FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

 I have problems when fueling my vehicle. i do not top off. when the auto shut off on the hose clicks, gas will shoot out of the vehicle. this will happen every time if i don't stop the fuel before i know it is almost full. because of this back flush of fuel, the check engine light will come on along with the gascap light. had this checked and dealership put a new gas cap on and changed a filter in the gas tank. a few months later the same problem happened. i was told that i needed an entire new gas tank. i was not about to spend that much money, so i said i would just be sure not to fill the tank to full. again, i have the check engine light on and the gascap light. when will a recall be issued so the tank gets replaced on chrystler's dollar? shouldn't the gas tank have a lifetime warranty unless there is neglect or an accident?

 As you are putting gas into the fuel tank it will overflow from filler spout. this will happen no matter the amount of fuel in tank. gas overflowing on the 2007 dodge nitro when attempting to fill the tank 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.

 I filled fuel tank and used the auto fuel fill feature at the fuel pump the pump shut off and when it did approx a quart of gas came spurting out all over the paint and onto the ground leaving a puddle of fuel,to me this is a major safety problem and should, but is not a recall for this vehicle.

 I am having multiple issues. the gas tank overflows every time i get gas, the air conditioner only cools while driving and sometimes produces heat instead, the locks do not work 4 out of 7 days a week, the tpm signal comes on every few days even though the tires are fine, and the windows do not work on occasion. although this appears to me there is an electrical and gas tank issue, there are not any recalls issued at this time. i have called the dealer several times and have been told that i will need to bring it by when things are not working in order for them to do any type of diagnostic testing. i consider both electrical and gas to be a safety issue and would like for someone to address this concern. in addition, but i am not sure if it is directly related to the electrical issue, both brake lights stopped working.

 I am writing this complaint due to the fuel valvue system being a defect. there has been so many complaints regarding the fuel system such as when your pumping gas it is overflowing due to the fule valve not working properly like it should. this is a big safety reason due to it shuts the fuel off if the car are rolled over which may cause serious injury to whoever is involved. my car only has 38,500 miles on the car and is used. i got it a year ago and it did it to me twice when i first did it but then havent done it since the last 5 fuel ups and now it is over flowing every time. they have recalled the jeeps due to this problem but they have not the dodge nitros. the dodge nitros have the same fuel tank in them as the jeeps so what are they waiting for. for someone to get seriously injuried or even die because of this problem. it get it repaired cost over 1,000. i got it used and the dealer isnt even willing to cover it. i believe they should recall the dodge nitros for the fuel system due to the seriousiness of this because i know i am goign to be having a newborn very soon and the safety is very high and if they do not get recall i will be getting it fixed since now a days the people who sell these products dont care about their customers anymore.

 Gas overflows everytime i fill my car. i have read that this is caused by a valve in the gas tank that is there to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident and that the valve is defective, and thus the gas spills out, and your car could possibly explode in a rollover accident. i have read that this is a manufacturing defect, and that chrysler knows about it but has done nothing to resolve the issue. this is a big issue and a recal should be put in place.

 During refueling, whether manual shutoff or automatic shutoff, fuel overflows from filler neck. this began about 27,000 miles and continues. spilled fuel on skin is causing irritation. multiple incidents, search on internet reveals numerous complaints form multiple owners of same safety failure. significant gasoline spills out, flies onto persons fueling vehicle and ground, causing potential fire hazard. this must be addressed with a recall, dealer claims no knowledge of multiple complaints from consumers and hazard is great.

 When filling the vehicle up with gas the pump does not shut off. it has spewed gasoline all over me, the vehicle and the ground. it appears to be a problem with a valve in the gas tank. this is a safety concern. i hope they don't wait until someone is killed in a fire in order to fix the issue.

 2007 dodge nitro, fuel spills out of tank when filling up vehiclle. gasoline stations pump auto shutoff won't work with vehicle causing fuel to come splashing out when full. from investigation of other incidents from other owners, 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 your car could possibly explode in a rollover accident. i have read that this is a manufacturing defect, and that chrysler knows about it and will not repair without charge unless under warranty.

 Regardless of which station i use, gas overflows from my tank every time i refuel. in order to avoid this, i have to stop fueling because it never automatically shuts off. i've read blogs & talked to other dodge nitro and jeep owners and they are experiencing the same problem. not only is this damaging to the vehicle, it is unsafe to have gas spilling over at the stations and having gas on the exterior of the vehicle while driving.

 2007 dodge nitro 4 x 4 - when filling with fuel a problem in the gas tank and or filler neck assembly makes significant quantities of fuel spill, and in some cases under force, spray out of the vehicle. approximately 1-2 measuring cups is the general amount. fuel spills on vehicle, gas filler nozzle assembly, the ground, and often on the person filing the vehicle. this happens on every fill up with fuel. i have personally seen 2 other nitro vehicles and one jeep liberty suv have the same issue while at a gas station. gas station attendants actually commented this happens on these vehicles, all the time. the dodge corporation website pages specific to nitro owners have hundreds of complaints listed on this issue. contacted local dealer - was told they are completely unaware of the issue. they charged for diagnostics and said the entire fuel system needs replacement. they quoted 3 times the amount to have work done at a local independant shop. they refused to guarantee the problem would not continue. complaint #21091094 filed with chrysler corp. research from other owners states a valve or vent molded into the tank is the issue. problem persists with vehicle as of the date of this filing. anecdotal accounts that a defective rollover shut off valve at the top of the tank is the real problem. i have been unable to independantly verify this is even a part on the tank assembly. this is a major safety, and environmental pollution issue on many thousands of vehicles - please help owners of the multiple models and lines of vehicles which are affected by chryslers refusal to admit there is an issue or voluntarily fix these cars!

 Tl- the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. the contact stated that the gas filler did not detect when the gas tank is full, causing the gasoline to overflow onto the vehicle. the dealer was contacted, but was unable to assist the contact; the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 55,000. the vin was not unavailable. nw

 2007 dodge nitro, 3.7l engine, 4wd - everytime i fill the tank with gas, before the pump shuts off, gas spills out of the fuel filler. i've read about the jeep liberty and other dodge nitro's doing the same thing. i've tried different gas stations, filling slowly, etc. all with the same result. at $4.00 per gallon, i can't afford to waste a drop of gas. not to mention the environmental imapct of spilling gas all over the ground. we need to get the gov't involved and do a recall to fix the fuel tank rollover valve. if the us dept of transportation doesn't do anything - lets get the environmentalist involved. this is not only a safety issue right now (fuel spilling all over the ground could cause a fire), but if the car is involved in a rollover, gas will spill all over the place. help me, help us all, help the environment.

 Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4. the contact stated while refueling the vehicle, the fuel would overflow and onto the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the failure could possibly be a rollover valve in the fuel tank that was faulty. the dealer advised that the rollover valve should be replaced because in the event that the vehicle did rollover, all of the gasoline would spill. there were no recalls for the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 30,000.

 Tl-the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. the contact stated while filling the vehicle with gasoline it will overflow back out all over the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated it could possible be a roll over valve in the gasoline tank that has a problem. this roll over valve should be replaced because if the vehicle rolled over all the gasoline would leak out. this will be a cost of $500 to him and there are no recalls or warranty for this failure. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 30,000...mw

 When our 2007 dodge nitro is fueled up it over flows out of the gas tank neck. when fueling the gas pump nozzle will shut off as it should but then approximately a quart of gas will come shooting out of the gas tank neck and with this amount of fuel spilling it appears to me to be a very dangerous situation. it has also shot out and consequently covered my pants and shoes with gasoline and then to have to get in your vehicle and drive home is disgusting because of the smell. the spilling occurs every time that you fuel up even when you kick the nozzle off manually when near full. this is defenitely a manufacturer defect and thank god a fire has not occurred becasue of the fuel spilling. the dodge dealer informs me that it is going to require a new gas tank at the cost of $364.00 plus labor. this vehicle is only four years old with 32,000 miles, which i have owned since brand new.
03/16/201150000
 My nitro spews gas all over when i am filling it too. talked to dealer,they told me it was the pump. not the case. this has happened at many, many different pumps. called chrysler directly and they threw another story at me that was a total lie. everytime i fill up if i don't listen close enough it shoots gas out the filler neck and all over the vehicle. this is a serious safety matter that they refuse to address and pay for. i am calling an attorney this week to have them address this. hopefully chrysler will absorb all costs. doubt it but it's worth a try.

 Hi i bought my 2007 dodge nitro in 2007, i have not had many issues a few minor ones no biggie. but recently the last year and a half my check engine light kept coming on then going away coming on then going away. it was getting me aggravated. eeverytime i took it in to the dealer they said no everything is fine ok sure. lately everytime i go to fill up my tank it has been overflowing. so i was really fed up i took it in and explained the situation to them (dealer) they informed me that it will need a new fuel tank and fill neck. now i have done some research and aparantly im not the only nitro owner going through this issue. i hear that the valve is defective and that it's a manufacturer defect and that chyrysler knows about it. now bear in mind we have all been driving a car god forbid got into an accident and the car blows up because of that. i am not happy i will pursue this and my service better get covered thank god i got the extra warranty!!!! i suggest on eveybody's behalf that a recall is issued and if i pay the deuctable i want my money back!!!!

 I own a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4, bought it in 2010 since buying it i have had persistant problems with filling the tank. it seems that when i would fill the tank to the point that the pump shuts off i would have fuel shoot back out and down the side of the vehicle and on the ground. excuse but do we not see a serious problem here? took the vehicle to dealer first they replaced a canister located in the fuel tank. did not fix the problem. then they checked the fuel tank vacum line for kinked line again not fixed. finally they determined the roll over valve is faulty so they replaced the tank out of my pocket. my mileage was only in the 30,000 range and the warrenty was expired. i have read hundreds of other complaints abuot this very subject and still dodge refuses to make this right. there is no recall on this problem any where and i would think dodge would want to make this right. did they not learn from toyotas mistakes. complaints include 2007 and 2008.

 2007 dodge nitro gas tank overflows everytime tank is filled. when fuel pump clicks off several seconds later 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of fuel spills all over the back of the car and ground. causing a fire hazard. from my understanding it is a check valve in the fuel tank that dodge will not cover. my nitro is out of warranty.

 Fuel spills out all over the ground when fueling the vehicle. started about a year ago when mileage was around 47,000. now at 68,000 it is still doing it. i have to guess when to stop fueling. please recall this vehicle again. very dangerous and not good for the environment when fuel spills onto the ground and later enters our bays.

 When fueling vehicle, gasoline will always squirt out of the filler pipe. this is a fire safety issue that chrysler should be addressing. i have to put my ear down next to the filler to hear when the tank is getting close to full, and hopefully shut the pump off before it spews gas all over side of car.
01/01/201142000
 Within the last few weeks every time that i went to fill up my gas tank, gas would start pouring out of the gas tank. at first i thought it was the pump so i went to several other stations and every time, gas came out. the warranty for my truck just recently went up and i've made several calls to chrysler to have them pay for this out of their pocket. it's something that is faulty with their gas tanks and i'm not the only one that is seeing an issue. hopefully with your help a recall can be issued for this model and make chrysler stand by their product regardless of warranty. its a major safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

 When fueling vehicle, gasoline will always squirt out of the filler pipe. this is a fire safety issue that chrysler should be addressing. i have to put my ear down next to the filler to hear when the tank is getting close to full, and hopefully shut the pump off before it spews gas all over side of car.

 I own a 2007 dodge nitro with 47,000 miles that recently every time i fill up the gas tank, gas will spray out of the filler neck. it doesn't matter if the gas pump nozzle is being held or if you set it to fill automatically. as soon as the gas stops pumping, you can hear what sounds like a burping sound then about a cup full or more of gas comes spraying out of the filler neck. have heard of other nitro owners with the same problem having the gas tank replaced because of a stuck roll over valve. my vehicle has yet to be repaired. .

 Drive a 2007 dodge nitro and every time i fill my gas tank for the past 8 months the pump will shut off (like it should) then when i go to take the pump put gas shoots everywhere on me the car and ground i have not been able to fill my tank at all i have to stop when i think it might be getting semi-full. i have read many forums on this problem. and believe that it i common proplem with dodge nitros and should be fixed soon before it gets worse.

 When filling gas tank, once the tank is full it does not trigger the fuel pump to shut off and gas comes spewing out of the tank until you manually shut off the fuel pump.

 When filling my 2007 dodge nitro up with gas, there is no automatic shut off when the tank is about to be full, causing gas to spill out on the vehicle and gas station. this has been happening for about a year, i mentioned it to the car dealership where i purchased it, but they did not look into it. now that dealership is closed and the new service station says i am 600 miles past my warrenty at 36600 miles.

 Vehicle 2007 dodge nitro slt 3.7 v-6: when fueling up the gas pump would click off and gas would come pumping out of the fuel door. took my nitro to the dealership for repairs and after 2 failed previous repairs dodge replaced the gas tank and found a rollover valve was stuck which causes pressure in the tank. the pressure would build up and as you fill up the gas would over flow when tank was full. *tr

 I have had a continuous problems with stalling, transmission, and braking with my new vehicle! the dealer did the recalls the reprogramming for all compontents and even replaced a kinked fuel line and they did not document that they replaced it, they told me that it wasn't available from dodge so they said they pulled it off one on the lot! the transmission slips, chugs, chatters, shudders,everything that a transmission is not susposto do! so they replaced the torque converter,i got it back and after about 20 minutes of driving the same problems started again just not as bad, each time i drive it it gets worst just not as frequent,now with the brakes, the esp/bas light comes on, when its on the brakes are real touchy like sudden stopping ,and lunging you forward, the dealer cut the rotors for a pulsation but did nothing about the light coming on! i guess if the computer doesn't say there is something wrong then nothing is, a computer is only as smart as who programmed it! there are many other problems, its been in the dealer 3 times for a total of ten days so far mainly the same three components well i have to take it back again because there is still something wrong with it, and now the engine has a loud tick, and a hissing sound along with the same concerns as before. *tr
