| The gas nozzle does not cut off when the tank is full, therefore causing large amounts of gas to spill on ground. | |||

| While refueling gas will overflow onto the truck and ground. this happens every time i refuel now. it does not matter how much gas is in the tank, what gas station, time of day, winter or summer, the result is the same fuel overflow. | |||

| Upon filling up gas tank, i have had gas shoot out at me from the filling nozzle. i have tried to remedy this situation by slowing down as i am coming close to filling my gas tank at 18 gallons and i still have gas pour out of the vehicle and onto the floor. when filling gas tank you can hear gurgling sounds coming from the fuel fill nozzle. major concern of fire hazard as well as possibly being splashed in the face with gasoline unexpectedly for other buyers. | |||

| When filling up the fuel tank, gas overflows and does not get shut off automatically when the tank is full. this happens at any gas station, at any pump, so it is definitely with the vehicle itself. it started a while ago, but has gotten more frequent and more gas spilling. currently it happens every time and is a fair amount of gas. any static electricity spark hitting that spilled fuel and traveling up into the gas tank would be disastrous. there are dodge nitro forums where tons of other owners talk about the problem too. on top of the environmental impact of thousands of nitro owners spilling fuel, this is a serious safety issue, and chrysler needs to issue a recall immediately. | |||

| I bought this vehicle used in october of 2011, so i only know the problem started with my first gas tank fill up. after each and every fill up several ounces of gasoline leak from the tank area...this does not come from the hole where the gas pump nozzle goes, it seems to be leaking from beneath that point. this is problematic because the entire bottom left portion of my vehicle is bathed in gasoline. upon researching this problem i have found that many other dodge nitro owners are experiencing the same problem. my gas attendant also has told me that this seems to be a problem with the dodge nitro and a few models of the jeep. his suggestion is to never fill my tank to full again. that is not a solution, there needs to be a recall issued and dodge needs to take care of this problem, now! | |||

| When fueling up my dodge nitro a couple weeks ago, an annoying problem began to surface. rather than cutting off when full, the gas would overflow. this occured every time that i fueled up no matter where i was fueling. this is due to the malfunction of a valve in the gas tank. upon researching, i have found that this is more than just an annoyance, and ruining the paint, but it is dangerous. if my vehicle were to be involved in a roll over accident the malfunction of this valve will cause the leakage of fuel and possible explosion of the vehicle. i also found out that in order to solve the problem, the entire gas tank needs to be replaced. i believe this to be a major safety issue and believe that dodge should issue a recall on the part. | |||

| Fuel burps out of my 2007 dodge nitro every time i fill up with fuel. this is due to a faulty valve in the tank that is designed to shut off fuel in the event of a roll over. dodge is aware of this problem and needs to offer a recall. this is a dangerous and environmentally irresponsible problem. | |||
