2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, APPROX A PINT OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. SOMETIMES UP TO A FEW FEET AWAY. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM DODGE LAST WEEK STATES MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR. SEE VIDEO HERE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B0-_9WG6DW4. *TR

FUEL SPEWS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING BEFORE TANK IS FULL UNLESS FUEL IS ADDED VERY SLOWLY AND PUMP IS STOPPED AND HANDLE IS REMOVED FROM FILLER NECK EACH TIME AFTER ADDING 2-6 GALLONS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH FUEL IS CURRENTLY IN TANK.

FUEL BEGAN SPRAYING FROM NECK OF GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP IN FALL OF 2010. WE TRIED REFILLING AT LARGE NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS ACROSS UTAH, NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA, WITH THE SAME RESULT WHEN THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN, AND AFTER SPENDING $260, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WILL COST ANOTHER $500 TO $1000 TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL OF LOWER VIN # DURANGOS TO FIX THIS, BUT NOT FOR OUR VIN #. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A WASTE OF GAS AND A POLLUTION PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FUELING OUR DURANGO FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE PUMPS SHUTS OFF AND THEN GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. ON MYSELF OR THE ATTENDANT, THE TRUCK, AND THE GROUND. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE STATION OR SPEED OF FILL. THERE ARE TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE BE FORCED TO EXPAND THE EFFECTED VEHICLES VIN NUMBERS AND DO THERE PART TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT BUT STOPPING THE SPILL OF GAS ON US AND THE GROUND.

WHEN REFILLING THE VEHICLE GASOLINE SQUIRTS OUT OF THE RECOVERY TUBE. THE HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU FILL UP QUICK OR SLOW. AFTER THE SHUTOFF ENGAGES FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER YOU, THE DURANGO AND THE GROUND.

I GOT A RECALL LETTER FOR MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT MATCH MY SUV VIN AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. I NOW HAVE 76,000 MILES ON THE DURANGO AND IT STARTED THROWING UP FUEL WHEN COMPLETING A FILL UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME NOW. DODGE ALREADY SAID MY TRUCK WAS GOOD AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I AM SURE YOU THEY WILL TRY AND TELL ME TO COVER THE COST ON MY OWN. I WILL NOT COVER THE COST I PROMISE YOU THAT. DODGE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, SO FIX IT. YOU ARE SELLING JUNK AND I HAVE BEEN A TRUE CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS THIS IS MY 5TH DURANGO AND MY LAST. I HOPE IT STARTS A FIRE SO I WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO PAY FOR CRAP YOUR SELLING. *TR
