I just purchased a used Dodge Durango with 28,900 miles on it. I discovered beginnig the day I bought it that it is impossible to put gasoline into the Durango without it dumping out approximately a large amount after the hose shuts off. It does not seem to matter if it is an attempt to fill the tank or just to add any amount of gasoline to the vehicle. It always does it about 1 or 2 seconds after the pump clicks off. The gasoline goes down the side of the vehicle and there is always a large puddle on the ground under the vehicle. I am afraid that someday it will catch on fire due to the excessive amount of fuel loss. The is also always a gasoline smell inside the passenger compartment after filling the tank. I have seen many complaints online and also reported to the ntsb regarding this issue. Why is there not a recall?.
When fueling once tank is full and pump shtus off, a moderate amount of gasoline will spew from the filler neck. Even if you slow the pump to a very slow rate before it becomes completly full you can hear the air releasing from the tank and without warning it still spills. This has occured the entire time I have owned the vehicle, and even while under warranty dealer stated their was nothing they could do besides insist I not fill completly up. Anywhere from a footprint size puddle to a puddle covering the rear axle length of vehicle occurs. After installing dual exhaust on vehicle I am very nervous of letting this continue and risk gasoline spilling onto hot pipe igniting a fire, let alone any clearcoat damage that may have already been done to paint. Lots of complaints here as welll as elsewhere on numerous Dodge forums. Please assist.
When filling up gas tank, a good amount gas spills out after pump shuts off. There was a recall issued for 2005 Durango for this exact failure, but the recall does not cover my 2007 Durango. I have read of many other failures for 2006-2008 Durangos on the internet, so Dodge has not fixed this.
I own a 2007 Durango. About six months ago, I noticed that when fueling up, when the tank was full, gas was blowing out of the fill valve while the gas nozzle was still in the fill valve. I talked to the dealer about it, but the service manager basically blew me off, like it was my fault. I started watching whether the amount of fuel in the tank upon filling up mattered--it did not. The fuel would spill out no matter if the tank was on empty, 1/4 full, 1/2 or 3/4 full. I tried fueling up first thing in the morning thinking heat had something to do with it--it didn't the fuel still spewed out. These things were tried as a result of statements made by the service manager.
