Consumer Description

MY 07 DODGE NITRO RT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WHILE FILLING UP, IT DOESN'T STOP LIKE OTHER VEHICLES AND JUST OVER FLOWS SPLASHING GAS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND FLOOR. MY FIX FOR THIS WAS JUST TO NOT FULLY FILL THE TANK. THE OTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR IS THAT I'VE HAD A "GAS CAP" ERROR LIGHT THAT AFTER REPLACING SAID GAS CAP AND A TRIP TO PEPBOYS TURNED OUT IT WAS A SMALL EVAP LEAK CAUSED BY A FAULTY GAS TANK/INNARDS COMMON IN OLDER NITROS, IN MY EXPERIENCE THIS ALSO CAUSES A HARD START. I THINK THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE IN THE GAS TANK AND WOULD LIKE SOME GUIDENCE ON A RESOLVE. THANK YOU
