WHEN REFUELING GAS PUMPS AUTOMATICALLY STOP TOO LATE RESULTING IN FUEL SPILLING OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW YEARS AGO SPORADICALLY BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS REFUELED.
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH AUTO SHUT OFF NOZZLE IT WILL SPIT BACK A CUP OR MORE OF GAS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. THIS IS WITH VEHICLE STANDING STILL. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME WITH ANY FUEL PUMP.
WHEN FUELING YOU HAVE TO SHUT OFF GAS BEFORE FULL BECAUSE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND SPRAY OUT. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN PUTTING IN FUEL. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FUELING I HAVE TO MAKE SURE AND SHUT OFF BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL.
UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WOULD SPEW OUT GETTING HANDS/CLOTHES/GROUND WET WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ERRATIC TIMES, NEVER A RHYME OR REASON. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED AND SAW NO RECALL INFORMATION. NOW VEHICLE IS READING A P0430 CODE, O2 SENSORS. I AM THINKING THERE MUST BE A CONNECTION AS I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE SAME NATURE WITH IT BEING CONNECTED TO THE SAME ENGINE CODE. TAKING TO A DEALER NEXT WEEK. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE DETERMINED MALFUNCTION WAS A FAULTY FUEL CHECK VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. ..UPDATED 04-29-14 *BF
EVERY SINGLE TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK ON MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED GAS OVERFLOWS. THERE IS ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT USUALLY SPRAYS OUT. I ESTIMATE THAT 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER GAS STATION PATRONS! ALTHOUGH NONE IS NOTICEABLE YET, THERE WILL SURELY BE EVENTUAL PAINT DAMAGE ON THE AFFECTED ARE OF THE BODY. *TR
AS WITH THE 2005 DURANGOS & THE MANY 2007 DURANGO COMPLAINTS, I TOO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SPEWING OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (FUEL INTAKE CHECK VALVE) IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY & ALLOWS QUITE A BIT OF FUEL TO SHOOT OUT FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT HAS ALSO CAUSED THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE TO BEGIN BUBBLING UP, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A RUSTING ISSUE. I HAVE TO USE THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER BRUSH AT THE PUMP STATION TO WIPE THE EXCESS FUEL OFF MY VEHICLE TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER BUBBLING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS REPORTED & A RECALL ISSUED. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *TR
EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK, IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT ME. THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF WILL TRIP FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A BUNCH OF GAS SQUIRTING BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. *TR
WHEN FUELING MY DURANGO, THE GAS PUMP WILL KICK OFF BUT A SHORT TIME LATER GAS WILL SPILL/SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS GAS PUMPS AND PUMP RATES ALL RESULTING IN THE SAME ACTIONS, USUALLY A GAS SOAKED SLEEVE, GAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. IT IS TO THE POINT MY WIFE IS SCARED TO FUEL OUR DURANGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SEEM TO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SUCH PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE IT RESULTS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR
MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 LIMITED OVERFLOWS GASOLINE AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK EACH TIME I ALLOW THE AUTO-SHUTOFF TO FILL THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. THE FUEL SHUTOFF ALWAYS WORKS, BUT A SECOND OR SO LATER, A LARGE SPRAY OF PRESSURIZED FUEL SQUIRTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FROM AROUND THE FUEL NOZZLE. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION AND NO MATTER WHAT TEMPERATURE OR PRIOR FUEL LEVEL. IT HAS HAPPENED CONTINUALLY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. I CAN PREVENT THE OVERSPRAY BY SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL AND ALLOWING THE NOZZLE TO STAND FOR 20 SECONDS BEFORE REMOVING IT. THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS I HAVE TALKED TO DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A FIRE-SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS POINTNG OUTWARD, AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO A LOOSE TIE ROD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THERE WAS A RECALL POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V386000 (STEERING); AND THE CONTACT PLANNED TO NOTIFY THE DEALER TO VERIFY WHETHER THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER REFUELING, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
WHEN FUELING ONCE TANK IS FULL AND PUMP SHUTS 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 COMPLETELY FULL YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR RELEASING FROM THE TANK AND WITHOUT WARNING IT STILL SPILLS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 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 COMPLETELY 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 WELL AS ELSEWHERE ON NUMEROUS DODGE FORUMS. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR
FUEL SPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. WHEN PUMP SENSES TANK IS FULL, IT SHUTS OFF AND MOMENTS LATER FUEL SPOUTS OUT OF CAR FROM FILL TUBE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 3/20/11; THIS IS ON ONGOING PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR
FUEL SPILL OCCURS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. WHEN PUMP SENSES TANK IS FULL, IT SHUTS OFF AND MOMENTS LATER FUEL SPOUTS OUT OF CAR FROM FILL TUBE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOWLY. IN NEW YORK MOST STATIONS ARE SELF SERVICE AND REQUIRE YOU HOLD THE TRIGGER OF PUMP NOZZLE; ONE'S HAND (OR WORSE) IS FREQUENTLY SPRAYED WITH FUEL. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 12/10; THIS IS ON ONGOING PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR
MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY WIFE WAS FUELING UP THE CAR AND WAS DOUSED WITH GAS ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ENGAGED ON THE FUEL PUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THING, BUT THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE 2005 DURANGOS ARE UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY IGNORED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR HUMAN LIFE/ HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT! *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND HAD BEEN A RECURRING FAILURE FOR APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) WHICH APPLIED TO THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL YET THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AGREED TO ASSIST WITH FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.
WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS AT MANY STATIONS, THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF BUT THEN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF GAS "BURPS" BACK OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR
MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT STARTED OVERFLOWING DURING PUMPING GAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ONCE THE TANK FILLS UP, IT SHOOTS ABOUT 500 ML OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP, SO I TRIED DIFFERENT STATION AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AND ALWAYS THE SAME RESULT. I ALSO TRIED TO FILL UP THE TANK ABOUT 90% OF THE WAY, PULL OUT THE PUMP TO LET IT VENT, AND THEN CONTINUE PUMPING AFTER THE TANK WAS VENTED. THIS DIDNT HELP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I SHOOTS A HALF LITER OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND THAT SOAKES INTO THE GROUND, POOLS ON THE GROUND, AND RUNS ALL OVER THE CAR. IF SOMEONE WAS SMOKING OR SOMETHING SPARKED, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE KILLED. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO SOME DEGREE EVEN WHILE KNOWING IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE TANK ON MY 2007 DURANGO 5.7L 4X4 THE AUTO FUEL SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK RESULTING IN A MAJOR FUEL SPILL. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AS WELL AS A THERMAL EVENT HAZARD (FIRE HAZARD). HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS THAT I'VE USED IN THE LAST 5 FILL-UPS. I NOW HAVE TO TURN THE ELECTRICAL ON TO VIEW THE FUEL GAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND STOP THE DELIVERY PUMP MANUALLY. *TR
MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FILLING IT WITH GAS. I JUST PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2010 AND EVERYTIME I GET GAS I HAVE TO VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND BEGINS TO SPEW GAS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND HAS HAPPENED TO FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAS IT SPEWS THAT IT MAY SPARK A FIRE OR WORSE YET SOMEONE GET DOUSED WITH GASOLINE. IT IS QUITE A SPEW. EVEN WHEN I MANUALLY PUMP IT WILL STILL SPEW. IT IS VERY SCARY! THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! *TR
OUR 2007 DURANGO STARTED HAVING FUEL SPIT BACK AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME A COMPLETE FILL IS PERFORMED. THE SPIT BACK IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT, SPRAYING BACK OUT OF THE FILL NOZZLE AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. A SHORT TIME PRIOR TO THE 1ST OCCURRENCE OF SPIT BACK THE LOOSE GAS CAP INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, ALTHOUGH THE CAP WAS VERIFIED AS CLOSED. *TR
AT THE FINISH OF FUELING THE GAS TANK SPITS ABOUT A QUART OR TWO OF GAS, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TANK. THIS JUST STARTED ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES, THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THIS DIDN'T USE TO HAPPEN. AND THIS IS MY EXPENSE TO FIX??? THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. GAS SPEWING EVERYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE GAS TANK I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" REPLACED. ALL GAUGES WENT CRAZY, NO TURN INDICATORS, ALL BEEPERS BEEPING, ALL GAUGE LIGHTS ON, COULDN'T TELL WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BECAUSE ALL GEAR LIGHTS LIT UP, NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS, NO FAN, HEATER OR DEFROST. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LIGHTS AND GAUGES AND LIGHTS WERE STILL LIT UP! LIKE THE CAR WAS POSSESSED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE CAR SEEMED TO RESET. ONLY LASTED 100 MILES BEFORE THE SAME SYMPTOMS RECURRED. TO THE SHOP THE CAR GOES... "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" OUT AT 62000 MILES. COST ABOUT $800...OUT OF WARRANTY BY 10000 MILES. NOW THE FUELING ISSUE. WOW! NOT GOOD. *TR
WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO UP WITH GAS, THE GAS OVER FLOWS AND SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER INLET AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF SPEWING GAS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON MY PERSON. MY DURANGO HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS JUST STARTED DOING THIS THE PAST 1.5 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL PUMPS AND EVEN HAPPENS WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP BY HAND. *TR
2007 DODGE DURANGO THAT NOW LETS GAS SPILL OUT WHEN FILLING. WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE BUT AFTER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP IT NOW SPILLS ABOUT A QUART OF GAS OUT THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN DAMAGE THE PAINT BELOW THE FILLER TUBE. *TR
WHEN FILLING MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH GAS, THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT THE FILLER TUBE. THIS RESULTS IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS. *TR
