Recently reported FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE problems on 2005 Dodge Durango

When filling the gas tank a large amount of gasoline spits out after the fuel nozzle clicks off. i first thought is was a defect with the fuel nozzle. but it continues to happen each time i fill up. this is very dangerous and could cause serious injury or death in the event of a fire or explosion. there are several videos on ytube which clearly show this problem. when this occurs the vehicle is stopped at the service station with the engine and ignition is off. i have researched and found the chrysler has a recall on this problem but vin is not included. the recall should include all vehicles that have this problem. pleas advise on what can be done to get chrysler to rectify this dangerous problem at their expense. thank you. this problem first occurred in november 2016 and has continued each time i fill up. *tr

Every time i went to fill the gas tank it had a delay overflow . started out with about a cup of gasoline and then increased to about 3/4 of a pint and this is even when filling very slowly. i checked online and found that there had been a recall on durango's in 2005 for gas tanks overflowing because of a defective check valve. when i contacted the dealer he said that recall did not apply to my vin number?. i do not see how that can be. i have owned many cars over 40 years and never had one overfill the fuel tank and splash all over you. *tr

Having 3 major issues that can be life threatening..1) driving at any speed sometimes vehicle will completely shut off leaving me on the highway at 60mph no power steering 2) filling gas tank up no matter if i go slow will always spit lots of gas back out of the neck 3) 4x4 is engaging by itself. i can park it turn motor off and you can hear it going into 4x4 without me being in the vehicle or touching the 4x4 knob. this has cause me issue steering when it decides to go into 4x4 mode by itself. i need to know if their is current complaints about the above issues and how can i get them fix without me paying. *tr

Spits back fuel after refueling. possibility of fire hazard. *tr

When refueling vehicle, fuel gushes out of fuel filler tube violently. this occurs no matter what speed fuel is pumped into tank. i see that 2 recalls affect this condition in this model year vehicle but the recalls seem to affect only a portion of vehicles for this model year. my vehicle appears to have been manufactured in april 2005. this appears to place it between the 2 groups of vehicles covered by the recall. i went to a chrysler dealer on 3-5-14 and was told that my vehicle is not covered by the recall. why aren't all vehicles affected with this problem covered. seems to be very unsafe to have a large quantity of gasoline ejected from the filler each time it is fueled. the incident date i indicated above is the date i purchased the vehicle. i have no knowledge of problems the previous owner encountered, it was owned from new by a local police department. *tr

When fueling up my vehicle at the end of the pumping procedure, gas shoots out of tank and depending on pressure it can reach my forehead. *tr

Whenever i fill up my gas tank gas pours out. i try to listen real close so it doesn't happen and then sometimes even as i am taking the pump out a bunch of gas will come back out of it. this has been going on for a very long time. i even had a gas attendant try to tell me i would have to pay for the clean up. i seen were there was a recall on this and i called the manufacturer and they told me my vehicle was not part of the recall. evidently there are other 05 dodge durangos having the same problem. *tr

Fuel overflows when you fill the tank up. gas kicks back smell gas fumes while parked some times. dealer says its not covered. but there is a recall. *tr

2 problems: 1) even though our local dealership is insistent that we don't have a recall, i can see a recall on your page about windshield wiper motors. our wipers come on every time we start the vehicle, and they work sporadically. sometimes while they're on, they won't come on at all, as mentioned in the recall information. why isn't mine covered? 2) biggest problem: several times (upwards of ten times) i have been going slow, usually making a turn, and my engine stalls. i have to turn the key off and then restart, and i'm okay again. took it to a mechanic in the last part of july/first part of august last year, and he replaced the fuel pump. it didn't occur again until december, while we were on vacation- we were slowly going up a hill and it stalled. had to turn the key off and then re-start it. it hadn't done it again until a couple days ago. it did it three times in one day, then has been doing it each day since. i'm really afraid that the durango is going to die in the middle of traffic and i'll get ...

The first time it happened, the transfer case went into neutral, on it's own, while driving on a divided highway, with no shoulder. it kind of created a traffic jam. long story short. a friend towed me home. i reset the transfer case per the instruction manual, and it went back into gear. still do not know why it went into neutral in the first place. now, when you open the doors, the transfer case motor operates like crazy, for up to 30 seconds, and some times longer. i got on line and have found out that is a problem experienced by many durango awd owners. i bought it used and the previous owners claimed that it never did it before. also, when filling the tank up, the filler neck will "purge" fuel out onto the ground and your feet. this is listed as a dealer recall, and mine was looks to have been done, but the problem is still there. *tr

When filling the fuel tank up, the gas pours out and goes everywhere the car, ground, and me. *tr

We were filling the fuel tank at a gas station, after the tank was filled it sprayed fuel on my wife. i have investigated this issue online and found this recall. i will also contact dodge ,but i also have read a few instances where they are resistant to this safety issue so i decided to also report it here. *tr
