2008 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FUEL SPRAY FROM FILLER NECK WHEN TANK REACHES FULL. THE SHUT OFF IN THE FILLER NECK/GAS TANK FAILS CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY FROM THE FILLER NECK TOWARDS THE PERSON FILLING AND ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, APPROX. A PINT OR SO WORTH OF GAS. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF, A LARGE VOLUME OF FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THIS FUEL FLOWS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SPRAYS ON THE PERSON STANDING NEAR THE PUMP AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. AFTER DRIVING OFF, THE ODOR OF THE FUEL IS VERY STRONG IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, AND NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. *TR

APPROXIMATELY A PINT OF GASOLINE SPILLS/SHOOTS FROM THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL DURING REFUELING. IT APPEARS THAT THE TANK VENT MECHANISM HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ALLOWING FUEL TO SHOOT OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY, FIRE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,122.

DURING THE FUEL FILLING OF MY DURANGO, ONCE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AFTER THE TANK IS FULL GAS WILL THEN BACK FLUSH OUT OF THE FILL NECK ON THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS ON THE GROUND CAUSING A IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD.

2008 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 SLT W/5.7 ENGINE... GAS BLOWBACK ISSUE WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK.. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM IS CHECK-VALVE RELATED AND CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY CHANGING THE TANK. I ALSO OWN A 2005 DURANGO SLT 5.7 AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER FINALLY HONORED THE RECALL AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM SHOCKED TO SEE THE 2008 MODEL STILL HAS THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. WHILE DODGE AND THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE IGNORING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH RECENT MODELS AND HAVE NOT ISSUED RECALLS. THE PROOF AND HISTORY IS THERE.. DO WE NEED FAMILIES BURNED TO DEATH, FLASH FIRES AT GAS STATIONS, EYE DAMAGE FROM GUSHING GAS, BEFORE A RECALL IS DEEMED WORTHY? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? IT IS SIMPLY A CONTINUATION OF A RECALL THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH EARLIER MODEL YEARS AND I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE FUEL PUMP CLICKED TO INDICATE THE TANK WAS FULL FUEL BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,948 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,118.

FUEL SYSTEM "SPEWS" GASOLINE SECONDS AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF VALVE STOPS PUMP. BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FILLER TUBE CHECK VALVE REFERENCED IN 2005 DODGE DURING RECALL. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

ON MY 2008 DURANGO, THE "FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE" HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT DODGE RECALLED SOME 2005 DURANGOS FOR IN 2009 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #09V003000) AT EACH FILL-UP, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION, WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED UP, AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF - A LARGE AMOUNT (1 GAL OR SO) OF GAS LITERALLY "SPEWS" FROM THE GAS TANK FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 10 SECONDS. THIS GAS WILL SPRAY THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE AND SURROUNDING AREA. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. DODGE HAS CLAIMED THAT THE 2008 MODELS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL, BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS PRESENT. THEREFORE A NEW, EXPANDED RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, AUTOMATIC GAS SHUT-OFF FAILS AND GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. PRESENTS A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TRUCK UP COMPLETELY. TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES. *TR
