2006 Dodge Durango Fuel system Problems

Vehicle: 2006 Dodge Durango VIN: [XXX] Issue Type: Fuel System / Safety Hazard Description: During refueling, the vehicle repeatedly shuts the pump off and then sprays gasoline back out of the filler neck, creating a fire and injury hazard. This is a known defect covered under Dodge Customer Satisfaction Notification X39, which extends warranty coverage for the inlet check valve / ORVR failure on 2006–2008 Durango models. The symptoms match the documented defect exactly: pump shutoff, fuel expulsion, and fuel spray. This occurs at multiple stations and with different pumps. Stellantis customer service and local dealers have been unresponsive and will not acknowledge X39 unless forced. The defect poses a clear safety risk to me and others nearby during refueling. I am requesting NHTSA involvement to ensure Stellantis honors the X39 warranty extension and addresses this fuel system hazard. Safety Risk: Gasoline sprays out under pressure, contacting the vehicle, ground, and the person refueling. This is a fire hazard and exposes the user to fuel on skin and clothing. The condition is unpredictable and dangerous. Requested Action: Require Stellantis to inspect and repair the vehicle under CSN X39 and ensure compliance with the documented unlimited‑time warranty extension for this defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel spills out when you fill it up. I read there were safety recalls due to this issue for 2006 Dodge Durango's but a recall isn't appearing for my vehicle. When filling it fills fine until almost a full tank. Once it reaches full tank the gas pump clicks off then a gush of fuel spills out of my car. I bought it last year and it does it every time we put a full tank in it if you don't catch it and manually shut pump off before full. Bought the car used

Every time filling full of gas, once full it SPRAYS gas into the air for 2 to 3 seconds. It's evident this is a manufacturing defect as multiple self reported incidents can be found online throught the years. This is vreating a significant fire risk as other vehicles can be pulling up near by. Date provided isn't accurate as this is constant if we let it fill

Fuel erupts from fuel filler neck EVERY TIME the fuel tank is filled, even when filling very slowly. A half-gallon or more of fuel ends up violently spitting out of the filler neck onto people in the vicinity, onto the side of the car, and onto the ground—every time the vehicle is refueled. Many owners apparently have the exact same issue, judging by the large number of complaints on Durango and Dodge forums. Apparently, there was a recall covering model-year 2005 Durangos for this issue, but the issue is present on our 2006 Durango. This is a clear safety defect that could easily create an extremely dangerous situation.

TIPM / PCM (Computer modules) these items are affecting most Dodge vehicles that is listed already for recalls only in 2011-2013 and one earlier. This is happening in a lot of Dodges, mine is 1D4HB48N76F[XXX] (2006 Durango 4.7 SLT). They will stop running anywhere, it shuts the fuel pump off where the vehicles no longer gets gas and you have a full tank. It is only a computerized Dealer fix. Their recall for some vehicles will fix my 2006 also by the simply relay bypass that they are installing.

THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL FOR THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS OF MY VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER FOR A FUEL SAFETY ISSUE OF MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK DURING FUEL UPS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE, THE RECALL WAS CUT OFF EXACTLY ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURING DATE. THE PART IDENTIFIED WAS A FAULT WITH THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE. DODGE IDENTIFIED THE ONLY RECOURSE FOR THIS VEHICLE IS TO PETITION THE NHTSA AND HOPE THEY RECALL IT TO REPLACE IT BY DODGE, OR PAY FOR A REPAIR MYSELF OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE VEHICLE AND I AM NOTICING THE SAME ISSUE ON ALL DODGE DURANGOS I OBSERVE ON THE ROAD NOW, WITH RUSTY QUARTER PANELS DUE TO FUEL SPILL AND SATURATION ISSUES IN THE SAME SPOT.

HIL ADDING GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOW DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TUBE AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE DURANGO AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE RUSTING UNDER THE FILL TUBE. I PURCHASED THSI VEHICLE 4 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS. THE RUST AREA HAD BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING SO I AM ASSUMING THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP AS WELL.

MY CAR HAS A VERY BAD HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AND SHUTTERS WHEN THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. THE CODE I'M GETTING IS A DEALER PART ONLY AND I'VE FOUND THAT 4 OUT OF FIVE DODGE DURANGO OR CHRYSLER ASPEN HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIAL AND ERROR PROCESS. MY SISTER WHO OWNS A 2008 ASPEN JUST REPLACED THE SAME PART I NEED TO REPLACE FOR ALMOST 1,000 DOLLARS AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SOLENOIDS FROM THIS HEMI ENGINE. IT'S NOT ALLOWS ALL CYLINDERS TO WORK BECAUSE THIS FAULTY PART IS MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART SO I'M SURE 75% OF THE OWNERS CAN FINALLY HAVE A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND NOT GET STRANDED LIKE OTHERS I'M SURE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.
