2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, THE FUEL HOSE SHUT OFF SENSING THAT THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL HOWEVER THE FUEL CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL SPILLED OUT ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE, TAIL PIPE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD, AND DEFINITELY A CHEMICAL BURN ON MY HANDS AND UNCOVERED FEET. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR, BUT THE DEALER SAID MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK SPILLING ONTO THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL, THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE CHECK VALVE FILLER TUBE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CHECK VALVE FILLER TUBE, GAS TANK AND THE SENDING UNIT BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

FUEL SPIT-BACK- WHETHER WE FILL IT ON THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF WE MANUALLY FILL IT USING AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS FROM THE FILL SPOUT DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HANDS CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. I HAVE HAD TO GO HOME AND CHANGE CLOTHES AFTER TRYING TO FILL THE CAR WITH GAS.

FUEL FILL-UP WORKED FLAWLESSLY UNTIL ~45K. EVERY FILL-UP AFTER THAT (NOW AT 58K), ALLOWS GAS TO SPILL OUT ON THE GROUND. THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND THEN 1 TO 2 CUPS OF GASOLINE GUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE ONLY SOLUTION I'VE FOUND IS TO STOP FILLING THE GAS TANK BEFORE IT'S FULL (GUESSING GAME REQUIRED TO PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD). HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A RECALL? *TR

A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FUEL FILLER WHEN GASOLINE PUMP SHUTS OFF AT TANK FULL. *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO GUSHES FUEL OUT OF TANK DURING FILING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER EXPECT OWNERS TO PAY FOR TANK REPLACEMENT ALTHOUGH 2005 MODELS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAD RECALL. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL AND COVER ALL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED! *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO, SPRAYS FUEL OUT OF FILL PORT ONTO THE GROUND, WHEN IT SHOULD BE CLICKING THE NOZZLE OFF. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER FILLING HIS TANK UP THE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON A INTERMITTENT BASIS SINCE 2008. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAS IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. TB

DURING NORMAL FUEL FILL-UP PROCEDURES, WHENEVER THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS PUMPING FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL IS EJECTED FROM THE GAS FILL-UP DOOR. THIS GASOLINE IS SPRAYED OVER ANYONE AND ANYTHING WITHIN APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET OF THE VEHICLE IN DIRECT LINE WITH THE FUEL DOOR, AS WELL AS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND ONTO THE GROUND. SEVERAL OTHER 2004-2006 DODGE DURANGO OWNERS I KNOW HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, WITH NO HELP TO REPAIR OR REIMBURSE FOR REPAIR FROM CHRYSLER'S CORPORATE OFFICE.

FUEL TANK DOES NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND OVERFLOWS WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND IT OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED UP. THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS, I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR 2006 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHEN WILL YOU MAKE DODGE RECALL THE 2006 MODELS FOR THIS? I AM WAITING FOR A GAS STATION TO CHARGE ME FOR HAZ-MAT CLEAN UP OVER THIS. *TR
