I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 DURANGO. IT SPITS FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK HORRIBLY WHEN TRYING TO FILL IT UP. EVEN ON SLOWEST SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE IT LAUNCHES FUEL ONTO THE TRUCK, PUMP HANDLE, AND ENOUGH TO "RUN" IF GROUND IS SLANTED. I CONTACTED DODGE WHO SAYS BASICALLY ITS MY BABY. I HAVE TO BUY A TANK TO FIX IT. BUT SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED IT TO THE DODGE REPRESENTATIVE HE INSISTED IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE FOR 2 VEHICLES TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN, ONLY TO FIND SOME ARE COVERED AND SOME ARE NOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION THE EMBARRASSMENT. *TR

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2010 BEGAN TO FILL GAS TANK, WHEN TANK FULL, GAS NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AND A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER GASOLINE SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER MY PANTS AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. SINCE THAT TIME, EVERYTIME TANK IS FILLED, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN IGNITION SOURCE WITH ALL THE GAS THAT LEAKS OUT, A FIRE COULD RESULT, OR IF THE PUMP HAPPENS TO HAVE A FLANGE NEAR END, IT HAS SPRAYED OUT FROM SIDES, AND IF CHILD HAPPENS TO BE WALKING BY, IT COULD SPRAY A CHILD IN THE EYES. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ONE OF THE EPISODES OF GAS COMING OUT FROM AROUND PUMP NOZZLE AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AS IT APPEARS THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY AUTOMOBILE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND SAID THEY WOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR SOME OF THE COST TO GET IT FIXED, HOWEVER WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT AMOUNT THEY WOULD PAY UNTIL AFTER TAKING IT IN. PER SERVICE DEPT REPORT "THE FUEL TANK FLAPPER IS STICKING". THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WERE FIXED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR ALL BUT $250.00 FOR WHICH I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, THERE WOULD BE NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES OR ELECTRICAL POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IF THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

WHEN REFUELING GAS SPILLS FROM THE FILLER TUBE WHEN THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN A ROW SINCE NOVEMBER 15, 2010. IT HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN. THIS OCCURS AT FILL UP. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, SO IT IS NOT A GAS PUMP FAULT. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION REPORTED IN CAMPAIGN 05V034000 AND 09V003000. MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME DEFECT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL, BUT SAID THEY MAY HELP WITH THE REPAIR PENDING A DEALERS REPORT. *TR

THE FUEL TANK SPEWS GAS AT ME WHEN I FILL IT UP, AND SOMETIMES ONLY WHEN I PARTIALLY FILL IT GAS COMES OUT AS WELL. DODGE HAS A RECALL ISSUED ON SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGO VINS, BUT MINE IS NOT IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE PROBLEM. I NEED HELP GETTING IT FIXED AS DODGE CURRENTLY DOES NOT FEEL IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IT FIRST OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM W/ MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 05/05. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS LISTED AS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL YEAR VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MINE. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, GAS WILL BLOW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WITH SUBSTANTIAL FORCE. GASOLINE IS SPEED OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO ASK ABOUT THE ISSUE AFTER READING THE RECALL FOR THE EARLIER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO ADVISED THAT IT WAS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE, BEING BUILT LATE IN THE MODEL YEAR, MAY HAVE HAD THE FAULTY VALVE INSTALLED DURING ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNER'S LIKE MYSELF, CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. I FEEL THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE SPECIFIED DATES IN 09V003000. OTHER THAN SKIN DISCOMFORT, I WAS NOT INJURED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IF FILLED! *TR
