Consumer Description

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS COMES SHOOTING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 9/2010 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UNLESS I STOP IT BEFORE IT IS COMPLETELY FULL. I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SOAKED IN GASOLINE BECAUSE OF THE VELOCITY OF THE GAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AS THERE ARE RECALLS ON JEEPS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A RECALL ON THE DODGE VEHICLES. *TR
