On numerous occasions when filling my gas tank the automatic shut off ( that tells you the tank is full) has not kicked in causing the tank to over flow and kick back gas spray all over me, my fiance, or the attendant at the gas station. This is not something that has happened just once, but multiple times in the 9 months I have owned this vehicle. I have checked for recalls and my VIN comes back with no active recalls, I even went as far as reading in detail the NHTSA recall reports (09V003000 and 05V034000) to obtain manufacture dates to compare against my own. Needless to say mine does not fit in the date range (3/1/04-11/30/04) having been manufactured in February 2005, but does infact have the same issue as the models under recall. This is something I want to have fixed but don't feel I should have to pay to do so seeing as this is an issue they knew they had and claimed to have fixed but quite obviously did not. I am tired of being afraid to fill my gas tank and getting covered in gas when I do.

NHTSA action number RQ08005: Inv. Closed 9 Jan 09 the spit back problem continued in the field for vehicles built from mid-October through the end of November. Chrysler reported process modifications were implemented on 11/24/04 to address spit back problems and believes these process changes would have been incorporated in all vehicles built at the assembly plant as of 11/30/04. In the two plus years since the investigation was closed, the nets has received over 300 complaints pertaining to the issue that was supposedly corrected by the expanded recall. Nearly all of these complaints stated that the vehicle with the problem was not included in the recall. Please re-open the investigation! the investigation was closed based on a "belief" without checking the veracity of the claim made by Chrysler! the spit-back problem is still a problem- Chrysler knows it, otherwise they wouldn't have been so quick to make me an offer because they're concerned about the safety of my family. Incidentally, my 2005 Durango was manufactured in Feb of 2005 making it obvious that the "process modifications" were not incorporated in all vehicles and the supplier of the fuel tanks actually did not make the stated manufacturing change. My recommendation: Expand the recall to any 2005 Durango experiencing the known safety issue related to the fuel spit back problem. Unless of course, Chrysler is leveraging risk vs. Cost of an expanded recall and weighing the odds that the nets will just let this one slide. Please advise. Dear customer: Case #: 21232269 VIN: [xxx] vehicle description: Dodge Durango limited 4X4 sport utility 4-door parts: $729 labor: $260.47 total: $989.47 co-pay = $350 vehicle is not covered under recall because VIN does not fall under recall and recalls are VIN specific.

When filling up the gas tank, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not function properly. It does not close and gas always spills out. I am afraid that gas spills out while driving. At times, with the keys in the ignition, the car will turn off by itself if I am moving slowly. I bought this truck in 2006. The first year, I brought the car in for stalling on its own. The dealership told me that there was nothing that they could do and the car did not have a problem. I brought the truck in about three times for the same problem and every time, nothing was resolved. After that I did not have the money or the time to continue bringing the truck in for a problem that the dealership was saying they could not find. Over the years, I have just dealt with this truck stalling on its own. About 1 year ago, I noticed that the car started spilling out gas if it was filled up. I did not know there was a recall until I researched the problem online. I found that there was a recall. I contact Chrysler customer care, they looked up my VIN # and told me that they did not have any recalls listed on my particular truck. I explained to the representative that my car had a problem with the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve and that gas spilled out. I told them that I was afraid that gas was spilling from the tank while I was driving. The representative told me that there was nothing that they could do and told me to take the truck to the dealership. I am afraid that if I take the truck to the dealership I will be responsible for all of the expensive charges to fix this problem. I do not have the money for this since I am paying $700 a month for a truck that should never have been financed at that amount in the first place and is not worth the amount still owed. The consumer stated she was involved in a head-on-collision on April 25, 2011 and the air bags did not deploy. Also, the rear wiper made a whistling noise. Updated 08/12/11
