1 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2011

Filling gas tank at fuel pump; set the auto-fil on pump; handle clicked (as normal when a tank is full) as I reached to grab the handle to put away - right before I touch the handle gas is regurgitated and spewed all over me and the side o f the vehicle. I reported the issue to the gas station clerk as a faulty pump and he put an out of order sign on it. Then less than a week later it does the same thing and conviently I see another Dodge Durango of similar body style and the owner smirks, "your's hates gas too!" leading me to believe it is a defect. We started chatting and he showed me a youtube video of another Durango doing the same thing and said hope you have an extended warranty. Took the vehicle to earnhardt Dodge where the vehicle was purchased with a lifetime-warranty and they fixed January 10th 2012 for the deductible price of $100. However, further investigation on my part reveals that some (not all were included, but yet some not included suffer the same symptom) 2005 Dodge Durango were recalled for a faulty gas tank chek-valve that resulted in the exact same parts being replaced: the tank and inlet assembly. Since these are the same parts that were replaced because of the my fuel leak issue - I can only believe that the recall should be extended to cover all similar body style Durango's as it is obviously not a problem exclusive to the 2005 Dodge Durango which shares a body style 2004/5-2009.
