NHTSA Complaint #11132724 — 2006 DODGE DURANGO

THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL FOR THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEARS OF MY VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER FOR A FUEL SAFETY ISSUE OF MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK DURING FUEL UPS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE, THE RECALL WAS CUT OFF EXACTLY ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURING DATE. THE PART IDENTIFIED WAS A FAULT WITH THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE. DODGE IDENTIFIED THE ONLY RECOURSE FOR THIS VEHICLE IS TO PETITION THE NHTSA AND HOPE THEY RECALL IT TO REPLACE IT BY DODGE, OR PAY FOR A REPAIR MYSELF OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE VEHICLE AND I AM NOTICING THE SAME ISSUE ON ALL DODGE DURANGOS I OBSERVE ON THE ROAD NOW, WITH RUSTY QUARTER PANELS DUE TO FUEL SPILL AND SATURATION ISSUES IN THE SAME SPOT.
