When I fill my truck with gas it spews out. I have gotten to where I never completely fill my truck. When is someone going to investigate this and issue a recall? I have a feeling that the only way we Dodge owners get this problem fixed is if someone is hurt while trying to fill their truck. All it would take is one spark when the gas spills out. Please, force Dodge to fix this issue before we hear on the news that someone is injured.

Every time when filling the fuel tank to full, by hand or automatic shutoff, the gasoline sprays out and overflows onto the car, fuel nozzle, and ground when full. This occurs regardless of the speed of filling the tank.
I have filled up my vehicle on multiple occasions since I have purchased this vehicle used. Every time I fill it up the gas tank bubbles and is shoots a decent amount of gas out of the tank onto the ground and down the side of my car. This causes my car to smell like gasoline and leaves a puddle of approx 1 cup of gas on the ground. At first I thought it was a particular gas stations nozzle, but after going to multiple different stations, I have encountered the same problem. I have not contacted Dodge about this problem, but I will be soon. I know there currently is no recall for this, but there should be, this is an extreme safety hazard to have gas flying out of the gas tank.

During fueling operations the vehicles fuel tank was almost full which triggered the fuel pump to shut off, and then immediately fuel began rushing out of the fueling nozzle of the vehicle getting on the side of the vehicle, my hand, foot and the ground. This has happened more than 60 times since owning the vehicle in 2006, and now happens every time I fill the tank to full. There was a similar problem with the 2005 Durango that justified a recall, and the same problem exists with the 2006, although there has been no recall. I hope that it doesn't take a major incident, fire or death before Chrysler takes this seriously and does the right tyhing by repairing the bad valve in these tanks.

While re-fueling the vehicle after the pump auto shut off clicks off about a second or two later fuel comes spewing out under pressure, spilling fuel all over the quarter panel and bumper, and onto the ground, spilling approximately a gallon or so. It appears there are several issues on this from searching online, I just purchased this vehicle used about 3 months ago.
Gas no longer automatically shuts off. Gas spills out everytime I refuel. I have to guess when I should stop the fueling but sometimes I miscalculated and it all over my shoes and the ground. Fire hazard in the wait.

When filling gas tank after nozzle clicks off within second a gush of fuel shoots out of tank. We are only owner of vehicle and this has happened for years. We had fuel tank replaced once and it continues to happen and is getting really bad again. Today so much fuel shot out that if someone was standing there it would of soaked them.

Dear NHTSA, your website lists some 300 or more complaints regarding this vehicle and problem described below. Please move to force a solution from Chrysler before tragedy strikes! 2005 Durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem and it obviously continued in the 2006 models. Thanks. My 2006 Dodge Durango limited began having issues with the fuel tank over a year ago. Every time I fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. And the serb. I called Chrysler about the issue but they (Chrysler) said they were choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.
