DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE - SAFETY RECALL: I OWN A 2005MY DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING AT A GAS STATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED, RESULTING IN 1-2 SECONDS BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR ONTO MY HANDS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, WHO WORKS AT CHRYSLER, OWNS A 2008 MY DURANGO WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE INFORMATION ON CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL H45 AND E01 THAT SEEM TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION, THEY DID NOTHING AND CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK (~$900). I WOULD LIKE MY ISSUE INCLUDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE OTHER RELATED SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRES MANUAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO WWW.MOTORTREND.COM, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM - ONE IN 2005 AND THE OTHER IN 2009. WHEN CALLING DODGE, THEY STATE THAT THOSE RECALLS MAY HAVE BEEN "VIN SPECIFIC" AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

GAS HAS STARTED OVERFLOWING/SPRAYING OUT WHEN FILLING UP. PUMP STOPS AND SECONDS LATER IT HAPPENS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT SPRAYED SOME FUEL ON ONE OF MY BOYS WHO WAS STANDING BY ME. THANKFULLY, IT DIDN'T GET IN HIS EYE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP BUT SINCE REALIZED ITS THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN THE TWO RECALLS ON THIS DUE TO THE TANKS INLET CHECK VALVES NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THE RECALLS COVER VEHICLES MADE THROUGH NOV. 04. MY DURANGO WAS MADE DEC 04 SO DODGE WON'T TOUCH IT. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL FILL, THE GAS PUMP HANDLE WILL 'CLICK' OFF, THEN A SECOND LATER FUEL SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, GROUND AND ANYONE STANDING NEARBY. THE PROBLEM MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL FILL-UPS IN A ROW, OR MAY SKIP A FILL-UP, AND DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. FUELING SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY, DOES NOT STOP THE FUEL SPRAY SPILLAGE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY FUEL STATION IN AT LEAST 6 STATES NOW. *TR
