Consumer Description
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK UP AS THE PUMP KICKS OFF AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK SPLASHING ONTO MY LEGS AND SPILLING ON TO THE GROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT A DODGE DEALER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE ISN'T A RECALL BUT THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ALSO, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE A FEW SECONDS AFTER ACTIVATING THE LOCKS EITHER MANUALLY OR USING THE KEY FOB THE CAR UNLOCKS AND THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON. I HAD TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT OF MY KEY FOB AS IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY UNLOCK AND ACTIVATE THE HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT. WHEN MANUALLY LOCKING THE VEHICLE IT STILL UNLOCKS ITSELF A FEW SECONDS LATER BUT DOES NOT CONTINUALLY UNLOCK LIKE WHEN THE KEY FOB IS IN USE.
