2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOW FAILS TO SHUT OFF BEFORE GAS SPILLS OR SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE POURED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 73,000.

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND OR TWO LATER, ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED TO FILL IT UP ON THE LOWEST SETTING AND I'VE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK SOME SO THE (HARMFUL) VAPORS CAN ESCAPE. IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND, MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE POSTING MY YOUTUBE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO SHOW HOW UNSAFE THIS ISSUE IS AND HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED BEFORE A REAL INJURY IS REALIZED. *JS

GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER GROUND AND VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP. AFTER PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, YOU CAN HEAR THE GASOLINE SUCK BACK UP AND THAN IT SPRAYS OUT. *TR

FUEL SPILL / SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING DUE TO FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV). OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN REFILLING TANK. GAS HAS SPILLED ON MY CLOTHES AND CAUSED IRRITATION TO MY SKIN. IT ALSO SPILLS ALL OVER GROUND. THIS IS BOTH A FLAMMABLE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE IN 2012. THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE # AND CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID THE DEFECT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE IN THE VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONED. BOUGHT USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAVE FILLED UP 3 TIMES NOW, AND EVERY TIME, THE PUMP IS NOT ACTIVATED TO SHUT OF AND FUEL FLIES OUT O THE GAS TANK, GETTING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. IT DID NOT DO THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN FUELING THE CAR, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FILL IT UP COMPLETELY, THERE IS ALWAYS A BACK SPLASH OF FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND ONTO THE CAR, PAVEMENT AND OF COURSE, THE PERSON FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETELY FILL UP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A FIRE OCCURRING. NOT SAFE AT ALL. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000), YET NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2006 MODELS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION. IT HAS ALSO RUSTED THE AREA BELOW THE FILL TUBE. *TR

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION I KEEP CONTINUING TO HAVE BACK-FLOW OF GAS WHEN FILLING UP. IT IS HAPPENING EVERY-TIME AND I THINK THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE INQUIRY IS RQ08005 AND THE RECALL IS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE AND CAP). WE NEED TO PRESSURE THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL THE DURANGO'S. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, FUEL SPITS BACK OUT AT THE OWNER AND DOWN THE QUARTER PANEL, EVERY TIME. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ONE MONTH AGO. WE'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OWNED BY DIFFERENT COMPANIES. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT COVERS EARLIER DURANGOS. I RATHER LICK A FAT CLOWN'S [XXX] THAN BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS
