Problems with 2006 Dodge Durango FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

The fuel line check valve sticks allowing gasoline to spit back out when filling up the gas tank. this is a 2006 dodge durango, but the problem is identical to the 2005 model recall on the same issue, and which appears well documented elsewhere, including this website which shows the same issue. http://www.safetyresearch.net/2011/03/23/fuel-spit-back-continues-to-plague-chrysler-vehicles/ my local dealer quoted me $1,200 to replace the valve, and chrysler customer care said that they "might' pay a goodwill payment to reimburse me if i got it fixed. not sure what to do especially if it is recalled like it should be if the 2005 model was for the same reason. *tr

After filling vehicles tank up with gas after the nozzle shut off gas flowed back out ,spilling over me and my vehicle. *tr

While fueling my 2006 dodge durango limited last night, the fueling nozzle clicked off at 19.6 gallons and then approximately 1/4 gallon of gas spilled back out of the fueling inlet of the vehicle getting on my hand, feet, car and ground. this is the 6th time in a row this has happened and at different gas stations. i have contacted dodge who refuse to accept the vehicle is the problem, and refuse to admit other owners are having the same issue. *tr

Gasoline spews out of the fill spout when gas tank is full. this happens every time the pump shuts off when tank is full. you have to be very careful that the gasoline doesn't spray all over the person filling the tank.

When filling 2006 durango with fuel the fuel will spew back out of filler. *tr

A large amount of fuel sprays out of fuel filler when gasoline pump shuts off at tank full. *tr

When i fill my gas tank on my 2006 dodge durango the pump shuts off then gasoline spills out and all over the vehicle and ground. i have had this happen since i bought the vehicle and it happens every time at any gas station. *tr

Gas overflows after fuel bump stops during every fill up. *tr

Fuel spit-back- whether we fill it on the lowest setting on the gas pump or if we manually fill it using as little pressure as possible it overfills every single time and gas pours from the fill spout down the body of the vehicle, on my hands clothes and on the ground. i have had to go home and change clothes after trying to fill the car with gas.

2006 dodge durango gushes fuel out of tank during filing. this is a serious problem and dangerous situation that is being ignored by the manufacturer. dealer and manufacturer expect owners to pay for tank replacement although 2005 models had the same issue and had recall. chrysler needs to recall and cover all years that have this problem before someone is injured or killed! *tr

Fuel overflows while filling tank at every fill-up, and at every gas station or pump. started at approx. 45,000 miles. called dealer and they said that hadn't heard of this problem in the 2006 model, only the 2005. have an appt. to check out. luckily i have the extended warranty, which has come in use twice now! *tr

When refueling vehicle the gas will exit tank with force, spilling gas on ground, vehicle and operator. potential explosion hazard, environmental damage, chemical burns and explosion injury. this started occurring at around 75,000 miles and happens at every fill up when topping off. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. the contact stated that when he attempted to add more than a half gallon of fuel to the vehicle it would spill onto the ground. the dealer advised the contact that his vehicle was not included in any recalls. the manufacturer was aware of the failure. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who inspected the vehicle and informed the contact of the repairs; however, the contact was unable to provide that information. no repairs were performed. the current mileage was 62,347. the approximate failure mileage was 59,800.

Dangerous fuel safety problem with 2006 dodge durango ! when filling gas tank, the pump automatically shuts off and approximately 1-2 pints of gas shoots out of the filler nozzle. it doesn't matter what brand of gas pump, or how much fuel is dispensed. this always happens when filling up. *tr

Faulty valve on fuel tank does not prevent gasoline from spilling during refill. *tr

Gas spills from vehicle when we stop refilling the vehicle. it surges from the tank due to a defective check valve. gas spills on the vehicle and ground, creating an extreme safety hazard. there is a recall (nhtsa campaign id number: 05v034000) for this problem, but chrysler has excluded our vehicle from the recall even though we are having the exact same problem. there are hundreds of examples of other people having the same problem, but chrysler refuses to fix any but the few vehicles included in the recall. chrysler just advised us to get the problem fixed on our own, send them the bill, and they will consider repaying us. this is not right. chrysler knows they have this problem, but are evidently doing everything they can to not fix our vehicle, along with thousands of other similarly affected vehicles. the nhtsa should widen the recall, as this is a serious defect that could cause serious fire and environmental damage. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. the contact stated that after refueling and removing the nozzle, fuel started to spill out from the filler neck. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the valve was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 68,835.

I have a 2006 dodge durango. everytime i fuel the vehicle gas spills from the filler neck when it nears the full point. this will happen whether i am running the pump by hand or whether i have the pump in auto fill. i have tried several different gas stations also. if you are not paying attention fuel comes out with enough pressure to cover a person from the knee area down. not only am i covered in gas but the outside of the vehicle and the ground below are also. the inside of the vehicle has a very strong gas odor. i feel like this creates a huge safety concern for myself, my children, and the next person to pull up to that pump that now has gas on his tires and shoes. all it would take would be a small ignition source to have a serious accident. i have checked with dodge and there is no recall covering this issue for my year model. this seems to be very common on durangos between the 2005-2007 years. the 2005 year has been identified as a defect for recall. why haven't they realized all of the years are? *tr

During refueling. once the gas nozzle clicks and the tank is full a great amount of gasoline spews out of the tank. does not matter what gas station is used. happens every time and is a definite fire risk. multiple searches online demonstrate hundreds of results and videos about this exact issue. *tr

When i fill up the gas tank gas will spew out of the filler tube right as the fuel shuts off. this happens more in warmer weather but can happen any time. will do it most times unless shutting the fuel pump off before the tank is fuel. the gas will shot out, possible up to 1/8 of a gallon. *tr

Gas no longer automatically shuts off. gas spills out everytime i refuel. i have to guess when i should stop the fueling but sometimes i miscalculated and it all over my shoes and the ground. fire hazard in the wait. *tr

When filling my 2006 dodge durango with fuel, the automatic shutoff mechanism doesn't work and fuel splashes out or spits out of the gas tank. this has happened approximately 10 times. now i never fill the tank completely. *tr

At the end of refueling the vehicle will have a burst of gasoline that sprays out of the fuel neck and soaks the side of the vehicle as well as the ground and the person refueling if they are standing next to the vehicle. same as recall campaign for the year prior (05v034000). *tr

Fuel sprayed out of the filler tube after filling the tank to full and nozzle clicked off. this has happened on multiple occasions. i no longer fill up all the way to prevent any more overflows and potential fires. problem is same as 2005 recall but dealer will not repair without a recall for 2006 durango. *tr

While pumping gas into my 2006 dodge durango limited, the fuel hose shut off sensing that the tank was almost full however the fuel came spewing out of the tank from the vehicle. approximately 1/4 of a gallon of fuel spilled out onto me, the vehicle, tail pipe and the ground. this has happened now five times in a row. this could be a fire hazard, and definitely a chemical burn on my hands and uncovered feet. there is a recall for the 2005 model year, but the dealer said mine is not covered under that recall. *tr

There is a problem with the fuel filling in 2006 dodge durango's. when filling, fuel backwashes out of the fuel opening after the pump stops fueling. this overspill occurs every time, and also times when i try to stop fueling before the tank is full. it is dangerous, and needs to be addressed. it started a few months ago. i don't fill the durango very often (i don't drive it much), but started to occur last year. *tr

I have a 2006 dodge durango and when you fill the fuel tank, fuel gushes out of the pipe when the pump shuts off. this happens every time. it is the same thing that the 2005 durangos were recalled for. i'd like mine recalled. 2005 recall nhtsa campaign number: 09v003000 and 09v003000. the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. this could allow some fuel to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling. *tr

Dear nhtsa, your website lists some 300 or more complaints regarding this vehicle and problem described below. please move to force a solution from chrysler before tragedy strikes! 2005 durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem and it obviously continued in the 2006 models. thanks. my 2006 dodge durango limited began having issues with the fuel tank over a year ago. every time i fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. and the serb. i called chrysler about the issue but they (chrysler) said they were choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue. *kb

2006 dodge durango, sprays fuel out of fill port onto the ground, when it should be clicking the nozzle off. *tr

I have a 2006 dodge durango with approximately 51,000 miles. when i fill the fuel tank, gasoline gushes out of the fuel opening within a second or two after the pump shuts off. this happens every time i refuel starting a few months ago. it is the same thing that the 2005 durangos were recalled for. it is a very dangerous situation for which dodge should be help accountable. the 2005 recall nhtsa campaign number: 09v003000 and 09v003000 is the exact same issue that dodge and nhtsa is obviously aware of. my research shows that hundreds of complaints have been made about this issue. please take the necessary action for a recall. *tr

I have a 2006 dodge durango limited which upon filling with gasoline will overflow instead of cutting off when full. the fuel will shoot out of the opening on the vehicle causing a potential fire hazard. this has been happening now for awhile. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. while fueling the vehicle, approximately a quart of fuel spilled out. the failure had been on-going since december 2010. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the failure and they advised him that the fuel filler tube and filter needed to be replaced. the contact referenced recall 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly:filler pipe and cap and stated he was having the same failure. the vehicle had not been repaired. he contacted the manufacturer and was advised to file a safety complaint. the failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 85,914.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. the contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, gasoline fuel would spew back out from the filler tube spilling onto the contact and the ground. the dealer advised that there were no recalls on the vehicle. the manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there were no recalls on the vehicle. no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 58,000.

When filling the tank with gas, at end of fill up gas will spewl out onto car, ground, and myself!! took to dealer was told check valve seal had deteriorated, would need to replace fuel tank. repair plus labor would be at least $800. contacted dodge chrysler by email, was called that day. excellent pr but was told there was no recall at this time for this problem,. there have been other complaints of this problem but not enough to do a recall. told if i pay the first $200 they would cover the rest, if a recall happens i would be reimbursed this cost. i do not feel that anyone owning this vehicle should be responsible for the cost of this defective regardless of mileage on car. this is a factory defective not caused by ownership. i believe this is a safety hazard, does something serious have to happened to someone and their car before this is taken care of? *tr

I have a 2006 model year dodge durango. every time i fill the gas tank it sprays out of the filler neck when the nozzle shuts off. every time. i saw where there was a recall on the 2005 model durangos for the same reason. how many people have to be injured or killed before there is a recall on the rest of the defective units? *tr

2006 dodge durango overflows fuel when filling to full status. i currently stop filling vehicle to avoid the spill of fuel and not getting all over my clothing. this happens on every occurrence when filling vehicle. *tr

Everytime i fill up my 2006 dodge durango with gas to the full limit, gas spews back out of the tank neck onto the exterior of the car and onto the ground. the first time it did this after i bought it used from the dodge dealership, i got covered in gas because this had never happened before. there was a recall on the 05 models for the exact same problem, yet dodge will not admit that there is an issue with the 06 models. dealership service said that the new tank will cost over $600 out of my pocket to fix. this is a major safety issue, as there is no flap to close the hole where you stick the gas nozzle in, so if that is left open, wouldn't gas pour out in the car were to be overturned? *tr

During normal fuel fill-up procedures, whenever the fuel nozzle stops pumping fuel into the gas tank, a large amount of fuel is ejected from the gas fill-up door. this gasoline is sprayed over anyone and anything within approximately three feet of the vehicle in direct line with the fuel door, as well as spilling down the side of the vehicle itself and onto the ground. several other 2004-2006 dodge durango owners i know have this same issue, with no help to repair or reimburse for repair from chrysler's corporate office.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. the contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back from the fuel tank filler neck. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 111,000.

When filling up the gas tank it spews gas back out at you when it reaches full. i have used numerous different gas stations and they all do this.

2006 dodge durango sprays fuel at completion of fuel fill. the fuel spill could result in a fire, injury up to including death. the fuel fill spill has occurred at different gas stations and the issue began after 80,000 miles. *tr

Gas station fuel pumps do not automatically shut off when refueling vehicle resulting in fuel gushing out the filler pipe and spilling down the side of the vehicle. this occurs regardless of the gas station used and therefore appears to be a problem with the vehicle. *tr

I recently purchased a 2006 dodge durango slt. on every gasoline fill up, the gas pump does not get triggered to shut off and gasoline violently with force sprays a significant quantity of gasoline directly out of the fuel nozzle, down the vehicle, and onto anything within close proximity to the nozzle, then down to the ground, pump hose. if standing holding the nozzle, i have been sprayed with gasoline. this has occurred at every fill up, regardless of gas station i've tried. this is extremely dangerous, and i see via multiple sites is not limited to just my durango. *tr

My 2006 durango has 70,000 miles on it. in the past few weeks, my wife reported to me on three occasions that when she fills up the gas tank, the gas comes spewing out all over the ground, car, gas pump and anything else within a few feet of the nozzle. i witnessed it for myself yesterday. unbelievably dangerous! i've done some research and found out that the 2005 model of the same vehicle has had a recall for this same issue. i found many people describing the same problem on 2006 durangos. this safety issue needs to be addressed immediately before someone gets hurt (or worse). why hasn't the nhtsa done anything about this? i've heard estimates of $600-$900 for me to pay for the repair. dodge should pay for this wide-spread safety issue. *tr

When fueling my vehicle and the pump clicks off, fuel just spews from the tank all over the ground which angers me due to the environmental factor. this happens every time even at the lowest refuel speed. i noticed many complaints from other 2006 durango owners. those that had it diagnosed at a dodge dealer say that the gas tank needed to be replaced which solved the problem but costs $600.00 or more. this is the same problem that the 2005 durangos experienced and a recall was issued. this needs to be a mandated recall and replaced free. my car is a 2006 durango, 60,000 miles, 5.7 hemi, 2wd. *tr
