2007 DODGE NITRO Complaints

TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN IT. THE PUMP CLICKS, I PULL IT OUT AND ABOUT A HALF A TANK OF GAS SPEWS ALL OVER ME AND THE CAR. AT TIMES IT HAPPENS BEFORE THE PUMP EVEN SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. *TR

THE DODGE NITRO CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH FUEL. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE FUELING STATIONS IN MULTIPLE STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND AT EVERY ONE OF THOSE THE FUEL OVER FLOWS FROM THE FILLER NECK SPILLING FUEL ONTO THE GROUND AND ALL OVER ITS OPERATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THE NHTSA IS PROBING THE JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE PLEASE INCLUDE THE DODGE NITRO IN THIS PROBE. IF YOU NEED ONE TO TEST, YOU CAN USE MINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING TO CAPACITY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE CHECK VALVE, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 8/23/12 *CN

FUEL TANK DOES NOT VENTILATE, WHEN PUMPING FUEL PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, PERSON ATTENDING FUEL PUMP, AND THE GROUND. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 45PH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CARS WHEELED LOCKED UP AND I CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP WITH MY WHEELS LAYING DOWN RUBBER BUT I DID NOT CRASH. WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE GARAGE THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE REAREND SEAL WAS LEAKING AND ALL THE FLUID CAME OUT OF THE REAREND AND THE GEARS LOCKED UP. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED ON AUTO IT CLICKS THE PUMP OFF AND SPEWS GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. DODGE COMPLAINT DEPT SAYS THEY HAVE NO RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS , YET EVERY 2007 OWNER I TALK TO HAS THIS PROBLEM. WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS JUST OUR CAR THAT DID THIS. SOME ONE IS GOING TO PULL UP TO THE SPOT WHERE A NITRO WAS REFILLED/SPILLED WITH A LIT CIGARETTE AND THERE WILL BE A SIZABLE FIRE, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR

ON JULY 4TH 2012 I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND AS I STARTED TO TURN THE CAR JUMPED IN THE AIR THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDES DEPLOYED. I STOPPED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. AS I GOT OUT I CHECKED THE REAR TO MAKE SURE I DID NOT GET HIT. NO CARS AROUND. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKE IN HALF. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I TOWED THE TRUCK HOME STARTED LOOKING ON LINE AND SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. JUST AS THE OTHERS IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING MAY HAVE RUBBED ON IT MAKING THE SHAFT THIN AND BREAKABLE. MOST PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TALKED WITH SAID IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUES. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE I BELIEVE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES, AT SEVERAL GAS STATIONS, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF CAUSING GAS TO OVERFLOW. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL UP AND FILL THE TANK FULL. *TR

COME OUTSIDE KEYS IN HAND AND MY TRUCK IS RUNNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL DISPLAYS ARE LIT UP AND NO THERE IS NOT AN AUTO START ON MY VEHICLE THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED UNTIL RECENTLY THAT THE TIPM MODULE IS THE PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY BECAUSE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF THE CODES DO NOT APPEAR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSE IT CAN TURN OFF MY LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING LOCK ME IN MY CAR MESS WITH MY HORN WIPERS STEERING CAUSE THIS IS THE BRAIN TO MY TRUCK BUT DUE TO ME BEING OUT OF WARRANTY NOW I AM EXSPRCTED TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT STARTED UNDER WARRANTY. *TT

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY RISK, AS WELL AS A WASTE OF GASOLINE. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF A ROLLOVER DETECTION SYSTEM. DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
