NHTSA Complaint #10456355 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE GASOLINE TO SPEW FROM THE VEHICLE DURING FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP OF THE VEHICLE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREVENT, EVEN ONCE I BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE GASOLINE EXIST THE VEHICLE WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE THE AMOUNT CAN VARY BUT IS TYPICALLY EQUIVALENT TO ~20 FL OZ. NOT ONLY IS THIS A OBVIOUS FIRE/EXPLOSION RISK, BUT IS ALSO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL RISK AS THE GASOLINE OFTEN MAKES CONTACT WITH CLOTHES AND SKIN DURING REFUELING. I NOTIFIED DODGE OF THIS ISSUE WAS GIVEN A CASE # HOWEVER WAS NOTIFIED THAT DODGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS AN ISSUE AND WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNLESS IT IS A RECALL. THERE IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERNET TO SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
