2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I ASKED THE GAS ATTENDANT TO FILL UP THE TANK. AFTER ABOUT HALF A MINUTE OR SO, GAS SPRAYED OUT OF THE TANK. I WOULD ESTIMATE HALF A GALLON OF GAS OR SO WAS SPRAYED OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE. DID FILL UPS AT THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND SAME RESULT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ONLY THE 4.7S ARE BEING RECALLED NOT THE 5.7S FOR THE GAS TANK'S RETURN VALVE MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES THE SPRAY. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO A TURN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MOST DURANGO OWNERS HAD LUCK WITH FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING AND/OR EGR VALVE REPLACEMENTS. I DID BOTH, AND THE VEHICLE RAN FINE UP UNTIL TODAY (2 MONTHS LATER). THERE WERE PREVIOUS "INVESTIGATIONS" FOR RECALL SERVICES A FEW YEARS BACK, BUT THEY WERE CLOSED OUT. I HOPE DODGE DECIDES TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AGAIN.. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PAYING $200 EVERY 2 MONTHS FOR FUEL CLEANING SERVICES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS - WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND REMOVING NOZZLE THE GAS SPILLS OUT IN PRETTY LARGE VOLUME. HAPPENED ON LAST 4 OCCASIONS. OTHER DURANGO'S SAME MODEL YEAR ARE SEEING THE SAME THING. NOT SAFE. *TR
