Tank Mounting problems of the 2006 Dodge Durango

I have filled up my vehicle on multiple occasions since I have purchased this vehicle used. Every time I fill it up the gas tank bubbles and is shoots a decent amount of gas out of the tank onto the ground and down the side of my car. This causes my car to smell like gasoline and leaves a puddle of approx 1 cup of gas on the ground. At first I thought it was a particular gas stations nozzle, but after going to multiple different stations, I have encountered the same problem. I have not contacted Dodge about this problem, but I will be soon. I know there currenlty is no recal for this, but there should be, this is an extreme safety hazard to have gas flying out of the gas tank.

At about 58,000 miles my 2006 Dodge Durango began to overflow or spit back a large amount of fuel when topping off the tank. The amount of fuel is about 1/2 to 1 gallon in size and spits out of the filler neck in a flowing spray. It does this every time I fill it till the pump auto shuts off.

A large amount of fuel sprays out of fuel filler when gasoline pump shuts off at tank full.

During normal fuel fill-up procedures, whenever the fuel nozzle stops pumping fuel into the gas tank, a large amount of fuel is ejected from the gas fill-up door. This gasoline is sprayed over anyone and anything within approximately three feet of the vehicle in direct line with the fuel door, as well as spilling down the side of the vehicle itself and onto the ground. Several other 2004-2006 Dodge Durango owners I know have this same issue, with no help to repair or reimburse for repair from Chrysler's corporate office.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Durango. While adding fuel to the vehicle the contact noticed that an excessive amount of fuel sprayed back on her, the ground and the vehicle. She also stated that occasionally a few days later the smell of fuel was in the vehicle. She referenced recall 05v034000, fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap and stated that she did not understand why this recall did not include the 2006 vehicles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised her that the entire fuel tank needed replacing. She stated that the pre-owned vehicle was purchased on October 15, 2010 and she noticed the failure, the following day. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,800 and the current mileage was 99,300.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that every time I fill up at the gas station, when the tank gets full, the nozzle clicks and a rush of gas spills out. The Dodge dealer says it's not covered under a recall covering the same problem on other vehicles. I see there is a recall for 2005 Durango's but not 2006's. I have investigated this complaint on the internet and find many 2006 Durango owners having the same problem. I am seriously concerned that there will be an explosion due to the amount of gas spraying out. The dealer indicated that they were "unable to duplicate" the problem, but it happens at every time I fill up at every gas station that I have been using.

Fuel tank overflow I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that has in the past 2 months developed a problem. Every time I fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. This is a very unsafe situation due to every time I fill up gas runs down the side of my truck and creates a puddle on the ground which could catch on fire! I have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation I am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 Dodge Durango's and not 2006. I believe a recall should be initiated for the 2006's as I have seen a lot of postings in forums of many 2006 Durango's experiencing the same problem, it appears to be a factory defect as it just started two months ago after about 70,000 miles.

Our 2006 Dodge Durango spits a large amount of gas out during refueling. When the tank is full and the pump shuts off the gas spits out all over you and the ground. There is about 20 ounces or so that does this. It happens everytime you fill the tank. The dealer said it was a device in the filler neck that goes bad often. This is a serious fire hazard and needs to be addressed.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango and for the past few months every time I fill my gas tank and it even gets remotely close to full it sprays fuel at me everywhere and spills tons on the ground. I can't leave it for a second and it can't get full or it's horrible. I see that the 2005 Durango's had a big recall for the same exact incident but nothing for the 2006's. I called the dealership and I'm told that the whole fuel tank needs to be replaced. This is a huge safety issue do to the amount of gas that sprays out and nothing can really be done to stop it except me pay to replace it or to not fill my tank which is a pain. My vehicle is not that old for this to be happening. Why is 2005 covered but not 2006?.

Everytime I have filled up my gas tank for the past 2 months it overflows. This causes a fair amount of gasoline to flow out of the fill area and onto the ground. There is so much that on several occasions I have had to notify the gas attendants on duty so proper measure can be taken for the spill due to the potential fire hazard involved. On December 14th I went to a dealership to have vehicle assessed, and they advised it is the fuel tank check valve that is not working properly. It will cost $721 to replace because the check valve is part of the whole fuel tank assembly. To keep this from happening, until I can afford to replace the tank, I will try to not fill up my tank completely.

Fuel overflow spills out of gas tank when the tank gets full. Spillage amount is between 1/4 and 1/3 of a gallon each tine the tank is filled to the top. The fuel spits out of the fill receptacle like it is under pressure.

Whenever we try to fill gas the gas comes spraying back out going on the ground, on the side of the Durango and on us. We have tried numerous gas stations in several towns, different pumps at those stations and different kinds of gas. The result is always the same. Currently we try to guess how many gallons we can put in and try to stop the pump in time but this is a huge inconvenience. I can't imagine how many gallons of gas we have paid for that went everywhere but in the gas tank not to mention all the car washes we've paid for to wash the gas off the paint. We've even had gas station attendants approach us about the amount of gas on the ground.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango, an excessive amount of fuel spillage from the fuel tank. The failure occurs whenever fuel is dispensed into the fuel tank, followed by fuel spraying out of the tank. The fuel nozzle stops when the tank was full with fuel continuously spraying out of the tank. The dealer has the vehicle and is replacing the carbon canister. The symptoms are the same as recall 05v-034.

I've owned my Durango for 3 years, but the past 6 months when I go to fill up my gas tank it overflows and goes all over the ground and my car. It is not a small amount of gas pouring out of the gas tank. This happens everytime I fill up gas, which is once a week. Most times I have to rush home or to my destination to clean the gas off of my car.

When filling vehicle with fuel at several different gas stations, as the gas tank approaches full and the nozzle shuts off, a significant amount of fuel sprays out of the filler tube. It has sprayed me twice and today sprayed the gas pump unit as it is under pressure when it overfills.

Fuel tank overflow I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that I absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 2 months has developed a problem. Every time I fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense in waste of extra gas I need to pay for. But, I have gas dripping down the side of my truck and in between my bumper fascia. And, this also causes a great scent of gasoline that also somehow gets into the vehicle, and lingers for quite a bit of time afterwards. I hate the smell of gas. I now fill up when I do not have my3 kids in the truck due to the smell and gas fumes are known to cause cancer. I have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation I am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 Dodge Durango's and not 2006. I have also been on the phone with Dodge about this problem many times they keep telling me they never heard of the problem keep telling them same problem as the o5. I would like to have this situation investigated. I would like to request a recall for 2006 Dodge Durango's be considered as well. It does make me feel a little better knowing I am not alone with this problem. This is still a consistent problem that really, for safety reason must be resolved. Unfortunately, there are many inconsiderate people that I have come across at gas stations that take pleasure in discarding their lit cigarettes onto the ground. And, I will be very upset (if I was to live) if that ignited light came in contact with gas that has spilled out of my vehicle. I greatly thank you for taking the time to read my concern. And, I really am hoping that you can help to resolve my situation, and others in my area.

When I fill up my gas tank, the gas does not shut off, but overflows spewing gasoline out all over the place. The last two times I filled up, there was just a small amount which overflowed. Today I was doused with gasoline from my waist to my ankles.

Drive to any gas station, with gas gauge on anywhere from empty to a quarter full. Insert gas pump nozzle into vehicle with normal care. Start to pump gas. Activate the "no hands" lever. When the tank is full, the pump automatically stops. A few seconds later, a significant amount of gas burps back out of the vehicle. Enough fuel is spilled to wash all down the side of the vehicle and splash onto the operator. An ignition source would cause quite a fire. This spill has happened regularly for a few years and the only way to prevent it is to intentionally stop the pump before the tank is full. This is not an operator issue - it happens to whomever pumps the gas, at any gas station. It has happened for a few years. As I searched the internet for the repair, I see a large number of identical complaints, and even videos with the exact issue. So I finally decided to add my voice to the mix.

Fuel tank overflow I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that I absolutely "love" except the fact that the past 12 months has developed a problem. Every time I fill up with gas (even at different stations), my gas tank over fills and gas is "gushing" out and a good amount is lost. My concern is not so much the expense in waste of extra gas I need to pay for. But, I have gas dripping down the side of my truck and in between my bumper fascia. And, this also causes a great scent of gasoline that also somehow gets into the vehicle, and lingers for quite a bit of time afterwards. I have purchased this vehicle mainly for the safety and security it has given me while driving my 4 year old son. He hates the smell of gas. I now fill up when I do not have him in the truck. I have done some research and discover a recall id# 58886 which seems to describe the same exact situation I am having. Unfortunate for me, this recall was for 2005 Dodge Durango's and not 2006. I would like to have this situation investigated. I would like to request a recall for 2006 Dodge Durango's be considered as well. In speaking with my gas station petroleum pumper's, they all (at various stations such as sunoco and hess) mention to me that a lot of Durango that come in have that problem. So, it does make me feel better knowing I am not alone. This is still a consistent problem that really, for safety reason must be resolved. Unfortunately, there are many inconsiderate people that I have come across at gas stations that take pleasure in discarding their lit cigarettes onto the ground.
