Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN OCTOBER OF 2011, SO I ONLY KNOW THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY FIRST GAS TANK FILL UP. AFTER EACH AND EVERY "FILL UP" SEVERAL OUNCES OF GASOLINE LEAK FROM THE TANK AREA...THIS DOES NOT COME FROM THE HOLE WHERE THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE GOES, IT SEEMS TO BE LEAKING FROM BENEATH THAT POINT. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM LEFT PORTION OF MY VEHICLE IS BATHED IN GASOLINE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER DODGE NITRO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY GAS ATTENDANT ALSO HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE NITRO AND A FEW MODELS OF THE JEEP. HIS SUGGESTION IS TO NEVER FILL MY TANK TO FULL AGAIN. THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED AND DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM, NOW! *TR
