Consumer Description

STARTED DRIVING A 2008 NITRO THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. UPON REFUELING THE VEHICLE, EVERYTIME THE SOME PART OF THE FUEL TANK CAUSES GAS TO OVERFLOW ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. WHETHER THE HOSE IS BEING PUMPED MANUALLY OR TRIGGERED TO STAY ON DOES NOT CHANGE THIS OUTCOME. THIS IS AN EVIRONMENTAL AS WELL AS A SAFETY CONCERN. UPON SOME RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED ON PREVIOUS MODELS. WHY HASNT A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT INCUR A COST DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE FIXED. *TT
