Summary: Fuel escapes from vehicle at the end of refueling. Consequence: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Remedy requested: Have dealer replace the fuel tank assembly free of charge, as in the recall of the same description for other 2005 Dodge Durangos - NHTSA campaign id #09V003000, Chrysler recall #H45. Previously made a few attempts to get Chrysler dealer in burlington, NJ to effect repair, but customer service manager [xxx]claimed he couldn't duplicate problem. I was not with the vehicle when he allegedly attempted to duplicate problem. [xxx] was untruthful when I confronted him last year about Chrysler corporate knowing of the problem and that it should be repaired at no charge to customer. No that I've found the NHTSA website info and the H45 recall info, I made another attempt: I contacted Chrysler. Case manager "[xxx]assigned me case #[xxx] on April 25, 2011, but told me on April 28, 2011 that I would have to pay a copay for the repair. I objected to a copay, and told him that I would be contacting NHTSA. This complaint is that contact. Can you assist me? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I own a 2005 Dodge Durango which has had a fuel issue from the day we got it. Almost every time we fill the tank, gasoline continues to spill out of the nozzle. This is especially noticeable when we fill up with the older style pumps that do not have the plastic sleeves on them. My investigation revealed a recall for the inlet valve but Chrysler/Dodge says my VIN series is not covered. This issue obviously encompasses more vehicles than the recall indicates. Chrysler stated they would look into the matter but I would have to pay a 95 dollar diagnostic and if it was the fuel inlet valve.. it would require "customer participation" to fix. They are willing to assist but tell me I will be responsible for between 100 and 500 dollars of the repair costs plus the 95 dollar diagnostic fee. I wish to add my complaint to the list of individuals who have already complained about this very concern. Dodge needs to be held accountable for all of the vehicles experiencing this issue. It makes little sense that some 2005 Durango's are recalled but my particular one is not when the issue is the same. Please help.

When fueling vehicle after the fueling nozzle is cut off several ounces of fuel spills/squirts out from the tank. Failure began occurring around 40K miles. Using different fueling sites still has same result. Stopping fueling as tank nears full has same results. This will occur every time vehicle is fueled unless fueling is stopped prior to tank becoming close to capacity. Recall E01 completed on vehicle on 7/15/2005 shortly after purchase. However, vehicle tested and no repairs were made/indicated at the time. The symptoms mentioned above are the exact same as mentioned in the recall. Numerous other similar complaints are listed with NHTSA. Dealer indicated they would perform test again for a fee and consult manufacturer regarding repair coverage. My feeling is this is a result of the same defective part indicated in the recall and it was just not detected during initial recall inspection. Vehicle has not been repaired. Currently I only fill tank to about three quarters full to avoid fuel spilling/squirting out. Dangers from the fuel include possibility of fire or fuel contacting skin/face/eyes.

2005 Dodge Durango. Each time vehicle is refueled fuel continues to spill back out of the fuel tank. This happens every time the vehicle is filled up. The dealer was contacted and informed me that my VIN was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number: 09V003000 (fuel system, gasoline: Storage: Tank assembly). The manufacturer was also contacted and confirmed that the vehicle was not covered under the recall, and is also not covered under the extended warranty I purchased when I purchased the vehicle and offered no further assistance. This causes an environmental hazard, I am getting covered in gasoline as is my vehicle and the ground. Not to mention the loss of gas the vehicle is receiving and I am paying for.

- Sims, NC, USA

2005 Dodge Durango - approximately a pint to a quart of fuel overflows from fuel filler tube when filling up. There was an apparent recall on this problem but Chrysler/Dodge stated that my VIN number is not covered under the recall. Took vehicle in for inspection to a dealer. Quoted over $1100 for replacing whole fuel tank assembly in order to fix problem. Chrysler said they would cover all but $369.50 and that the company normally does not cover any amount of repair outside of warranty or a recall. Clearly, this should be a recall issue as many other 2005 Durango owners are experiencing the same problem. Problem has persisted since purchasing from a friend's lease turn-in (approx 42K mi). Currently have approx 78K miles. Chrysler should cover this defect in full in that it is a serious safety issue and is not a problem stemming from wear and tear or abuse.

- Davison, MI, USA

Fuel began spraying from neck of gas tank when filling up in fall of 2010. We tried refilling at large number of service stations across Utah, Nevada and California, with the same result when the nozzle clicks off, fuel gushes out of the fuel tank. I took it to the local Dodge dealer in, and after spending $260, they were not able to fix the problem. It will cost another $500 to $1000 to fix this dangerous problem. There was a recall of lower VIN # Durangos to fix this, but not for our VIN #. this is a serious safety issue as well as a waste of gas and a pollution problem.

We have been having trouble fueling our Durango for the last 5 months. When the tank is full the pumps shuts off and then gasoline spews out of the filler tube. On myself or the attendant, the truck, and the ground. It does not matter the station or speed of fill. There are two open recalls for this same issue but I have been told by local dealer my VIN is not included. I request that Chrysler/Dodge be forced to expand the effected vehicles VIN numbers and do there part to protect their customers and the environment but stopping the spill of gas on us and the ground.

When refilling the vehicle gasoline squirts out of the recovery tube. The happens after every fill up, it doesn't matter if you fill up quick or slow. After the shutoff engages fuel spills all over you, the Durango and the ground.
