Consumer Description

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 DODGE NITRO, WHEN REACHING FULL AND THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF SEVERAL CUPS OF FUEL COME BACK OUT THE FILLER LOCATION AND SPRAY OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, GROUND, PUMP, AND ANYBODY STANDING NEARBY. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL GAS PUMPS AND STATIONS. UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VENT IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, WHICH COULD LEAD TO BOTH A FIRE AT THE GAS STATION, AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF EXPLOSION IF INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. *TR
