2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

AFTER I BOUGHT MY DURANGO USED, I BROUGHT IT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK. I FILLED UP THE TANK, JUST BEFORE THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF, THERE WAS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS THAT SHOT OUT THE GAS FILLER HOSE AT ME- I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION AND TOLD THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO I FILLED MY FUEL TANK AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE FUEL LITERALLY SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT AT ME. I THOUGHT THIS TIME IT WASN'T A COINCIDENCE SINCE IT WAS AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I STARTED SEARCHING AND FOUND THERE ARE MANY DURANGO OWNERS WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. APPARENTLY, DODGE HAS AGREED TO FIX 2006-2008 VEHICLES, BUT THE 2005'S AREN'T COVERED. THIS IS REDICULOUS, DOES SOMEONE'S CAR HAVE TO CATCH ON FIRE FOR DODGE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? *TT

FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. ABOUT ONE OR TWO SECONDS AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF BECAUSE THE TANK IS FULL, FUEL WILL GUSH OUT OF THE TANK FOR ABOUT ANOTHER ONE TO TWO SECONDS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A GENERAL SAFETY CONCERN. THE DODGE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S A STUCK ROLL OVER VALVE AND NOT UNDER WARANTY OR COVERED IN A RECALL. *TT

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THREE YEARS AGO I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER, ABOUT GAS SPEWING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN I FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IS WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY OF 2005 AND NOT A 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 2004 AND 2005 DURANGOS AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER THESE VEHICLES. HAVING GAS SPEW OUT OF MY TANK IS GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TT

CANNOT FILL UP MY FUEL TANK WITHOUT GETTING GASOLINE SPRAY. ANYTIME THE GAS STATION PUMP IS ALLOWED TO SHUT ITSELF OFF IT SPRAYS FUEL OUT. THIS IS AT EVERY GAS STATION I HAVE EVER GONE TO. THE HAZARD OF A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE FILING UP WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN IT IS FULL GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHILE THE GAS NOZZLE IS STILL IN THERE.. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON 2006-2007 MODELS BUT NOT 2005'S LIKE MINE.. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO FILL MY TRUCK UP WITH GAS AND NOT HAVE IT SPEW OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND THE GROUND.. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN 2009. I AM IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER AND CHECKED HISTORY FOR ANY CRASHES. ALSO NO SIGNS OF ANY BODY REPAIR OR ANYTHING BEING NOT ORIGINAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. I LIKE MANY OTHERS CANNOT FILL UP MY FUEL TANK WITHOUT GETTING SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE! ANYTIME THE GAS STATION PUMP IS ALLOWED TO SHUT ITSELF OFF IT SPRAYS AT LEAST A HALF GALLON OF FUEL OUT. THIS IS AT EVERY GAS STATION I HAVE EVER GONE TO. THAT MEANS EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP IN THE LAST 2.5 YEARS HAS GIVEN ME THE HAZARD OF A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IN THE PAST WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL BUT THAT IT MAY BE EXPANDED AND TO JUST BE PATIENT. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND MANY FORUMS IT IS CLEAR THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS NOT UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. THIS RECALL SHOULD PROBABLY BE REVIEWED AND EXPANDED TO COVER ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
