Yes, it is a known issue. There are at least three threads here regarding this topic.

It has to do with inadequate venting of the fuel tank while filling, in-concert with damaged, or clogged "overflow prevention venting" in filling nozzles at some gas stations with less than stellar pump maintenance programs. But this is not only Dodges & Jeeps, either. This no-cap design is causing problems among every car maker in the industry that is going to the "no-cap" thing.
Also, there may be an issue with your particular D, with faulty instillation of the filler pipes/gas tanks, by a kink, or restriction. Dodge's line has had some units come back to the dealer for this problem (see thread links -- happy reading).

Holy freak I had no idea it was this common of a problem! I'm never in the SRT foruma though... So it looks like replacing the filler neck fixes the problem? Will the dealer replace it under warranty? We are at 39k miles.

Maybe if you complain and make a big issue to them about it but otherwise as most others have experienced no they wont replace it.

No clue here....i always have to hold the nozzle at 3 o'clock...im guessong there's a check valve down low that's restricting gas flow to the tank

I have been having the same issue for gas nozzle stopping during fill ups on my 2018 and I had to rotate the nozzle 180 degrees to get it to work.
I dropped my car last week at the dealer and told them about the issue but also mentioned in some cases it causes over spills which is a hazard concern. They replaced the filler neck and today my first fill up was normal. Will see over the next few weeks how it goes.

I've had the fuel filler neck and vapor canister replaced, they didn't offer to do the capless nozzle for me. These replacements have helped, but I'll still have the issue. They suggested leaving the gas pump in the tank for 10 seconds before starting to fill it up, this has helped out a bit too.

I have only filled up my Durango (2019 SRT) twice so far. Once it was a PITA, and once it was normal. Not enough data yet to draw a conclusion as to whether I have an issue.

My C7 Z06 will be a PITA to fill up only if the pavement tilts the outboard (passengers side) side of the car higher than the inboard/driver's side. If perfectly level or if the passenger's side is lower than the driver's side, it fills normally, with no problem. Z06 also has the capless fuel fill....

two fillups for me so far as well, both had no issue with early shutoff or keeping the fill rate on max., but man, she sure don't like trying to get a few more drops in after the pump shuts off!

I’ve been running into this issue a lot lately. Has anyone heard of any actual fixes yet? I’m still under warranty, should I just take it back and have them ”fix it”?

The only fix is to have the filler neck replaced at the dealer.
8 month so far after replacing the filler neck and I have Zero issues filling up the car at different gas stations.

I've only done 3 fill ups on my new to me 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland I bought used and haven't had any problems. Same vehicle architecture as the Durango. If it's in warranty take it to the dealer.

If not in warranty...most likely the venting for the fuel filler. Several threads on here discussing that and the remedy. A little searching will get you the info you need.
