NHTSA Complaint #10487884 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

I BOUGHT MY 2007 NITRO IN OCTOBER WITH ABOUT 68,000 MILES. EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I FILLED UP MY TANK GAS SPITS BACK UP OUT THE FUEL HOSE WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING QUITE A BIT I DISCOVERED THIS ISN'T A NEW PROBLEM, CHRYSLER KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT AND EVEN HAD AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT. THE INLET VALVE IS FAULTY AND DOESN'T CLOSE CORRECTLY, LEADING TO GAS SPILLS AT THE PUMP AND GAS SPILLS IF THE VEHICLE ROLLS OVER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO IGNITE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER THE PAST WEEK OR SO AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY REFUSING TO HELP REPAIR THEIR OWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THEY WON'T GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ASK AND I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF IT. THEY DON'T THINK SO. THEY SAID, "AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM, UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO HELP WITH THE COSTS OF ANY REPAIRS." TO FIX THIS YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK - UPWARDS OF $1000 THAT I DON'T HAVE BECAUSE I JUST FREAKIN' BOUGHT THEIR VEHICLE! IRRESPONSIBLE, WOW. *TR
