My complaint is the same as in NHTSA campaign id number : 05V034000 however Dodge refuses to correct it. I have a 2005 Dodge Durango wherein the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not fully close at the end of refueling. This allows fuel to escape from the vehicle filler neck. Consequence: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Dodge has told me that my VIN number does not qualify for a recall even though it is a 2005 Dodge Durango with the same safety issue. They say that the qualifying vehicles were built before 10/12/2004 and that mine was built after that date. I maintain that they either used the same bad part in my vehicle or did not properly fix the problem. I am faced with a $825 repair bill for a design/part flaw that they did not correct and therefore should be responsible for repairing at their expense. This faulty part was replaced on August 12, 2008 in response to my complaint 10219910 but has failed yet again. The recall on the service dicument was listed as E01-410-567-1836 from business center/mark wittholz. The dealer once again has refused to pay for the $825 replacement cost. Please consider ruling once again that this dangerous situation caused by an obviously flawed part should be repaired at Chrysler's expense. The dealer was not able to tell me the make of the replacement tank installed on August 12, 2008 so I have indicated failed original equipment in order to be able to submit this complaint.

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango VIN # [xxx] manufactured March 2005. Everytime I fill up with gas, at least a pint to a quart sprays out when the tank is full, the same problem as in recall #NHTSA campaign id number: 05V034000. I have talked to dealers and Chrysler corporate reps who bluntly tell me "nothing we can do..... your's was manufactured after November 2004. This happens every time I fill up with gas, and has been doing it for several years. My family knows who to file suit against if or when I get burned up. Including NHTSA. Obviously Dodge has more problems with more Durangos than they want to admit to with the fuel splash problem.
