Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE NITRO IN OCT. 08, EVER SINCE THEN, WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT WOULD EXPLODE OUT OF THE TANK, AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMPS, BUT JUST DECIDED IT WAS THE CAR AT FAULT, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN TO GET GAS, SO I CALLED DODGE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS ,SO THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. SO MY POINT IS, DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE FOR A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. ALSO I FOUND PAGES OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET.. SO PLEASE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE ISSUE MYSELF.
