Consumer Description

WHEN FUELING UP MY DODGE NITRO A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AN ANNOYING PROBLEM BEGAN TO SURFACE. RATHER THAN CUTTING OFF WHEN FULL, THE GAS WOULD OVERFLOW. THIS OCCURRED EVERY TIME THAT I FUELED UP NO MATTER WHERE I WAS FUELING. THIS IS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. UPON RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS MORE THAN JUST AN ANNOYANCE, AND RUINING THE PAINT, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF MY VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS VALVE WILL CAUSE THE LEAKAGE OF FUEL AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PART. *TR
