Consumer Description

REFUELING SPILLAGE DODGE NITRO R/T WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVERFLOWS UP THRU THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE PERSON WHO IS REFUELING THE SUV, THUS CAUSING IT TO SPILL OVER THE PAINT OF THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 30 - 50OZ OF GAS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS OCCURS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME THE NITRO IS FUELED UP. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL I HAD ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. BELOW ARE THE ISSUES NOTED BY OTHER DODGE NITRO OWNERS ON THE NITRO FORUMS WEBSITE.
