2006 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK AND IT EVEN GETS REMOTELY CLOSE TO FULL IT SPRAYS FUEL AT ME EVERYWHERE AND SPILLS TONS ON THE GROUND. I CAN'T LEAVE IT FOR A SECOND AND IT CAN'T GET FULL OR IT'S HORRIBLE. I SEE THAT THE 2005 DURANGO'S HAD A BIG RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT INCIDENT BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2006'S. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M TOLD THAT THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DO TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT SPRAYS OUT AND NOTHING CAN REALLY BE DONE TO STOP IT EXCEPT ME PAY TO REPLACE IT OR TO NOT FILL MY TANK WHICH IS A PAIN. MY VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING. WHY IS 2005 COVERED BUT NOT 2006? *TR

2006 DODGE DURANGO HAS A FUEL ISSUE*CW THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WOULD SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE 2005 MODELS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2006 EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB UPDATED 03/04/10.*JB

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR STANDING IN A POOL OF GASOLINE. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB SEVERAL 2006 DURANGO OWNERS RESPONDED ON THE DODGE FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE 2005 DURANGO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED. DEALERS WANT TO FIX WITH A $600 TO $700 NEW TANK INSTEAD OF ADMITTING THAT IT'S REALLY A DESIGN PROBLEM. YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BLOWN UP.*TR

GASOLINE SPITS OUT OF FUEL FILLER NECK ON 2006 DODGE HEMI DURANGO WHENEVER THE TANK IS FILLED. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE 2006. FUEL SPILLAGE ISSUE BEGAN IN APPROXIMATELY JUNE 2009 AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES. I HAVE CLEANED ALL OF THE VENTS AND FILLER TUBES TO NO AVAIL. PROBLEM CONTINUES. IDENTICAL TO FAILURES RECALLED BY CAMPAIGNS 05V034000 AND 09V003000 WHICH CLAIMED THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED BY A MANUFACTURING CHANGE TO THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE. *TR

SOME FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE AT THE END OF REFUELING. MAYBE INLET CHECK VALVE NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. JUST LIKE 2005 RECALL BUT NO RECALL ISSUED ON 2006. I'VE GOTTEN SPRAYED WITH GAS 6 TIMES SO FAR (ABOUT A PINT EACH TIME) WHEN FILLING TANK. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE PIPE WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. EVEN WHEN YOU PUMP IT SLOWLY NEAR THE END, THIS OCCURS. SOMETIMES IT CAN ALMOST BE A HALF A GALLON ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SHOES AND CLOTHES. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT AND EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. YOU CAN HEAR IT FORCEFULLY COMING UP THE FILL TUBE AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. IF YOU SLOWLY CONTINUE FILLING THEN YOU CAN TOP OFF THE TANK WITH ANOTHER 5 GALLONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND COVERED ME WITH GAS WHILE STANDING OVER 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE GAS WILL DISCHARGE FROM THE FILLER NECK PRIOR TO VALVE CLOSING ON FUEL FILLER HOSE. OCCURS AT MULTIPLE FILL STATIONS AND IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ONE FUEL PUMP. DEFECT AND COMPLAINTS NOTED FOR 2005 MODEL YEAR APPEAR TO BE PRESENT IN 2006 MODEL YEAR. NO DAMAGE OR REPLACEMENT HAS OCCURRED TO OEM FUEL SYSTEM. FAILURE OCCURS WITH EVERY FUELING FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. FAILURE INVOLVES ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY IMPACTS FOR DISCHARGE OF RAW FUEL WHILE FUELING. *TR

IT ALL STARTED WHEN I TOOK MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO IN TO CHANGE A FUSE. ( WAS UNDER WARRANTY). ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE FOLLOWING STARTED. HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING DAY OR NIGHT, TURN SIGNAL WILL GO ON & OFF, DOME LIGHTS WILL GO ON& OFF, WIPERS WITH WASH WILL GO ON & OFF, & THE RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DAY OR NIGHT NO MATTER THE TEMPS. LATELY SEEMS LIKE THE HEAT & COOL AIR DON'T BLOW FOR THE FLOOR. IT WAS AT THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES & NO ANSWERS. I DID CONTACT DODGE ITSELF & NOW THEY MAY HAVE A FIX FOR $500 FOR ME BUT NOT TOTALLY SURE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN YOU FILL THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE PIPE WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IT IS THE SAME THING THAT THE 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR. 2005 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 AND 09V003000. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. *TR
