| Filling gas tank at fuel pump; set the auto-fil on pump; handle clicked (as normal when a tank is full) as i reached to grab the handle to put away - right before i touch the handle gas is regurgitated and spewed all over me and the side o f the vehicle. i reported the issue to the gas station clerk as a faulty pump and he put an out of order sign on it. then less than a week later it does the same thing and conviently i see another dodge durango of similar body style and the owner smirks, your's hates gas too! leading me to believe it is a defect. we started chatting and he showed me a youtube video of another durango doing the same thing and said hope you have an extended warranty. took the vehicle to earnhardt dodge where the vehicle was purchased with a lifetime-warranty and they fixed january 10th 2012 for the deductible price of $100. however, further investigation on my part reveals that some (not all were included, but yet some not included suffer the same symptom) 2005 dodge durango were recalled for a faulty gas tank chek-valve that resulted in the exact same parts being replaced: the tank and inlet assembly. since these are the same parts that were replaced because of the my fuel leak issue - i can only believe that the recall should be extended to cover all similar body style durango's as it is obviously not a problem exclusive to the 2005 dodge durango which shares a body style 2004/5-2009. | |||

| While filling gas tank the auto stop on the pump will kick off. after a few seconds fuel will begin to flow out of the tank. tried to stop the pump on my own and still continues to do it. sounds like the same recall they had on the 2005 durangos. | |||

| The gas tank began burping upon filling. once the auto cutoff clicks off, about 5-10 seconds later the tank burps a large puddle onto the ground that is well larger than my foot. apparently this is an ongoing issue that starts with a recall in 2005. i found this while researching how to repair the issue. the issues have transferred into 2007 durangos and now to my 2008. did dodge fail to accurately address the 2005 recall? this is unacceptable to have repeat failures in a design. this is also an environmental concern that i am inclined to report to the epa. maybe they will get dodge to take action. i have written this based on research without contacting dodge because apparently they did not do anything to help countless other people. my durango had 51,000 when it started failing. | |||

| I have a 2008 dodge durango with 28,000 miles on it. just recently when i fill the gas tank up and the gas hande clicks off meaning the tank is full, upon removing the handle gas erupts from the tank and pours all down the side of my durango. nothing has been done yet, but i know there are many other durango owners out there that have this problem. this is a great danger and a recall with a fix should be issued. | |||

| When refueling, after pump shuts off, a large volume of fuel will spray out of the filler neck. this fuel flows down the side of the vehicle, sprays on the person standing near the pump and puddles on the ground. after driving off, the odor of the fuel is very strong in the vehicle. this has happened many times in the last 5 months, and now occurs every time the tank is filled. | |||

| Approximately a pint of gasoline spills/shoots from the gas tank filler neck onto the vehicle and the ground when the tank is full during refueling. it appears that the tank vent mechanism has stopped working correctly allowing fuel to shoot out. this is a safety, fire, and environmental hazard. | |||

| 2008 dodge durango 4x4 slt w/5.7 engine... gas blowback issue while filling the fuel tank.. apparently this problem is check-valve related and can only be repaired by changing the tank. i also own a 2005 durango slt 5.7 and it had the same problem. the dealer finally honored the recall and fixed the problem. i am shocked to see the 2008 model still has this same dangerous issue. while dodge and the world know about this problem, they are ignoring the same problem with recent models and have not issued recalls. the proof and history is there.. do we need families burned to death, flash fires at gas stations, eye damage from gushing gas, before a recall is deemed worthy? what are they waiting for? it is simply a continuation of a recall that has already been established with earlier model years and i am here to tell you that the problem persists. | |||

| On my 2008 durango, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve has stopped working. this is the same problem that dodge recalled some 2005 durangos for in 2009 (nhtsa campaign #09v003000) at each fill-up, no matter what gas station, when the tank is filled up, and immediately after the pump automatically shuts off - a large amount (1 gal or so) of gas literally spews from the gas tank for the next 5 to 10 seconds. this gas will spray the person pumping the gas, as well as the vehicle and surrounding area. this is a significant safety hazard, from multiple perspectives. dodge has claimed that the 2008 models are not covered under the same recall, but the same exact problem is present. therefore a new, expanded recall should be issued. | |||
