I HAVE A 2008 DODGE DURANGO WITH 28,000 MILES ON IT. JUST RECENTLY WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP AND THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS OFF MEANING THE TANK IS FULL, UPON REMOVING THE HANDLE GAS ERUPTS FROM THE TANK AND POURS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY DURANGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT DANGER AND A RECALL WITH A FIX SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

FUEL SQUIRTS OUT OF FILLER NECK EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED, DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS FILLED FAST OR SLOW. *TR
