For a $187 and $70 in labor... why aren't all of you just paying out of pocket to get this done and THEN fight. Safety and headaches are well worth that.

I don't get it. There is principal and then there is something else. I understand "they should fix it" but if that was applied to everything, nothing gets done.

I needed the tank plus the filler tube replaced at a cost of $950.00. I complained expecting nothing, but the picked up the bill less $200.00,

If you haven't reported this to the NHTSA, do this please!

I'm not paying a dime to fix this problem, so I hope the feds force Dodge to issue a recall.

 

We were first quoted "between $800 and $1200" when I contacted the Dodge dealer about the problem. If it had been $254 total, I would have taken it right in. But it wasn't.

The labor amount alone was quoted as "at least four hours".

 

Precisely...total labor/parts for ours was in the neighborhood of $950. That doesn't count the months of aggravation we had following it when the replacement tank wouldn't take more than .50 worth of gas at a time.

So yeah, if it would have been as simple as $200 I wouldn't have bitched as loudly.

 

Here is my fuel spill video. This is the worst I've seen it yet.

 

Mine never blew out as it was filling like yours, jasonw. It would after I pulled the nozzle out and it was not as bad with the spilling. It seems the vent tube is not venting in your case,

Our 2008 durango started regurgitating gas at about 45K miles, so chalk up another model year (new for this thread anyway, it appears).

 

Mine was also around 45,000 miles.......maybe it has a half life of 90,000 miles,

It's not mileage, that's for sure. My D had less than 29k miles on it when it started to barf back fuel.
