Fuel Pump problems of the 2006 Dodge Durango

We purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership 12-31-2111 after driving it to the gas station to fill it up I encountered a problem . The fuel pump shut off when the Durango was full but immediately after the gas came spraying out of the tank but the pump was off . It sprayed gas all over side of the vehicle and all over me and my clothes it was awful. This has happened 3 times so far and we have owned the vehicle for 3 weeks. After researching online we discovered there is a problem with the tank that crysler/Dodge knows about it but there is no recall yet for this year of the Durango.

When filling up with gasoline, upon the fuel pump turning off, the Durango's fuel tank will spray gasoline back out to the individual filling up, and leak fuel all over the vehicle and ground. This happens every time I fill up, regardless of filling station. This is documented in countless forums and videos online. The 2005 Durango has a recall for this as Dodge recognized the risk of a vehicle or fuel station fire. This is dangerous, easily repeatable, and terrible for the environment. And worse yet, Dodge even appears to be aware of the situation. This should be fixed by Dodge.

During fueling operations the vehicles fuel tank was almost full which triggered the fuel pump to shut off, and then immediately fuel began rushing out of the fueling nozzle of the vehicle getting on the side of the vehicle, my hand, foot and the ground. This has happened more than 60 times since owning the vehicle in 2006, and now happens every time I fill the tank to full. There was a similar problem with the 2005 Durango that justified a recall, and the same problem exists with the 2006, although there has been no recall. I hope that it doesn't take a major incident, fire or death before Chrysler takes this seriously and does the right tyhing by repairing the bad valve in these tanks.

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 unles shutting the fuel pump off before the tank is fuel. The gas will shot out, possible up to 1/8 of a gallon.

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.

Gas over flowing at the fuel pump when filling up. The pump wouldnt automaticly stop till after it was over flowing. Gas spilled on the paint and hands, cloths if your standing there and on the ground cause a possible fire hazard. Took to dealer said it was the gas tank. They recplaced it and no more problems. I dont have the old gas tank. $750. 00 for the repair.

Purchased a used 2006 Dodge Durango on June 9, 2010. Mileage was 50633. For the past 3 months during every fill-up, at various gas stations, fuel pump nozzle will click off when tank is full and then a few seconds later gasoline will forcibly flow from the tank spilling about a quart of fuel on the side of vehicle and on the cement. The only thing we have done to correct the failure is to partially fill the gas tank.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Durango. While adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel pump indicator informed the contact that the fuel tank was full. Fuel began spraying out of the vehicle onto the contact and the ground. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

Just purchased used 2006 Dodge Durango limited upon filling the fuel tank for the first time fuel pump shut off after about 4 gallons and gasoline spewed from tank and filler neck, continued to do the same thing unless I filled the tank very slowly. This seems to be pretty common problem with the Durango and is potentially a serious safety hazard not only to the people filling the vehicle but to others around, not to mention potential damage to vehicle finish.

We own a 2006 Dodge Durango that we purchased new. It now has approx. 34,000 miles. Within the last 3 months, the gas tank overflows whenever we fill up with gas. The fuel pump shuts off but then fuel comes gushing back up out of the tank. It runs all over down the side of the truck and splashes back usually landing on our feet and hands. I understand there was some type of recall for this same issue on 2005 Durangos.

I bought my Durango over a year and a half ago. This was in the spring when winter rolled around and cooler months all fuel pumps would over fill the fuel tank. Problem went away in the spring then this fall/winter the problem came back again. It acts as if the fuel vapor recovery system is becoming restricted with the cooler temperatures. Causing fuel to be burped out after the pump shuts off.

Fuel filler tube overflows after fuel pump at the gas station hits the auto shut-off point. Notified dealer who said they hadn't heard anything about a problem like that, but offered to look into it for a charge. Approximately 1-2 cups of fuel shoots out of the filler tube every time the vehicle is filled. The fuel sprays over whomever is filling the vehicle and is ruining the paint around the filler tube. There is an extreme fire/explosion danger as well as potential for damage to eyes, lungs, and skin. This is also damaging to the environment.
