NHTSA Complaint #10515976 — 2006 DODGE DURANGO

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS DURING FILL UP. SPILLING TONS OF GAS. BECAUSE OF THE OVERFLOW THERE IS A LOT OF RUST FORMING ON BODY WERE GAS TANK IS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BODY SHOP TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THE RUST FIXED BUT SAID WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THAT WHOLE AREA BECAUSE RUST ATE THROUGH. TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION OR SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE PUMP FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING ON INTERNET. I JUST SPOKE TO DODGE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A NEW PROBLEM THAT DODGE JUST EXTENDED THE WARRENTY ON SO WE CAN GET THE FUEL PART FIXED. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WE ALMOST HAVE THIS PAID FOR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, HAS LOW MILES, BUT THE RUST AROUND GAS TANK IS BAD. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME HELP FROM DODGE ON GETTING THIS FIXED SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT. *TR
