THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE GASOLINE FILLER TANK CHECK VALVE THAT CAUSES GAS TO SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER HOSE ASSEMBLY DURING FUELING. HERE IS A VIDEO SHOWING THE ISSUE (VIDEO IS OF ANOTHER MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE): HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B0-_9WG6DW4 BACKGROUND: IN MARCH 2005 A RECALL WAS CONDUCTED TO REMEDY FUEL-SPIT BACK PROBLEMS CAUSED BY STUCK INLET CHECK VALVES IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBES. AT THAT TIME, CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE FUEL TANKS HAD IDENTIFIED AN EARLY OCTOBER 2004 MANUFACTURING CHANGE THAT SHOULD HAVE ELIMINATED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, HIGHER RATES OF COMPLAINTS AND WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR THE MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 10/13/04 TO 11/30/04 COMPARED WITH THE REMAINING MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT AFTER NOVEMBER 2004 INDICATE THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM CONTINUED IN THE FIELD FOR VEHICLES BUILT FROM MID-OCTOBER THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER. CHRYSLER REPORTED PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS SPIT BACK PROBLEMS AND BELIEVES THESE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. IN MARCH 2005 , CHRYSLER INITIATED A SAFETY RECALL OF APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 3/1/04 TO 10/12/04 (REFER TO RECALL 05V-034). IN JANUARY 2009, THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 19,000 ADDITIONAL MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 10/13/04 THROUGH 11/30/04 (REFER TO RECALL 09V-003). ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, MY MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED IN MARCH OF 2005 AND IS HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE SPECIFIED IN THE RECALLS. TO CORRECT SAFETY DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME ~$1,000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE INLET CHECK VALVE. THE CONTACT INQUIRED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I LIKE MANY 2005 DURANGO OWNERS WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. I HAVE GAS SPRAY OUT THE FILLER NECK ONCE THE GAS PUMP CUTS OFF. IT SPRAYS GAS EVERYWHERE AND CAUSES AN UNSAFE SITUATION PLUS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE OF POURING GAS ON THE GROUND. DODGE WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN VIN'S EVEN THOUGH EVERY MODEL IS AFFECTED. IT IS A $700 REPAIR AT THE DEALER AND DODGE KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE. SEE A VIDEO HERE. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?NR=1&FEATURE=ENDSCREEN&V=FS5U63CN-II. *TR

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO IT STARTING SPILLING GAS WHEN I TRY AN FILL IT UP, I KEEP CHECKING RECALLS BUT NOTHING FOR MY VEHICLE AND RESEARCHING OTHERS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT ONLY CERTAIN 05 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX MYSELF SO I HAVE TO MONITOR HOW MUCH GAS TO PUT IN, AT $4.00 A GALLON I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT ON THE GROUND. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR TRIPS TO FILL IT UP TO MONITOR MILES PER GALLON AND TO GET THE MOST MILES WITHOUT STOPPING MORE OFTEN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY CAN'T ALL THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED, IT IS DEFIANTLY A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR
