Consumer Description

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE AUTO SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT OVERFILLS AND FUEL SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VAPOR VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK, AND IS EVEN A BIGGER PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER, AS THE FUEL WOULD COME SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS DODGE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE ON OTHER MODELS. *TR
