GAS SPITS BACK EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURING FAULT, BUT IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPAIR IT, AS THE VEHICLES' VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED BY CHRYSLER'S LAST TWO RECALLS. *TR

WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED WITH GAS AND THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE DISPENSER ENGAGED, GAS WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE VEHICLE UNDER VERY HIGH PRESSURE. . THE FUELING PROBLEM IS ONE THAT CONFOUNDS ME. IF YOU ALLOW THE FUEL DISPENSER TO PUMP UNTIL IT AUTOMATICALLY STOPS, YOU WILL BE GREETED WITH A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY OF FUEL THAT WILL COVER YOU AND ANYONE STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMP. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY RECALLS FOR CHECK VALVES IN FUEL TANKS, BUT NONE OF THEM COVER MY VIN NUMBER. THE DODGE PLACE WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR JUST OVER $700 ACCORDING TO MY QUOTE, AN AMOUNT THAT UNWITTING FUEL CUSTOMERS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMPS FROM ME MIGHT THINK WORTHWHILE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF THAT FINE FUEL SPRAY, ONLY TO WONDER WHY DODGE WILL NOT FIX AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE DURING EVERY REFUELING. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. AS THE RESULT, GAS IS SPILLED DURING EVERY TIME I GET GAS. THIS WASTES GAS, CAUSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AND POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR
