Consumer Description

WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS AND DOES NOT GET SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION, AT ANY PUMP, SO IT IS DEFINITELY WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF. IT STARTED A WHILE AGO, BUT HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT AND MORE GAS SPILLING. CURRENTLY IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF GAS. ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY SPARK HITTING THAT SPILLED FUEL AND TRAVELING UP INTO THE GAS TANK WOULD BE DISASTROUS. THERE ARE DODGE NITRO FORUMS WHERE TONS OF OTHER OWNERS TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM TOO. ON TOP OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THOUSANDS OF NITRO OWNERS SPILLING FUEL, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. *TR
