Fuel tank sprays fuel and spills up to a quart of gasoline when filler nozzle shuts off. I purchased this vehicle used in September of 2015 with approximately 91,000 miles. It is a limited 4x4 model with a 5.7l Hemi multi displacement engine. Upon several occasions when refueling the vehicle, seconds after the fuel nozzle clicks off a gushing should is heard and immediately a spray of gasoline is ejected from the filler neck. It has become too dangerous to fill the tank and I must resort to purchasing a less than full tank. Not only is this annoying but it also presents an extreme fire and explosion hazard due to the quantity of gasoline ejected. Both myself and several gas station attendants have been soaked in gasoline by this defect of not shutting off the filler check valve when full. …
I just purchased a 2007 Dodge Durango and noticed that every time I fill up the truck at a gas station, instead of the gas pump automatically shutting off once the gas tank was full, gas would spit/back out of the nozzle area and run down the side of the truck. I at first thought it might have been the gas station, but it has occurred three more times at different gas stations. Needless to say, this is very dangerous and apparently, this is a very common problem with other Dodge owners. I called the dealership and they said that because I purchased the extended warranty, I'm responsible for the deductible. This problem should have been a recall on Dodge behalf. I'm afraid that because I have to wait to come up with the deductible, a more serious accident could occur in the meantime. Please contact me at your earliest convenience and thank you for your attention to this letter.
Whenever I fill the tank with gas, when the pump clicks off, and then gas spews out all over the place. There is a "technical service bulletin" describing this problem on my vehicle, but when I went to the local Chrysler dealer for the airbag recall and asked if they would fix the gas problem, they said that the "technical service bulletin" was just "courtesy information" and if I wanted to "fix" it, I would have to pay for it. I've seen online that many others have had their vehicle fixed at their dealership for free. I don't know if I was lied to, or if the drivers I read about online just have better dealerships than I do here. I love the Durango - it's a great vehicle, but the gas fill problem is a mess. I wish I could get Chrysler to do something about it.
I have 2007 Dodge Durango with the 5.7l Hemi. Approximately 2 years ago we began having issues when fueling the vehicle. When filling the tank, the fuel nozzle will automatcially shut off normally when the tank is full. However, when removing the pump nozzle gas spews back out of the filler neck all over whomever is filling the vehicle or onto the ground. From what I have seen this has been an on going issue with several Dodge vehicles and of course all after the warranty has expired. Seems like you have enough complaints about to force a recall but choose not to. With fuel prices still at an elevated level, this is costing me money as there is wasted fuel on the ground. Please force Dodge to issue a recall.
Fuel comes out after filling tank. This is ridiculous and so very dangerous. I can tell its gone on a while with my rig cause paint is all wearing away by fuel spout. I see this is a huge complaint for lots of people. Can't believe Dodge won't fix situation. They need to wait for death or serious injury first. I will be getting rid of mine as soon as I can and I will never ever buy another Dodge. All the stories I've heard about Dodge are true. This is my first and last one I will ever own. I have many issues besides this. But this is the most serious one. So far. Terrible. Way to care about your product Dodge and the people who drive them.
Qty. Part no. Description ar (1) cnnzx390aa tube, fuel filler was replaced by dealership. Still cannot put fuel in it without it taking forever and a day and still cannot pass emissions! Beyond infuriated! No one will take ownership of a manufactured defective fuel system and actually they expect me to pay for it! Please, please issue a recall and hold these people accountable! We have had gas splashed all over us and after the supposed 'fix' can't put gas in it without it taking 30 minutes. Not acceptable, nor is it safe!
When filling gas tank (topping it off) I'll hear 1 click and the gas will instantly start spewing out. Normally it'll run down the vehicle (which has caused paint damage/rust). However, last week I was pumping gas and I received absolutely no warning that it was full so the gasoline starting blowing back at me. I was saturated from my arms to my feet in gas. It was absolutely terrifying, not to mention extremely dangerous, and humiliating. Something needs to be gone before something tragic happens to someone.
When we fill the fuel tank, the pump clicks and we stop fueling. Problem after that is that the vehicle stops running at various times. Could be making a turn and it will die or stopped or driving. Very dangerous. Looked up this problem and there is a NHTSA bullitin for this problem for other vehicles, there is a valve on top of the tank that fails and allows fuel into the vapor canister causing the vehicle to stop running. Please extend the recall to this vehicle as well. Thank you
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.
