2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE LAST 5 TIMES I'VE FILLED IT UP, THE GAS HAS OVERFLOWED EVEN THOUGH THE AUTO SHUT-OFF CLICKED ON THE PUMP HANDLE. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT MUST BE THE PUMP, BUT NOW THAT IT'S HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES, I'M AM VERY WORRIED AND WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED BY DODGE. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IS DOING THE SAME AS THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

WHEN I REFUEL MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF THERE IS A BURST OF FUEL THAT WILL FLOW OUT OF MY GAS TANK AND LEAK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO MYSELF AND THE CHILDREN IN THE CAR IF A SPARK IS PRESENT. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS EVERYTIME I REFUEL MY VEHICLE ALL THE WAY AND HAS NOW CAUSE THE PAINT TO ALSO TO START COMING OFF UNDER THE GAS TANK. *TR

AT ABOUT 58,000 MILES MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN TO OVERFLOW OR SPIT BACK A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WHEN TOPPING OFF THE TANK. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 GALLON IN SIZE AND SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK IN A FLOWING SPRAY. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I FILL IT TILL THE PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FINISHED FILLING UP. I CALLED DODGE ON 10/28/2009 TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. DODGE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY ON THE 2005 MODELS, NOT THE 2006 MODELS. THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND TOLD ME TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BY MY DEALERSHIP. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I SEE OVER 270 COMPLAINTS HERE ON THE D.O.T. WEBSITE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ECCO FRIENDLY VAPOR LOCKING GAS PUMPS DO NOT WORK ON MY DURANGO WHEN GAS COMES SPRAYING OUT THE FUEL FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE TRUCK, GROUND, AND ANYTHING NEAR IT INCLUDING PEOPLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AND I HOPE IT ISN'T MY 16 YR. OLD SON WHO JUST GOT HIS LICENSE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE FUEL CHECK VALVE AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING VIDEOS OF MY NEXT SEVERAL FILL-UPS AS EVIDENCE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOME ACTION?

THE SHUT-OFF VALVE ON THE GAS TANK FOR MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO DOES NOT WORK AND SIGNIFICANT VOLUMES OF GASOLINE SPILL ONTO THE GROUND DURING EACH VISIT TO THE GAS STATION. DUE TO REPEATED EVENTS OVER THE LIFE THE VEHICLE THE PAINT UNDER AND BEHIND THE TANK HAS FAILED AND RUST UNDER THE PAINT IS OCCURRING. *TR

FUEL FILLER TUBE OVERFLOWS AFTER FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION HITS THE AUTO SHUT-OFF POINT. NOTIFIED DEALER WHO SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THAT, BUT OFFERED TO LOOK INTO IT FOR A CHARGE. APPROXIMATELY 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED. THE FUEL SPRAYS OVER WHOMEVER IS FILLING THE VEHICLE AND IS RUINING THE PAINT AROUND THE FILLER TUBE. THERE IS AN EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION DANGER AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO EYES, LUNGS, AND SKIN. THIS IS ALSO DAMAGING TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR
