STARTING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK A LARGE VOLUME OF GAS WOULD SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AS THE TANK APPEARED TO BE APPROACHING FULL. IN ADDITION, THE "GASCAP" LIGHT WOULD CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN UNBELIEVABLE FIRE HAZARD WITH THIS SITUATION. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE EVENTS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DODGE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO WORK WITH ME ON THE EXPENSE BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM EXISTING ON SO MANY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE COST ESTIMATE IS $854.45 APPARENTLY DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX IT. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO - EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT. DEALER SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL REGARDING THIS, BUT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD STORIES OF OTHER OWNERS GETTING THIS REPLACED BY REPORTING IT THROUGH NHTSA. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY HUSBAND WAS FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ONCE THE TANK WAS FULL, THE FUEL BEGAN TO SPEW OUT OF THE TANK. GAS LEAKED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THEN JUST YESTERDAY, I FAILED TO REMEMBER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FUEL TANK AND FILLED IT AGAIN. JUST AS I WALKED TOWARD THE VEHICLE, THE GAS METER STOPPED AND THERE WAS A CLICK AND GAS SPEWED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE PERSON TOOK MY CLAIM AND SOMEONE THAT DID NOT GIVE ME HIS NAME CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT INSPECT OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED ON 1/13/2010 AT CARMAX, WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR
