“Hil adding gas, the fuel overflow does not shut off when full. Gas spills out of the tube and runs down the side of the Durango and onto the ground. There is considerable rusting under the fill tube. I purchased thsi vehicle 4 years ago and it has always done this. The rust area had been repaired prior to me purchasing so I am assuming this has happened before my ownership as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11065495, filed 2018-01, 120,000 miles“Every time we fuel up the Durango, no matter how slow, or even if we allow it to breathe ... When it gets close to full it shoots out fuel..seriously shoots it out, like 2 feet. We cant fuel it past 1/2 without this happening. Also fuel leaks from somewhere in the fuel fill tube to the tank when ever we fuel at all. I see other durangos have similar complaints for this model year.”
NHTSA complaint #10509492, filed 2013-04, 88,500 miles“When filling the gas tank the fuel splashes and pours out all over me and the vehicle. The paint on the vehicle that is exposed to the fuel has begun to bubble and rust. If the inconvenience and hazard of the spill isn't enough the loss of fuel at today's high prices is an injustice that needs to be addressed. Please help us! We paid a lot for our vehicle and now it looks like crap! Dodge should care more about it customers!”
NHTSA complaint #10498344, filed 2013-02, 85,000 miles“Fuel tank overflows during fill up. Spilling tons of gas. Because of the overflow there is a lot of rust forming on body were gas tank is. I have taken it to body shop to see about getting the rust fixed but said would have to replace that whole area because rust ate through. To be honest I thought I was doing something wrong when filling up at the gas station or something was wrong with the pump for a long time until I started researching on internet. …”
NHTSA complaint #10515976, filed 2013-06, 60,000 miles“I own a 2006 Dodge Durango adventure and every time I fill it up with fuel a half to a whole gallon of fuel comes out of the fuel nozzle. I have been to at least 15 different gas stations. I called Dodge and the said there was a recall for this and is only for 2005 Dodge durangos'. I and having the same problem and is eating away finish of paint. This should be looked in to due to fire hazard.”
