I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT TOP OFF. WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE HOSE CLICKS, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME IF I DON'T STOP THE FUEL BEFORE I KNOW IT IS ALMOST FULL. BECAUSE OF THIS BACK FLUSH OF FUEL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON ALONG WITH THE GASCAP LIGHT. HAD THIS CHECKED AND DEALERSHIP PUT A NEW GAS CAP ON AND CHANGED A FILTER IN THE GAS TANK. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY, SO I SAID I WOULD JUST BE SURE NOT TO FILL THE TANK TO FULL. AGAIN, I HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE GASCAP LIGHT. WHEN WILL A RECALL BE ISSUED SO THE TANK GETS REPLACED ON CHRYSLER'S DOLLAR? SHOULDN'T THE GAS TANK HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY UNLESS THERE IS NEGLECT OR AN ACCIDENT? *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AT EVERY FILLUP. *JS

WHEN I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND THE FUEL NOZZLE HAD SHUT OFF GAS OVERFLOWED AND SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS DO TO A DEFECTIVE AIR VENT IN THE FUEL TANK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE AIR VENT IN THE FUEL TANK IS TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING A VEHICLE ROLL OVER. IF THE AIR VENT IS DEFECTIVE THEN I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE GAS TANK COULD EXPLODE DURING A ROLL OVER. *TR

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE FUEL VALVE SYSTEM BEING A DEFECT. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM SUCH AS WHEN YOUR PUMPING GAS IT IS OVERFLOWING DUE TO THE FUEL VALVE NOT WORKING PROPERLY LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY REASON DUE TO IT SHUTS THE FUEL OFF IF THE CAR ARE ROLLED OVER WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO WHOEVER IS INVOLVED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 38,500 MILES ON THE CAR AND IS USED. I GOT IT A YEAR AGO AND IT DID IT TO ME TWICE WHEN I FIRST DID IT BUT THEN HAVEN'T DONE IT SINCE THE LAST 5 FUEL UPS AND NOW IT IS OVER FLOWING EVERY TIME. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE JEEPS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT THE DODGE NITROS. THE DODGE NITROS HAVE THE SAME FUEL TANK IN THEM AS THE JEEPS SO WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR. FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT GET IT REPAIRED COST OVER 1,000. I GOT IT USED AND THE DEALER ISN'T EVEN WILLING TO COVER IT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD RECALL THE DODGE NITROS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS BECAUSE I KNOW I AM GOING TO BE HAVING A NEWBORN VERY SOON AND THE SAFETY IS VERY HIGH AND IF THEY DO NOT GET RECALL I WILL BE GETTING IT FIXED SINCE NOW A DAYS THE PEOPLE WHO SELL THESE PRODUCTS DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS ANYMORE. *TR

I AM HAVING MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I GET GAS, THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY COOLS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES PRODUCES HEAT INSTEAD, THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK 4 OUT OF 7 DAYS A WEEK, THE TPM SIGNAL COMES ON EVERY FEW DAYS EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE FINE, AND THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK ON OCCASION. ALTHOUGH THIS APPEARS TO ME THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL AND GAS TANK ISSUE, THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS ISSUED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL NEED TO BRING IT BY WHEN THINGS ARE NOT WORKING IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO ANY TYPE OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I CONSIDER BOTH ELECTRICAL AND GAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN. IN ADDITION, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I FILL MY CAR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT AND THAT THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND YOUR CAR COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE. *TR

DURING REFUELING, WHETHER MANUAL SHUTOFF OR AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER NECK. THIS BEGAN ABOUT 27,000 MILES AND CONTINUES. SPILLED FUEL ON SKIN IS CAUSING IRRITATION. MULTIPLE INCIDENTS, SEARCH ON INTERNET REVEALS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FORM MULTIPLE OWNERS OF SAME SAFETY FAILURE. SIGNIFICANT GASOLINE SPILLS OUT, FLIES ONTO PERSONS FUELING VEHICLE AND GROUND, CAUSING POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL, DEALER CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS AND HAZARD IS GREAT. *TR

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.

REGARDLESS OF WHICH STATION I USE, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM MY TANK EVERY TIME I REFUEL. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, I HAVE TO STOP FUELING BECAUSE IT NEVER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. I'VE READ BLOGS & TALKED TO OTHER DODGE NITRO AND JEEP OWNERS AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS THIS DAMAGING TO THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE GAS SPILLING OVER AT THE STATIONS AND HAVING GAS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2007 DODGE NITRO 4 X 4 - WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL A PROBLEM IN THE GAS TANK AND OR FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY MAKES SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF FUEL SPILL, AND IN SOME CASES UNDER FORCE, SPRAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MEASURING CUPS IS THE GENERAL AMOUNT. FUEL SPILLS ON VEHICLE, GAS FILLER NOZZLE ASSEMBLY, THE GROUND, AND OFTEN ON THE PERSON FILING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY FILL UP WITH FUEL. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN 2 OTHER NITRO VEHICLES AND ONE JEEP LIBERTY SUV HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHILE AT A GAS STATION. GAS STATION ATTENDANTS ACTUALLY COMMENTED THIS HAPPENS ON THESE VEHICLES, "ALL THE TIME". THE DODGE CORPORATION WEBSITE PAGES SPECIFIC TO NITRO OWNERS HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS ISSUE. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER - WAS TOLD THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY QUOTED 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT TO HAVE WORK DONE AT A LOCAL INDEPENDENT SHOP. THEY REFUSED TO GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT CONTINUE. COMPLAINT #21091094 FILED WITH CHRYSLER CORP. RESEARCH FROM OTHER OWNERS STATES A VALVE OR VENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK IS THE ISSUE. PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH VEHICLE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS FILING. ANECDOTAL ACCOUNTS THAT A DEFECTIVE "ROLLOVER SHUT OFF VALVE" AT THE TOP OF THE TANK IS THE REAL PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THIS IS EVEN A PART ON THE TANK ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ISSUE ON MANY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES - PLEASE HELP OWNERS OF THE MULTIPLE MODELS AND LINES OF VEHICLES WHICH ARE AFFECTED BY CHRYSLERS REFUSAL TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE OR VOLUNTARILY FIX THESE CARS!

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.

WHEN OUR 2007 DODGE NITRO IS FUELED UP IT OVER FLOWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK NECK. WHEN FUELING THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF AS IT SHOULD BUT THEN APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GAS WILL COME SHOOTING OUT OF THE GAS TANK NECK AND WITH THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS ALSO SHOT OUT AND CONSEQUENTLY COVERED MY PANTS AND SHOES WITH GASOLINE AND THEN TO HAVE TO GET IN YOUR VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME IS DISGUSTING BECAUSE OF THE SMELL. THE SPILLING OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT YOU FUEL UP EVEN WHEN YOU KICK THE NOZZLE OFF MANUALLY WHEN NEAR FULL. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THANK GOD A FIRE HAS NOT OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SPILLING. THE DODGE DEALER INFORMS ME THAT IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE A NEW GAS TANK AT THE COST OF $364.00 PLUS LABOR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD WITH 32,000 MILES, WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE BRAND NEW. *TR

MY NITRO SPEWS GAS ALL OVER WHEN I AM FILLING IT TOO. TALKED TO DEALER,THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE PUMP. NOT THE CASE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY, MANY DIFFERENT PUMPS. CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND THEY THREW ANOTHER STORY AT ME THAT WAS A TOTAL LIE. EVERYTIME I FILL UP IF I DON'T LISTEN CLOSE ENOUGH IT SHOOTS GAS OUT THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER THAT THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS AND PAY FOR. I AM CALLING AN ATTORNEY THIS WEEK TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THIS. HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL ABSORB ALL COSTS. DOUBT IT BUT IT'S WORTH A TRY. *TR

HI I BOUGHT MY 2007 DODGE NITRO IN 2007, I HAVE NOT HAD MANY ISSUES A FEW MINOR ONES NO BIGGIE. BUT RECENTLY THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON THEN GOING AWAY COMING ON THEN GOING AWAY. IT WAS GETTING ME AGGRAVATED. EVERYTIME I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID NO EVERYTHING IS FINE OK SURE. LATELY EVERYTIME I GO TO FILL UP MY TANK IT HAS BEEN OVERFLOWING. SO I WAS REALLY FED UP I TOOK IT IN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM (DEALER) THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL NEED A NEW FUEL TANK AND FILL NECK. NOW I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY IM NOT THE ONLY NITRO OWNER GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE. I HEAR THAT THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE AND THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. NOW BEAR IN MIND WE HAVE ALL BEEN DRIVING A CAR GOD FORBID GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR BLOWS UP BECAUSE OF THAT.

IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I WOULD FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT THE PUMP SHUTS OFF I WOULD HAVE FUEL SHOOT BACK OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. EXCUSE BUT DO WE NOT SEE A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE? TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FIRST THEY REPLACED A CANISTER LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY IN THE 30,000 RANGE AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT AND STILL DODGE REFUSES TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.
