| When filling up the gas tank, after pump automatically shuts off, approximately 1/2 gallon of gas overflows. this has happened 3 times. the last time, gas was propelled into my face and all over my clothes. research indicates that this is due to a defect in the valve that prevents gas leakage during/after a rollover crash. this is worrisome in and of itself, but especially when combined with the other 2 problems i've had with this vehicle. about 2 years ago, i was going to exit the driver's seat when the interior door handle broke off in my hand. the master switch for the power windows stopped working within a few days of that. i am worried that i can be in an accident in which the car catches fire due to the defective valve, and i will not be able to exit my car if the door handle breaks off again and the windows won't roll down. i have been told that the fix for this valve is to get the gas tank replaced, at my own expense. also, when i went to the dealer to order my door handle, they already had some in stock, which indicates, to me, that this is a common problem and yet chrysler has not recalled it. the shoddy construction of this vehicle combined with the lack of assistance from chrysler has ensured that i will never purchase another one of their products again. *tr | |||

| Occasionally, when i am filling up my tank with gas (regardless of the gas station) the auto shutoff mechanism will not work and a moderate amount of gasoline will overflow out of the tank and onto the car/street. *tr | |||

| When fueling the car, the auto shutoff does not work and fuel spews out of the tank. this is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that is there to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident. the valve is defective, and thus the gas spills out, and the car could possibly explode in a rollover accident. i had taken it to a dealership about a year ago and all they would do is clean out the filter. that did not resolve the problem. | |||
