Consumer Description

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FILL FUEL TANK, THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF AS NORMAL WHEN TANK WAS FULL, HOWEVER GASOLINE SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER MY PANTS AND SHOES. THERE WAS PROBABLY A PINT TO A HALF GALLON OF FUEL THAT SHOT OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THE 2007 DODGE NITRO. THIS NOW OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK. SOMEONE IS BOUND TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED OVER THIS SITUATION, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.
