31 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2011

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 differnt 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?.
