What owners say about the fuel/propulsion system
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“WHEN REFUELING GAS PUMPS AUTOMATICALLY STOP TOO LATE RESULTING IN FUEL SPILLING OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW YEARS AGO SPORADICALLY BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS REFUELED.”
“FUEL IS SPRAYED ON THE VEHICLE, FLOOR, PERSON'S UPPER AND LOWER BODY WHILE REFUELING. THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, IN PARK, AT THE GAS STATION. THE FUEL SPRAY OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED NEAR FULL. FOLLOWED WITH A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 2010”
“I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TRUCK AT A GAS STATION, INSTEAD OF THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF ONCE THE GAS TANK WAS FULL, GAS WOULD SPIT/BACK OUT OF THE NOZZLE AREA AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE GAS STATION, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND APPARENTLY, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE OWNERS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON DODGE BEHALF. I'M AFRAID THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT TO COME UP WITH THE DEDUCTIBLE, A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IN THE MEANTIME. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS LETTER.”
“WHEN FILLING TANK THE FUEL FILLER HOSE SPRAYS FUEL BACK EVERYWHERE. I AM SCARED TO FILL MY TANK UP AS IT IS A RISK THAT GAS GETS SPRAYED ALL OVER YOU. MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THE PUMP TURNED OFF. IN GOOGLING IT SEEMS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.”
“I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2007 DURANGO AND UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, THE GAS SPEWED OUT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THAT PARTICULAR PUMP, BUT IT ALWAYS DOES THIS WHEN FILLING UP. FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FILLED. VERY DANGEROUS. POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.”
“WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH AUTO SHUT OFF NOZZLE IT WILL SPIT BACK A CUP OR MORE OF GAS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. THIS IS WITH VEHICLE STANDING STILL. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME WITH ANY FUEL PUMP.”
