2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, GASOLINE WILL ALWAYS SQUIRT OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE. THIS IS A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. I HAVE TO PUT MY EAR DOWN NEXT TO THE FILLER TO HEAR WHEN THE TANK IS GETTING CLOSE TO FULL, AND HOPEFULLY SHUT THE PUMP OFF BEFORE IT SPEWS GAS ALL OVER SIDE OF CAR. *TR

WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS EVERY TIME THAT I WENT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, GAS WOULD START POURING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP SO I WENT TO SEVERAL OTHER STATIONS AND EVERY TIME, GAS CAME OUT. THE WARRANTY FOR MY TRUCK JUST RECENTLY WENT UP AND I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM PAY FOR THIS OUT OF THEIR POCKET. IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS FAULTY WITH THEIR GAS TANKS AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SEEING AN ISSUE. HOPEFULLY WITH YOUR HELP A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL AND MAKE CHRYSLER STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY. ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2007 DODGE NITRO R/T OVERFLOW ON GAS TANK SPILL QUART OF FUEL ON EACH FILLUP. I UNDERSTAND THE TANK HAS A FAULTY CUTOFF INSIDE THE TANK WHICH MALFUNCTIONS. THAT MEANS IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL OVER IT WILL RELEASE FUEL WHICH INCREASES PROBABILITY OF FIRE/DEATHS. DODGE IS REPLACING TANK ON VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY - THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE TANKS. HELP! *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE NITRO WITH 47,000 MILES THAT RECENTLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE IS BEING HELD OR IF YOU SET IT TO FILL AUTOMATICALLY. AS SOON AS THE GAS STOPS PUMPING, YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A BURPING SOUND THEN ABOUT A CUP FULL OR MORE OF GAS COMES SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. HAVE HEARD OF OTHER NITRO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HAVING THE GAS TANK REPLACED BECAUSE OF A STUCK ROLL OVER VALVE. MY VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

EVERY TIME I GET FUEL THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, AND THEN FUEL WILL POUR OUT OF THE FUEL FILLING AREA. IT *TR
