The dodge refuelling issue seems to be common - you cant put the nozzle in and fuel like other cars as it will click almost immediately
Its a known issue because fuel attendants that do the filling for you know about it and change accordingly but for them its also a pain as you have to stand with the fuel nozzle upside down until the fuelling is completed.. never had this issue with any other car before, its almost like Dodge needs to amend the funnel on their car
But like the racelight track on the back they cant be bothered....
I began having difficulty fueling a few months after I got the Durango. Overall, I am so so happy with the car but every now and then when fueling I have issues with the pump clicking off repeatedly.
At first, I thought that the gas station was low on gas and that there was a high content of vapor to gas causing the shut-off, but now I'm not so sure.
Sometimes I can fix the problem by finding the "sweet spot" with the gas lever and holding it during the whole fill-up. Usually, this means my refuel is very slow and awkward as other people stare at me wondering why I'm doing voodoo on the pump with my cursing, muttering and awkward molesting of the pump handle.
I cannot fill the tank with more than $1 - $2 worth of gas without the pump clicking off. I have tried several gas stations and I have the same problem everywhere. I have to hold the nozzle almost upside down in order to pump gas. I have only had the car 2 months and I am ready to get rid of it solely because of this problem.
