Auxillary Tank problem of Dodge Durango
The vehicle involved was a 2006 Dodge Durango. While fueling the car at the gas station, the pump shuts off and a second or two later, about a half a gallon of gas sprays out. This problem keeps getting worse. I've tried to fill it up on the lowest setting and I've tried pulling the nozzle out of the tank some so the (harmful) vapors can escape. It is happening about 90% of the time and this is not a safe thing to have gas coming flying back out and getting over the ground, myself and others around me. This is a real safety hazard. I have found there is a lot of issues with the 2005 models and now the 2006's are having the same problem. Apparently the problem is still not fixed. This problem is way out of control. I will be posting my youtube video along with the hundreds of others to show how unsafe this issue is and how it is being handled by the manufacturer and safety organizations involved. Hopefully this issue gets resolved before a real injury is realized. The failure date was 08/06/2010.

Auxillary Tank problem of Nissan Pathfinder
The car is a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Nissan Pathfinder is 5N1AR18B68_. Starting last summer we initially noticed a problem with our gas gauge reading, but it seemed to go away. It is now happening frequently and almost caused an accident. We were in heavy traffic on a 4 lane and we thought we had enough gas, 1/4 tank?, but all of a sudden we ran out of gas. We were lucky that we were not hit by a semi truck. We fortunately were able to push it to the side of the road and wait for my son to come with a can of gas. We called dorschel Nissan in rochester and they agreed that it was a recall, we had went on your site and checked prior (10v075000). We scheduled an appointment. Now we received a call from them telling us that it is not covered, that it was a warranty extension item and that we are past the date?? wow, what customer service. I think this is a safety issue and that this is not a normal wear and tear item. They obviously have had problems with these sensors (80,000 recalls?) now the gas gauge is doing other things, saying we don't have any gas when we just filled up?. This problem occurred on 07/15/2013.
