Default Gasoline shoots out during fill-up-anyone else?

Automatic shut off only stops after gas has sprayed out of the fuel tank door during fill up.

has this happened to anyone else?

Shouldnt there be a recall...i thought the durango had a recall for this issue.

mine has done that a couple of times, it depends on what gas station i go to, 7-11 gas pumps, and texaco for some reason don't do it to mine.
i dont think it is a problem with the vehicle i think its the gas nozzels like arent long enough the same thing happens to my step-dad's 05 sierra everytime he fills up

its probably the pump you were using... that is unless it happens everywhere you go. Lots of times the automatic shutoff sensors in the pumps fail and thats what happens.
