What owners wrote

Every time I fill up my 2006 dodge durango, the gasoline nozzle shuts off when the tank is full but the vehicle still "spits" out roughly a half gallon of gasoline all over the ground, vehicle and the person filling the tank. I have tried many gas stations to be sure that it is not the pump and have verified that it is the vehicle. In my research and discussions with dodge dealers, it seems that a recall was issued for 2005 models for this exact issue, but they fail to issue one for the 2006 model.
