WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF. IT HAS SPEWED GASOLINE ALL OVER ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I HOPE THEY DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED IN A FIRE IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

AS YOU ARE PUTTING GAS INTO THE FUEL TANK IT WILL OVERFLOW FROM FILLER SPOUT AND SPILL OUT CAUSING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. THIS WILL HAPPEN NO MATTER THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. GAS OVERFLOWING ON THE 2007 DODGE NITRO WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. *TR
