2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, UPON THE FUEL PUMP TURNING OFF, THE DURANGO'S FUEL TANK WILL SPRAY GASOLINE BACK OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP, AND LEAK FUEL ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION. THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN COUNTLESS FORUMS AND VIDEOS ONLINE. THE 2005 DURANGO HAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS DODGE RECOGNIZED THE RISK OF A VEHICLE OR FUEL STATION FIRE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, EASILY REPEATABLE, AND TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. AND WORSE YET, DODGE EVEN APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FUEL SPRAY AT THE END OF REFUELING CONTACTED DODGE FOR THE CONCERN FOR A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED 1-20-2012 BUT MY VEH DOESN'T HAVE A X39 FOR THE UNLIMITED TIME AND MILEAGE WARRANTY EXTENSION, THE BULLETIN STATES FOR 2006-2008 DURANGO AND 2007-2008 ASPEN,NO BUILD DATE,NO SALT BELT AREA,NO ENGINE SIZE. DODGE DECIDES WHAT DURANGO GETS A X39 ..AND IF THE CUST;EXPERIENCES THIS SYMPTOM/CONDITION ,PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE X39 SO WE CAN GET THIS FIXED... *TR

GASOLINE SPEWS FROM FILLER NECK EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL TANK WITH GASOLINE. EVERY FILLING STATION I STOP AT IS THE SAME!! I SPILL GASOLINE ON ME, THE CAR, THE PAVEMENT. THE NOZZLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IF SOMEONE WERE TO THROW A CIGARETTE TOWARD ME THERE COULD BE A GASOLINE FIRE WITH ME IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. MY DEALER SAYS THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH ME WHEN I FILL MY TANK. I AM 63 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE OWNED 15 CARS OR SO, WITH NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF INTAKE AREA. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON. *KB

WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER TUBE WHEN TANK NEARS CAPACITY. *KB

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OVERFLOWED FILLER TUBE AFTER PUMP SHUTOFF. GAS SPRAYED APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET, COVERING FUELER AND PUMP. *TT

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE FOLLOWING EVENTS TAKE PLACE: THE GAS STATIONS NOZZLE CLICKS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. A BUBBLING SOUND IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A GUSH OF GASOLINE SPEWING FROM THE FILL NECK ONTO ME AND THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURING IS TO TRY AND GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARING FULL AND STOP PUMPING. I'VE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLE ABOUT IDENTIAL PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 DURANGO BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 DURANGO. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT'D I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR. THEREFOR I HAVEN'T FIXED IT BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. *TT
