Gas spills from vehicle when we stop refilling the vehicle. It surges from the tank due to a defective check valve. Gas spills on the vehicle and ground, creating an extreme safety hazard.

There are hundreds of examples of other people having the same problem, but Chrysler refuses to fix any but the few vehicles included in the recall. Chrysler just advised us to get the problem fixed on our own, send them the bill, and they will consider repaying us. This is not right. Chrysler knows they have this problem, but are evidently doing everything they can to not fix our vehicle, along with thousands of other similarly affected vehicles. The NHTSA should widen the recall, as this is a serious defect that could cause serious fire and environmental damage.

Dear NHTSA, your website lists some 300 or more complaints regarding this vehicle and problem described below. Please move to force a solution from Chrysler before tragendy strikes! 2005 Durangos have been recalled for this exact same problem and it obviously continued in the 2006 models. Thanks. My 2006 Dodge Durango limited began having issues with the fuel tank over a year ago. Every time I fill up the tank, after the nozzle automatically shuts off, gas spews back out of the car onto me and the exterior of the vehicle. And the serb. I called Chrysler about the issue but they (Chrysler) said they were choosing not to assist in replacing the fuel tank, and at this time has not recalled for this safety issue.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango with approximately 51,000 miles. When I fill the fuel tank, gasoline gushes out of the fuel opening within a second or two after the pump shuts off.

The 2005 recall NHTSA campaign number: 09v003000 and09v003000 is the exact same issue that Dodge and NHTSA is obviously aware of. My research shows that hundreds of complaints have been made about this issue. Please take the necessary action for a recall.

When filling the tank with gas, at end of fill up gas will spewl out onto car, ground, and myself!! took to dealer was told check valve seal had deteriorated, would need to replace fuel tank. Repair plus labor would be at least $800. Contacted Dodge Chrysler by email, was called that day. Excellent pr but was told there was no recall at this time for this problem,. There have been other complaints of this problem but not enought to do a recall. Told if I pay the first $200 they would cover the rest, if a recall happens I would be reimbursed this cost. I do not feel that anyone owning this vehicle should be responsible for the cost of this defective regardless of mileage on car. This is a factory defective not caused by ownership. I believe this is a safety hazard, does something serious have to happened to someone and their car before this is taken care of?.

I have a 2006 model year Dodge Durango. Every time I fill the gas tank it sprays out of the filler neck when the nozzle shuts off. Every time. I saw where there was a recall on the 2005 model Durangos for the same reason. How many people have to be injured or killed before there is a recall on the rest of the defective units?.

Everytime I fill up my 2006 Dodge Durango with gas to the full limit, gas spews back out of the tank neck onto the exterior of the car and onto the ground. The first time it did this after I bought it used from the Dodge dealership, I got covered in gas because this had never happened before. There was a recall on the 05 models for the exact same problem, yet Dodge will not admit that there is an issue with the 06 models. Dealership service said that the new tank will cost over $600 out of my pocket to fix. This is a major safety issue, as there is no flap to close the hole where you stick the gas nozzle in, so if that is left open, wouldn't gas pour out in the car were to be overturned?.
