NHTSA Complaint #10299677 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

STARTING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK A LARGE VOLUME OF GAS WOULD SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AS THE TANK APPEARED TO BE APPROACHING FULL. IN ADDITION, THE "GASCAP" LIGHT WOULD CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN UNBELIEVABLE FIRE HAZARD WITH THIS SITUATION. I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE EVENTS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DODGE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO WORK WITH ME ON THE EXPENSE BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM EXISTING ON SO MANY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE COST ESTIMATE IS $854.45 APPARENTLY DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX IT. *TR
