Gas spits back every time it is filled. The dealer acknowledges it is a very well known and documented manufacturing fault, but is not authorized to repair it, as the vehicles' VIN does not fall within the range specified by Chrysler's last two recalls.

When the tank was filled with gas and the auto shut off on the dispenser engaged, gas would spew out of the vehicle under very high pressure.. the fueling problem is one that confounds me. If you allow the fuel dispenser to pump until it automatically stops, you will be greeted with a high pressure spray of fuel that will cover you and anyone standing on the opposite side of the pump. It has been this way for several years. It seems that there are many recalls for check valves in fuel tanks, but none of them cover my VIN number. The Dodge place would be happy to repair the problem for just over $700 according to my quote, an amount that unwitting fuel customers on the opposite side of the pumps from me might think worthwhile. On more than one occasion, my wife and I have been on the receiving end of that fine fuel spray, only to wonder why Dodge will not fix an obvious safety problem.

Gas spills out of the fuel filler tube during every refueling. The gas pump does not shut off automatically. As the result, gas is spilled during every time I get gas. This wastes gas, causes an environmental issue, and potentially could cause a fire.

Ticking sound and a exhaust smell in vehicle caused me to take my car to a local repair shop to have exhaust manifold gasket replaced. The technician found that a bolt had broken off a was sitting in the heat shield.

- Groton, CT, USA

My 2005 Dodge Durango has been spitting back fuel every time I refuel for the last 5-6 months. I took it to a local Dodge dealer for 90K service & asked them to check out what was causing the problem. Service manager called me & I was told I needed to replace the gas tank for over $700. I did not authorize the work. There was no mention of the recall or any other complaints about this problem. I hung up & got online. After a few minutes of searching the internet I see this is a serious issue & I am not alone. It seems to me a recall of only a small number of the effected vehicles is no solution. I intend to contact Dodge & complain.

When filling the gas tank with gasoline the gas spits back up out of the gas tank filler tube and all over the person filling up the gas tank. The Dodge Durango has been recalled for this exact same problem on Feb 1, 2005 NHTSA campaign number: 05V034000. After numerous complaints Chrysler on Jan 6, 2009 NHTSA campaign number: 09V003000 expanded the recall and reported to the NHTSA that the problem was fixed in production and the NHTSA closed the case. Well, Chrysler did not fix the problem or the fix has failed. My Durango was produced after the latest recall ending date and has the exact same problem. I have taken my Durango to the dealer on Sept 14, 2011 after reporting the problem to Chrysler (case number 21324740). The dealer confirmed the problem. Chrysler offered to replace the gas tank for $200. I declined the offer because I believe the recall should be expanded. This is a serious life / safety issue and should be brought to light!

NHTSA action number RQ08005: Inv. Closed 9 Jan 09 the spit back problem continued in the field for vehicles built from mid-October through the end of November. Chrysler reported process modifications were implemented on 11/24/04 to address spit back problems and believes these process changes would have been incorporated in all vehicles built at the assembly plant as of 11/30/04. In the two plus years since the investigation was closed, the nets has received over 300 complaints pertaining to the issue that was supposedly corrected by the expanded recall. Nearly all of these complaints stated that the vehicle with the problem was not included in the recall. Please re-open the investigation! the investigation was closed based on a "belief" without checking the veracity of the claim made by Chrysler! the spit-back problem is still a problem- Chrysler knows it, otherwise they wouldn't have been so quick to make me an offer because they're concerned about the safety of my family. Incidentally, my 2005 Durango was manufactured in Feb of 2005 making it obvious that the "process modifications" were not incorporated in all vehicles and the supplier of the fuel tanks actually did not make the stated manufacturing change. My recommendation: Expand the recall to any 2005 Durango experiencing the known safety issue related to the fuel spit back problem. Unless of course, Chrysler is leveraging risk vs. Cost of an expanded recall and weighing the odds that the nets will just let this one slide. Please advise. Dear customer: Case #: 21232269 VIN: [xxx] vehicle description: Dodge Durango limited 4X4 sport utility 4-door parts: $729 labor: $260.47 total: $989.47 co-pay = $350 vehicle is not covered under recall because VIN does not fall under recall and recalls are VIN specific.
