TAKATA RECALL THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM WITH WIPER AND THERE STUFF GOING WRONG FROM C7 AREA OF THE TIPM ON 07 DODGE NITRO SLT

DURING REFUELING MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN "BURPING" GAS BACK WHEN NEAR FULL. AT FIRST THIS WAS OCCURRING WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON GAS PUMP HANDLES, BUT IT CONTINUED TO DO SO EVEN WHEN MANUALLY OPERATING GAS PUMP HANDLES. AFTER SEARCHING THROUGH FORUMS WITH THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS IT'S A KNOWN FAULT WITH THE ROLL-OVER VALVE WHICH DODGE IS CORRECTING AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. HAVING A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT THAT CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL IN QUANTITY (ESTIMATING A PINT OR MORE) WHEN REFUELING AND THE DISTINCT PROBABLY THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL-OVER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE FORCED INTO PAYING FOR.
