2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FUELING ONCE TANK IS FULL AND PUMP SHUTS OFF, A MODERATE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE WILL SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK. EVEN IF YOU SLOW THE PUMP TO A VERY SLOW RATE BEFORE IT BECOMES COMPLETELY FULL YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR RELEASING FROM THE TANK AND WITHOUT WARNING IT STILL SPILLS. THIS HAS OCCURRED THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, AND EVEN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DEALER STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BESIDES INSIST I NOT FILL COMPLETELY UP. ANYWHERE FROM A FOOTPRINT SIZE PUDDLE TO A PUDDLE COVERING THE REAR AXLE LENGTH OF VEHICLE OCCURS. AFTER INSTALLING DUAL EXHAUST ON VEHICLE I AM VERY NERVOUS OF LETTING THIS CONTINUE AND RISK GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO HOT PIPE IGNITING A FIRE, LET ALONE ANY CLEARCOAT DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE TO PAINT. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE ON NUMEROUS DODGE FORUMS. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR

FUEL SPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. WHEN PUMP SENSES TANK IS FULL, IT SHUTS OFF AND MOMENTS LATER FUEL SPOUTS OUT OF CAR FROM FILL TUBE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 3/20/11; THIS IS ON ONGOING PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR

FUEL SPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. WHEN PUMP SENSES TANK IS FULL, IT SHUTS OFF AND MOMENTS LATER FUEL SPOUTS OUT OF CAR FROM FILL TUBE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. IN NEW YORK MOST STATIONS ARE SELF SERVICE AND REQUIRE YOU HOLD THE TRIGGER OF PUMP NOZZLE; ONE'S HAND (OR WORSE) IS FREQUENTLY SPRAYED WITH FUEL. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 12/10; THIS IS ON ONGOING PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY WIFE WAS FUELING UP THE CAR AND WAS DOUSED WITH GAS ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED ON THE FUEL PUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THING, BUT THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE 2005 DURANGOS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY IGNORED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR HUMAN LIFE/ HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND HAD BEEN A RECURRING FAILURE FOR APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) WHICH APPLIED TO THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL YET THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AGREED TO ASSIST WITH FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS AT MANY STATIONS, THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF BUT THEN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF GAS "BURPS" BACK OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT STARTED OVERFLOWING DURING PUMPING GAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ONCE THE TANK FILLS UP, IT SHOOTS ABOUT 500 ML OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP, SO I TRIED DIFFERENT STATION AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AND ALWAYS THE SAME RESULT. I ALSO TRIED TO FILL UP THE TANK ABOUT 90% OF THE WAY, PULL OUT THE PUMP TO LET IT VENT, AND THEN CONTINUE PUMPING AFTER THE TANK WAS VENTED. THIS DIDNT HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I SHOOTS A HALF LITER OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND THAT SOAKES INTO THE GROUND, POOLS ON THE GROUND, AND RUNS ALL OVER THE CAR. IF SOMEONE WAS SMOKING OR SOMETHING SPARKED, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE KILLED. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO SOME DEGREE EVEN WHILE KNOWING IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK ON MY 2007 DURANGO 5.7L 4X4 THE AUTO FUEL SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK RESULTING IN A MAJOR FUEL SPILL. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AS WELL AS A THERMAL EVENT HAZARD (FIRE HAZARD). HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS THAT I'VE USED IN THE LAST 5 FILL-UPS. I NOW HAVE TO TURN THE ELECTRICAL ON TO VIEW THE FUEL GAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND STOP THE DELIVERY PUMP MANUALLY. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FILLING IT WITH GAS. I JUST PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2010 AND EVERYTIME I GET GAS I HAVE TO VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND BEGINS TO SPEW GAS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND HAS HAPPENED TO FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAS IT SPEWS THAT IT MAY SPARK A FIRE OR WORSE YET SOMEONE GET DOUSED WITH GASOLINE. IT IS QUITE A SPEW. EVEN WHEN I MANUALLY PUMP IT WILL STILL SPEW. IT IS VERY SCARY! THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! *TR

OUR 2007 DURANGO STARTED HAVING FUEL SPIT BACK AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME A COMPLETE FILL IS PERFORMED. THE SPIT BACK IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT, SPRAYING BACK OUT OF THE FILL NOZZLE AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. A SHORT TIME PRIOR TO THE 1ST OCCURRENCE OF SPIT BACK THE LOOSE GAS CAP INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, ALTHOUGH THE CAP WAS VERIFIED AS CLOSED. *TR
