NHTSA complaint: 2008 DODGE DURANGO — FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WHETHER I USE THE AUTO FILL OR HOLD THE LEVER BY HAND. IF THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH ANY SPEED 1-2 PINTS OF FUEL WILL COME SPITTING BACK OUT WHEN IT REACHES THE TOP. THE FUEL HAS SPIT ON ME AND MY WIFE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL THE TANK IS AT PRIOR TO FILLING OR HOW LONG THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FILL IT. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A DODGE WARRANTY BULLETIN D-12-07, COVERS 2007-2008, AND ATTEMPTED TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED UNDER THAT BULLETIN BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FIT THE CRITERIA. THERE WAS ALSO A TSB 14-001-12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT AGAIN THEY WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN 2011. I KNOW DODGE IS AWARE THE ISSUES THESE VEHICLES HAVE WITH THE FUELING SYSTEM AS THE 2005 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON AND I FOUND SIMILAR WARRANTY BULLETINS FOR 2005-2006. I HAVE SUSTAINED MINOR CHEMICAL BURNS FROM FUEL BEING SPEWED ONTO MY PANTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION AND DODGE REFUSES TO FIX IT. *TR
