Durango 4WD 8-cyl

  • 36,500 miles
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.
