vehicle used with 195000 miles. I also see where several other people are having this same issue on your website.

There was indeed a recall for the 2005 and 2006 model years of my vehicle from Chrysler for a fuel safety issue of massive amounts of fuel spilling out of the tank during fuel ups. They acknowledge, the recall was cut off exactly one day prior to this particular vehicle's manufacturing date. The part identified was a fault with the fuel inlet check valve. Dodge identified the only recourse for this vehicle is to petition the NHTSA and hope they recall it to replace it by Dodge, or pay for a repair myself out of pocket for a known and acknowledged defect. This is a major safety hazard with the vehicle and I am noticing the same issue on all Dodge Durangos I observe on the road now, with rusty quarter panels due to fuel spill and saturation issues in the same spot.

During fuel up it over spills out a lot of fuel each time at the gas station. I see there were recalls for the prior years of the same vehicle. This problem has identical symptoms.
