I have own my Durango for about 4 years and I recently had the air bag recall repaired that it had. My vehicle also had a previous recall for the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve. It causes gas to splash out at a large amount which splashes out at you, all over the truck and the ground. It does this every time I fill my tank. I looked it up online and mine was never replaced but “checked” before I owned it. I don’t know why it was replaced because my vehicles is obviously affected by this recall and the dealer will not fix it because it was previously checked. I’m scared of the danger this issues has. I’m a single dad and this is my only vehicle. It happens regularly every time I refuel.

When filling up my gas tank occasionally fuel will spit out of my gas tank and all over my car and ground
When filling up vehicle, fuel pump spits fuel back out when full instead of shutting off. Or pump will not fill at full speed and pump continually shuts off. Then it cannot tell when full, spitting fuel back out the filler
After filling gas tank to completion and hearing the auto stop on the fuel pump engage I saw about a liter of fuel spill out from the gas tank. Fuel was all over the vehicle and ground.
I cant put more then 10 dollars in my tank because the nosle keeps clicking and gas pours out all over me and the ground. There was a recall for this, but it is no longer happening. I just bought this car used and now my mechanic cant even find a gas tank to replace it. My legs have felt like they where on fire and became red from the gas pouring out on me, my husband has had to hose me down outside in my backyard from having fuel all over my legs. This is very dangerous, nerve racking and a total safety hazard.

WHEN I GET GAS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I HAVE A LITTLE GAS OR HALF A TANK MY GAS AS I'M PUMPING ALWAYS COMES OUT AND BACKFIRES AT ME ....IT JUST STARTS SPITTING OUT AT ME FOR NO REASON... EVEN WHEN I'M EMPTY AND I START PUMPING GAS IT HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF PUMPING GAS IT JUST DECIDES TO COME BACK AT ME..
