Dodge Durango Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Dec 07, 2012
Reported on Dec 07, 2012
| EVERY TIME THAT I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM UNTIL THE VEHICLE HIT 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO FILL THE TANK UP. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT I PUT INTO THE TANK. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY A QUART OR MORE OF GAS THAT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF REMEDIATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITING GASOLINE EMISSIONS, SO I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT GASOLINE SPRAYING ALL OVER THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AS WELL AS OVER THE GROUND IS A HAZARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEE THAT MORE THAT JUST THE 2005 IS AFFECTED. I THINK THAT THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE TO CHECK EACH DURANGO FROM 2005 UNTIL WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IF ANY ARE AFFECTED, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THOSE THAT ARE A PROBLEM. *TR | |
