38 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2010

When I fill my truck with gas it spews out. I have gotten to where I never completely fill my truck. When is someone going to investigate this and issue a recall? I have a feeling that the only way we Dodge owners get this problem fixed is if someone is hurt while trying to fill their truck. All it would take is one spark when the gas spills out. Please, force Dodge to fix this issue before we hear on the news that someone is injured.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that I purchased in March, 2010. The last 4 times I have filled my vehicle up with gas, when I stop, a huge amount of gas comes shooting back out of the vehicle soaking me, my clothes, my vehicle and pouring onto the ground. The last time I even attempted to begin putting gas into the vehile, it shot out on me, vehicle and ground. It did this 3 times while I was trying to put gas in my vehicle. I am very concerned for my personal safety. What can be done to correct this at no cost?.

Failure Date: 10/02/2010

My 2006 Dodge Durango just turned 50,000 miles and all of a sudden every time I fill up on gas the gasoline shoots back out at me. It soaks me, the car, the outside of my car and the ground. This is a fire hazard and a waste of money. I have contacted Dodge and this car is not in a recall. I understand 2005 models were recalled for same exact problem. This is very worrisome and very scary.

46 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

Beginning about a year and a half ago, my 2006 Dodge Durango slt began spewing gasoline everytime I filled my car at the gas station. It continues to do this since that time and even though Dodge has issued a technical service bulletin for this problem, since my car's VIN is not listed as eligible for the extended warranty and repair I am out of luck. I filed an appeal with Dodge and it seems the criteria for whether or not the repair will be covered is based on whether I am a good Dodge customer. Questions such as did I use the dealership for maintenance, did I own other Dodge cars, etc. I think that since this is a known problem, that Dodge should stand behind its cars and make the repair. This attitude guarantees that I will not be a Dodge customer in the future.

48 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2010

Just purchased a 2006 Durango and filled with gas. Gas sprayed all over the vehicle and ground. Online postings shows this to be common but that only 2005 models were recalled, though the exact same problem. As a vehicle owner with a young family this concerns me. As an insurance investigator this disturbs me. I will be taking to a dealer in the next week or two in sioux falls, sd. Can anyone advise me of what I should say, since I anticipate they will not do anything given it's not part of the recall--it being an 06 and not an 05? as an investigator myself, I'd like to know if I can assist in gathering more information on this safety/environmental issue? thank you.

49 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2010

When pumping gas the pump shuts off and then the gas shoots out all over me and the side of the car. It happens every time I get gas and covers me and the side of the car with the spillage. Nothing has been done to fix the problem. I was told because I bought it used it was not something the company would fix. I hope a fire does not occur because of this overflow problem.

Failure Date: 03/13/2010

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango, and have had it for a year and a half. The fuel overspray has been a problem since the beginning. If I leave it on the auto fill it will click off and puke almost a full quart of fuel on the ground. If I hand fill it at a slower rate it will puke only about a pint. This last time in a snowstorm it sprayed upward and not just out, had I not been wearing glasses I would have had fuel in the eyes. Potential for lost eyesight for the shorter people.

My wife has a 2006 Dodge Durango that everytime you fill it up gas spits out all over the place. I researched on-line and found that there was a recall on the 2005 models. I also contacted my dealer with no help from them. It seems to me if they are having this problem on several year models it should be a recall before someone get hurt.
