2007 DODGE NITRO, 3.7L ENGINE, 4WD - EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. I'VE READ ABOUT THE JEEP LIBERTY AND OTHER DODGE NITRO'S DOING THE SAME THING. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, FILLING SLOWLY, ETC. ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT. AT $4.00 PER GALLON, I CAN'T AFFORD TO WASTE A DROP OF GAS. NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF SPILLING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND. WE NEED TO GET THE GOV'T INVOLVED AND DO A RECALL TO FIX THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. IF THE US DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION DOESN'T DO ANYTHING - LETS GET THE ENVIRONMENTALISM INVOLVED. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE RIGHT NOW (FUEL SPILLING ALL OVER THE GROUND COULD CAUSE A FIRE), BUT IF THE CAR IS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER, GAS WILL SPILL ALL OVER THE PLACE. HELP ME, HELP US ALL, HELP THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR
