2007 DODGE NITRO Fuelpropulsion System Problems

FUEL TANK SPILLS FUEL WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL SPEWED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT WOULD REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN IT. THE PUMP CLICKS, I PULL IT OUT AND ABOUT A HALF A TANK OF GAS SPEWS ALL OVER ME AND THE CAR. AT TIMES IT HAPPENS BEFORE THE PUMP EVEN SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. *TR

FUEL TANK DOES NOT VENTILATE, WHEN PUMPING FUEL PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, PERSON ATTENDING FUEL PUMP, AND THE GROUND. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED ON AUTO IT CLICKS THE PUMP OFF AND SPEWS GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. DODGE COMPLAINT DEPT SAYS THEY HAVE NO RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS , YET EVERY 2007 OWNER I TALK TO HAS THIS PROBLEM. WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS JUST OUR CAR THAT DID THIS. SOME ONE IS GOING TO PULL UP TO THE SPOT WHERE A NITRO WAS REFILLED/SPILLED WITH A LIT CIGARETTE AND THERE WILL BE A SIZABLE FIRE, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES, AT SEVERAL GAS STATIONS, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF CAUSING GAS TO OVERFLOW. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL UP AND FILL THE TANK FULL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY RISK, AS WELL AS A WASTE OF GASOLINE. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF A ROLLOVER DETECTION SYSTEM. DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
