When attempting to fill the tank with gas, even on near-empty tank, gas pump clicks off and gas spills out and runs down the body of the car onto the ground. Dodge issued a recall for durango and other Chrysler vehicles for a faulty check valve in the tank but not for my car (Caravan). I'd like to lodge a complaint. Dodge tells me that fixing this problem will cost me $1720 for a new gas tank. I believe Dodge should fix it for me because it is dangerous to have gas spill out when attempting to fill.

06 Dodge Caravan (fmi handicap conversion)- issue spewing gasoline: >filled up approx 9am Aug 4th 2011 > parked at residence > 2pm preparing to go out-of-town > heard humming from left rear > noticed gas cap appear "cross-threaded" & was "hissing" > me in a electric wheelchair, parked facing cap > my son turned cap > gas spewed out like a fire hydrant point blank in my face > gas did not just spray, it spewed out over a half a tank, spewing it 18-20 feet, lasting about a minute. > Dodge mfg srv ctr said (troy), "not sure what caused it, we think it was a closed solenoid purge valve cause mech blew in it & couldn't get no air through it" > I said "you think?!" > he (troy) stated..."all we can say is, go fill it up, drive it around, & see if it does it again" > no error code nor did the "check engine" light ever come on...it should have! note: I'm a 42yr completely disabled [muscular dystrophy-no movement in legs/arms/body], I'm in a electric wheelchair...I have no choice but to use the van, but no one has given me a certain diagnosis, no one knows what could cause the gas to build so much pressure. The cap can't be "cross-threaded", there was so much pressure it in the process of blowing up....thank god it didn't! please help?
