2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP.I JUST RECEIVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON 2/01/2013. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON MARCH OF 2006. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTS BUT NOTICE THE PROBLEM AND BLAME THE GAS STATION FOR THEIR PUMP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF PROBLEM BECAUSE OF GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF A TANK TO SPILL ALL OVER ME (LOSS OF CLOTHES,SHOES AND RASH ON MY ARM, HAND,FOOT AND LEGS).NOW MY CAR WHERE THE FUEL TANKS IS LOCATED CAUSED THE PAINT TO RUST ($600 TO FIX) AND MY BUMPER TO DISCOLORED AND BECAUSE I ROTATE MY TIRES MOST OF MY LOG NUTS($200) HAS TO BE REPLACED.I CANNOT QUANTIFY HOW MUCH GASOLINE I LOSS DURING THAT PERIOD.I HAVE CALLED THEM REGARDING COMPENSATION FOR THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY DID BUT NOT COMPENSATE ME. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL THE PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IT IS FULL AND THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS INSIDE OF THE GAS STATION WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT SHOT OUT EVERYWHERE AND SOAKED A 3-4 FOOT RADIUS FROM THE GAS TANK. THIS LAST TIME I FILLED UP IT SPRAYED A FINE MIST EVERYWHERE AND IT SPILLED ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK A LOT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF TOP OF FILLER NECK AND SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT SPRAYS OUT A FEW FEET AWAY AND CAN GET ALL OVER YOU. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED UP. *TR THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT ONE FOR THE 2006 MODEL.

EACH TIME I FUEL, ONCE THE TANK IS FULL, IT SPEWS/GURGLES A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY KIND OF PUMP, AND IT HAPPENS WHETHER I USE THE AUTO SHUT OFF OR IF I CONTROL THE FLOW AND SLOW IT TO A TRICKLE. IT STILL HAPPENS ONCE THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL. EACH TIME I FUEL, I SPILL AT LEAST 1-3 QUARTS OF FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIORNMENT, A WASTE OF MY MONEY, AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW AND OLD VEHICLES, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE, HAVE I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM FUELING MY CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FROM DODGE, BECAUSE THEY RECALLED THE 2005 DURANGO FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. SO WHY FIX THE 2005'S AND NOT THE 2006???? *TR

AFTER GAS PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS CAME OUT OF THE FILLER PORT SOAKING ME. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FUEL SPLASHES AND POURS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE VEHICLE. THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE THAT IS EXPOSED TO THE FUEL HAS BEGUN TO BUBBLE AND RUST. *TR IF THE INCONVENIENCE AND HAZARD OF THE SPILL ISN'T ENOUGH THE LOSS OF FUEL AT TODAY'S HIGH PRICES IS AN INJUSTICE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE HELP US! WE PAID A LOT FOR OUR VEHICLE AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP! DODGE SHOULD CARE MORE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS! *TR

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, THE DODGE DURANGO SPITS GASOLINE OUT AND SPILLS IT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ANYONE WHO HAPPENS TO BE NEAR THE PUMP. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE AND HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. DRENCHING A MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR IN GASOLINE EVERY TIME THEY FILL THE GAS TANK IS CAUSTIC TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND DANGEROUS TO THOSE BREATHING THE FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME THAT I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM UNTIL THE VEHICLE HIT 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO FILL THE TANK UP. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT I PUT INTO THE TANK. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY A QUART OR MORE OF GAS THAT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF REMEDIATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITING GASOLINE EMISSIONS, SO I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT GASOLINE SPRAYING ALL OVER THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AS WELL AS OVER THE GROUND IS A HAZARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEE THAT MORE THAT JUST THE 2005 IS AFFECTED. I THINK THAT THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE TO CHECK EACH DURANGO FROM 2005 UNTIL WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IF ANY ARE AFFECTED, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THOSE THAT ARE A PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS TO CAPACITY FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALL OVER THE CAR, THE GROUND AND ME. OBVIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

DURING REFUELING THE PUMP HANDLE WILL CLICK OFF THEN A SECOND LATER A RUSH OF GASOLINE WILL SPEW OUT OF THE FILL INLET. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL. *TR
