Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT IT HAS CAUSED THE GASOLINE TO SHOOT OUT OF MY GAS TANK AND DRENCH ME IN GAS SEVERAL TIMES. I BELIEVE IF THERE IS A SENSOR IN MY GAS TANK THAT IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ENOUGH TO INDICATE THAT THE TANK IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL WHEN I'M PUMPING GAS. WHEN I PULL OUT THE NOZZLE THE GAS SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE ( THIS IS AFTER THE GAS HAS SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP). DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED BUT IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR ME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. THE DODGE DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE WHEN NEW DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE MY COMPLAINT SO I'M LOOKING TO OTHER SOURCES TO SEE IF THIS IS JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM OR ONE THAT IS WORTH INVESTIGATING FURTHER FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT. *TR
