Tank Mounting problems of the 2005 Dodge Durango

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that after refueling, a large amount of fuel would continue to emit from the filler neck and onto the ground and the contact's clothing. There was a recall associated with the failure under NHTSA campaign number 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap); however the contact's VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the fuel tank inlet check valves were being replaced. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.

Gas splashes out on myself and the car and the ground everytime I fill up with gasoline. It has been reported and verified that in Jan of '09 there was a massive recall on 2005 Durangos regarding this safety hazard. I took my vehicle in to a local Chrysler dealer and they charged me $75. 00 to tell me there was nothing wrong with my car and that they did not have any recall notices for my year of Durango. I have the complaint number from the nhtsb announcing the massive recall of these particular vehicles. When I complained again, I was told the recall did not include my VIN number. This is unacceptable. A fire could start or worse yet , I could catch on fire with the amount of backsplash I receive everytime I fill the gas tank up fully. This is a serious defect on Chrysler's part and it needs to be repaired immediately. At the high price of fuel I do not expect to be doused with a shower of gas, nor do other customers' parked near my car at the gas station.

2005 Dodge Durango - approximately a pint to a quart of fuel overflows from fuel filler tube when filling up. There was an apparent recall on this problem but Chrysler/Dodge stated that my VIN number is not covered under the recall. Took vehicle in for inspection to a dealer. Quoted over $1100 for replacing whole fuel tank assembly in order to fix problem. Chrysler said they would cover all but 369. 50 and that the company normally does not cover any amount of repair outside of warranty or a recall. Clearly, this should be a recall issue as many other 2005 Durango owners are experiencing the same problem. Problem has persisted since purchasing from a friend's lease turn-in (approx 42k mi). Currently have approx 78k miles. Chrysler should cover this defect in full in that it is a serious safety issue and is not a problem stemming from wear and tear or abuse.

2005 Dodge Durango spills large amounts of gas when tank is filled.

When filling up the gas tank, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not function properly. It does not close and gas always spills out. I am afraid that gas spills out while driving. At times,with the keys in the ignition, the car will turn off by itself if I am moving slowly. I bought this truck in 2005. The first year, I brought the car in for stalling on its own. The dealership told me that there was nothing that they could do and the car did not have a problem. I brought the truck in about 3 times for the same problem and every time, nothing was resolved. After that I did not have the money or the time to continue bringing the truck in for a problem that the dealership was saying they could not find. Over the years, I have just dealt with this truck stalling on its own. About 1 year ago, I noticed that the car started spilling out gas if it was filled up. I did not know there was a recall until I researched the problem online. I found that there was a recall. I contact Chrysler customer care, they looked up my VIN # and told me that they did not have any recalls listed on my particular truck. I explained to the representative that my car had a problem with the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve and that gas spilled out. I told them that I was afraid that gas was spilling from the tank while I was driving. The representative told me that there was nothing that they could do and told me to take the truck to the dealership. I am afraid that if I take the truck to the dealership I will be responsible for all of the expensive charges to fix this problem. I do not have the money for this since I am paying $700 a month for a truck that should never have been financed at that amount in the first place and is not worth the amount still owed. I feel like I was taken advantage of!! please help!!!.

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.

When filling fuel tank, a large amount of fuel sprays out right after the pump shuts off. Easily a quart of gas sprays everywhere. Even refueling slowly does not prevent this. Spilled gas presents a fire hazard.

I own a 2005 Dodge Durango VIN 1d8hb48dx5f568581. When refueling the vehicle, fuel over flows onto the vehicle and ground at the end of the fueling process every time you fill the tank. My research has shown there was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the VIN was not included in the recall and that I would need to bring the vehicle to an authorized service station and pay for the diagnostic charge without reimbursement. In addition, they would not guarantee to pay for the repair, only the possibility of helping with payment. Felt this was unsatisfactory due to Dodge already recalling some 2005 Dodge Durangos and the apparent continuation of this problem outside of the acceptable VIN number range. No further assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. I am unable to fill the fuel tank with gasoline and could only refuel with small amounts of gasoline at a time. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. The contact was refueling the vehicle when the fuel tank overflowed at the end of fueling and began spilling onto the ground. The contact stated there was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 09v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the VIN was not included in the recall. No further assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that he was unable to fill the fuel tank with gasoline and could only refuel with small amounts of gasoline at a time. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Vehicle gas tank overflows when gas is pumped until gas pump autostops. A large amount of fuel spills out in 1-5 seconds after. I have had this happen over two years now. Dealer seems to not want to fix. Recalls are conveniently not for the vehicle in question. Seems small amount of VIN qualify.

There is no particular event leading up to the following failure--it happened and then never stopped happening. Every time my 2005 Dodge Durango is refueled, the gasoline backwashes out of the filler tube. A significant amount of fuel gushes out of the filler tube requiring that I Dodge the fountain of fuel. This is a serious safety issue. My research revealed that a recall had been placed on this model for the same symptoms, but Dodge claims that my VIN isn't wasn't included in the recall. They suggested I take it to a local dealer for a diagnostic, which cost $70. The diagnosis is that the charcoal evap canister is filled with "liquid" caused by overfilling the tank and Dodge refuses to cover the repair. I contend that the evap issue is caused by the very problem of the fuel backwash. My visit to Dodgeforum. Com revealed that the fuel overflow is a common problem. Given the existing recall, it's obvious this is a safety problem that Dodge should be required to correct.

2005 Dodge Durango fuel overflow/splash. About a year ago I noticed the fuel pump would not shut off when refueling which cause a great amount of fuel to splash back at the person filling the tank. I took my vehicle in for maintenance and was told by Dodge that it was not under recall and it would cost me $600 plus to fix. I went to a different dealer recently and was told the same. This is a severe safety issue! believe this is related to NHTSA action number : rq08005.

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango that was manufactured 03/2005. I have a fuel tank that is malfunctioning just like what was referenced in your case #: 09v003000. I have been in contact with the local dealership and the national Dodge website and they tell me that the recall does not effect my vehicle. However, the recall is for the exact same thing. They are wanting 400 to replace this tank. I feel that it is a huge hazard. Everytime I get gas it spits back at me and all over the ground some times a very large amount.

This is regarding the latest safety recall notice h45 to my 2005 Dodge Durango SUV to the fuel tank inlet check valve. Since receiving this notice I have taken my car to Dodge dealer in mount airy, maryland, a total of six times, which does not include visits to order parts and return when the part was received, approximately twelve time, I've been to this dealer. I have been very patient trying to work with Dodge, but I am losing patience, as well as any confidence in chryslers statement were sorry for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety as stated in their notice. Each time they have worked on my car, and I fill the tank, it continues to spew gas all over me, my car, the ground, until one day given the situation, gas fumes igniting and starting a critical mishap. This is a dangerous situation and Chrysler refuses to address, on my behalf. After my third visit, I attempted to contact Chrysler at 800-853-1403, with my frustrations, and was told there was nothing they could do, and I needed to work with my dealer in mt. Airy to resolve the problem. This latest visit, October 19, 2009, where they supposedly replaced the entire tank, has left me with additional problems. The engine light stays on if fuel is below a quarter of a tank (which has never occurred before) and the odometer statement (where the numbers are) reads gascap, even though I replace the gas cap no differently than I have for the past five years. I am very concerned about my safety as well as anyone that happens to be around me at the time of fill-up. Please advise me on anything that I can do at this point. I am speaking with an attorney, but dont feel that I should have to go this route. Your prompt reply is requested.

While filling up the fuel tank (every time), fuel pours (shoots) out through the filler neck once the tank is filled. Fuel either rushes out and down the outside of the vehicle or it squirts out dangerously with a significant amount of force. Researching this problem, I have found an official recall from Dodge for 2005 Durangos, but calls to Dodge and inquiries on their website indicate that my particular vehicle is not covered. This is a dangerous situation that could easily lead to fire, etc. As you can imagine, I am reluctant to fill up my vehicle while my children are in the car due to the increased risk of spilled gasoline on the car, sidewalk and sometimes all the way to the pump itself. I have read that you were able to help others with this ongoing problem and I am asking for your help in this matter and sincerely appreciate your consideration. This is my second submission as I have not heard back from you when I initially submitted this complaint.

Dodge Durango 2005, recently has begun to blow gas out of the tank after filling. Every time I fill the tank a large amount of gasoline explodes from the tank and constitutes a nuisance and a serious hazard due to the gas spill.

There was no incident that led to this happening. It seemed to begin for no reason. Whenever I fill my gas tank, if I do not stop the pump before the tank is full, it overflows. This happens any time I fill the tank full. A significant amount of gasoline spills when this happens. Dodge issued a recall for this exact problem on 26,000 other 2005 Dodge Durangos, but refuses to include my vehicle in this recall #05v-034. I have no repaired the problem.

When the tank was filled with gas and the auto shut off on the dispenser engaged, gas would spew out of the vehicle under very high pressure. . The fueling problem is one that confounds me. If you allow the fuel dispenser to pump until it automatically stops, you will be greeted with a high pressure spray of fuel that will cover you and anyone standing on the opposite side of the pump. It has been this way for several years. It seems that there are many recalls for check valves in fuel tanks, but none of them cover my VIN number. The Dodge place would be happy to repair the problem for just over $700 according to my quote, an amount that unwitting fuel customers on the opposite side of the pumps from me might think worthwhile. On more than one occasion, my wife and I have been on the receiving end of that fine fuel spray, only to wonder why Dodge will not fix an obvious safety problem.

Bought car in 2007 had to replace one key because of electronics at 180 dollars each, 2009 changed car battery had to reset keys at 80 dollars, 2011 keys need replaced again at 130 dollars each. Bad design so they can keep fleasing you for money. Also had fuel tank replaced, brake lines rubbed together causing hole in line and loss of brakes, dust cover on drivers seat belt broke off, screws in back tail gate keep loosening and falling out.

When pumping gas, something in the gas tank will not shut off the gas pumping into the tank. If you are attempting to fill the tank, a large amount of gas spills everywhere including on the person pumping gas, on the car and all over the ground as the gas station. This is not alleviated from constantly pumping it by hand instead of the automatic. Our dealership said they have seen several of these complaints. The only way to correct is replacing the entire gas tank. I am concerned about the risk of fire due to the amount of gas just from filling tank. This has occurred since we purchased our used vehicle.
