Anytime we fill the Durango and gas comes back out when the nozzle is removed. There is so much gas that comes out that we have to clean it up from the ground and it has caused bubbles in the paint which have resulted in surface rust. Dealer that we purchased from checked the vehicle and told us there was a clogged filter. We got the filters replaced and when my husband filled it up today 6/26/2012 he said at least 1/2 gallon of gas came back out of the car. This is a dangerous issue because it is leaving gas all on the ground. The only way we can keep the gas from coming out is to remove the nozzle after every single gallon. The fuel sensor inside the car will even register full at 16 gallons of gas when the tank is 26 gallons. We are wasting all kinds of money from the gas coming up, cost of repairing the paint and removing rust and the money we spent on replacing filters that have made this issue worse. This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed. It was fixed in 2005 vehicles but nothing for 2006 and higher even though the problem has not been fixed. Some Dodge dealerships are even calling owners liars saying they have never heard of any issue like this or any recalls ever for this type of issue. Someone needs to make Dodge responsible for fixing this issue. The gas that spills is going to end up causing a fire and killing people one of these days.
Gasoline spits back from the gas tank every time that the vehicle is filled up. The check value is defective and could easily start a fire during the fill-up because it does not properly shut off. I can not completely fill up my gas tank without the danger of spraying gasoline everywhere at the gas station. A tsb was issued, but it does not cover my VIN.
When the gas tank reaches full or nearly full the fuel "burps" out spilling a significant amount of fuel to the side of the vehicle and on the ground. This is nearly 100% of the time. This may be caused by the fuel tank inlet check valve not closing properly this creates a risk of fire and is likely the same issue as the 2005 Durango that has a recall for this reason.
