Starting about 6 weeks ago, everytime we fillup the tank it overflows at the end of the process. The overflow spews gasoline all over the side of the car and on the pavement creating a safety and environmental hazard. In some cases, either my wife or I received splash impact on our hands and clothes.
At the end of refueling my 2006 Durango gasoline just comes pouring out. It goes out all over my Durango and me. Every single time. The dealer wants to charge me about $800 to replace the tank.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Durango. The contact recently purchased the vehicle and noticed that gasoline spills out of the tank when placing fuel in the vehicle. The fuel nozzle did not stop when the tank was full. Fuel still sprayed out of the tank and onto the contact. The failure occurs without warning. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 36,000. Updated 03/23/09. Updated 03/23/09.

The fuel tank on my Dodge Durango spews gas out onto the vehicle and pavement at the end of filling up the gas tank. This began occurring about 3 months ago and happens every time I fill up. This is an extremely dangerous situation. The gas could ignite, plus it is an environmental hazard. My local Dodge dealership (roger williams Dodge) is refusing to pay for the repair. After researching this problem, I find this is a widespread issue with Durangos. I should not have to pay for something that is obviously a factory defect. I want the gas tank replaced immediately on my vehicle.
When I fill up my gas tank, the gas does not shut off, but overflows spewing gasoline out all over the place. The last two times I filled up, there was just a small amount which overflowed. Today I was doused with gasoline from my waist to my ankles.
For the last 3 months, every time I fill up my gas tank, when I remove the nozzle from the tank gasoline overflows on the side of my vehicle and the ground. At first, I thought it must be a problem with the pump at the gas station, but I reported it to my dealer during my last oil change, and he said my gank tank needed to be replaced.
I bought my Durango over a year and a half ago. This was in the spring when winter rolled around and cooler months all fuel pumps would over fill the fuel tank. Problem went away in the spring then this fall/winter the problem came back again. It acts as if the fuel vapor recovery system is becoming restricted with the cooler temperatures. Causing fuel to be burped out after the pump shuts off.
When my fuel tank is empty and I refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank. This has been happening for about 7 weeks. Also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off. This happens sporadically and Dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated at the shop.
I have a 2006 Dodge Durango and every time I fill up the gas tank it shoots gas out of the filler neck. There was no problems leading up to the problem. I brought it to the Dodge dealer and everything checked out on the diagnosis.
