“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL STARTING TO SPILL FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL CHECK VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF PARAMUS (315 ROUTE 4 WEST, PARAMUS, NJ 07652) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VIN. THE CONTACT REFERENCED TSB NUMBER: 10128990 AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.”

“FROM THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS NEW I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKING OFF BUT THE GAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS A VERY LITTLE BIT AND I COULD STAND THERE AND MONITOR IT AND PUMP IN SLOWLY AND IT WOULDN?T DO IT. IT HAS STEADILY PROGRESSED TO WHERE EVERY TIME I TRY AND FILL MY TANK THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF BUT THE GAS GUSHES OUT ONTO ME AND THE CAR AND THE PAVEMENT ? ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 5 CUPS OF GAS. THE TANK ISN'T EVEN FULL WHEN IT DOES THIS. I HAVE HAD IT DO IT WHEN I HAVE ONLY PUMPED 1 GALLON INTO THE TANK AND CONTINUE TO CLICK OFF EVERY COUPLE OF CENTS. IT TAKES AT LEAST 10 MINUTES TO PUT GAS IN MY TANK AND THEN IT ISN'T FULL. IT DOES THIS NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. I HAVE HAD THE TPS REPLACED 3 TIMES, THE FUEL PUMP TWICE......I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE INTER-RELATED. MY MINOR CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY FOR ME AS I HAVE ACUTE ASTHMA/BREATHING ISSUES. THIS HAS CAUSED ASTHMA ATTACKS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL BUT MY FEAR IS ONE DAY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE GUSHING OUT OF FUEL WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A FIRE AT THE GAS STATION.…”

“AS I WAS REFUELING I NOTICED IN THE PUMP THAT IT WAS AT 29 GALLONS BUT IT WAS STILL FILLING UP AND MY TANK WASN'T EMPTY SO RIGHT AWAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND LOOKED ON THE BOTTOM THAT IT WAS SPILLING ALL THE GAS I'M THINKING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FILLER NECK OR HOSE BUT FROM UNDER THE CAR SO SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T STOP FILLING UP, THX *TR”

“I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH MY DURANGO. DURING FUELING THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING AN OVERFLOW OF GAS ON THE GROUND, ON MY SHOES, ETC. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC THINKS IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE BUT DODGE HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO FIX IT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS I CAN TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE ENGINE AND IGNITION ARE IN THE RUN POSITION, LOCK THE CAR AND TAKE THE KEY WITH ME AND THE ENGINE WILL RUN LIKE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. *TR”

“I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO USED WITH 119,000 MILES IN NOVEMBER 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I ALWAYS FILL-UP WHEN STOPPING FOR GAS BECAUSE I DRIVE AN HOUR, ONE WAY, INTO TOWN AND HAVE TO GET GAS OFTEN. REGARDLESS OF HOW I PUMP GAS IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE TRIED PUMPING FAST, PUMPING SLOW, AND PUTTING THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY IN. I HAVE A TWO YEAR DAUGHTER AND I AM CONCERNED THIS OVERFLOW MAY IGNITE A FIRE. *TR”
