Consumer Description

MY 2007 DODGE NITRO SPILLS GASOLINE EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS. THE PUMP FAILS TO SHUT OFF AND GASOLINE SPEWES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE PAVEMENT AND ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS MY LEGS AND SHOES. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS AND ONLY STARTED RECENTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY VENT VALVE INSIDE THE TANK THAT MUST BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION THE FAULTY VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS IN CASE THE VEHICLE ROLLS OVER. IF THIS VALVE IS FAULTY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR NITRO OWNERS. *TR
