| Fuel will splash out of tank every time i fill up and use auto shut off. this is a common problem with chrysler/dodge vehicles if you search for complaints online and 45,000 2005 durangos were apparently recalled for the same problem. this is a huge fire hazard at gas stations as well as something that can potentially damage the paint on my vehicle. dodge is claiming no responsibility for the issue. *tr | |||

| Gas overflows from tank when filling up. there is nothing you can do to stop it. apparently the problem is with a defective shutoff valve that is supposed to stop the fuel tank from exploding in the case of a bad accident. seems like a issue to me... *tr | |||

| When i fuel the vehicle up fuel bursts out, and doesn't shut off automatically. i've tried numerous different stations and even different pumps but this still happens. gas pours out of the car and down the sides and even onto me..a pain and waste of money. there are several situations and claims that i have seen like this that need to be recalled and addressed. i have heard (from a family member who is a mechanic)that this is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident the valve is obviously defective and now nothing it stopping it from exploding from a rollover accident. chrysler knows about this and this should be covered under manufacture defect (recall) please fix this and address this issue asap! *tr | |||

| Problem with the gas overflowing when attempting to fill the tank - 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 could possibly explode in a rollover accident. i have read that this is a manufacturing defect, and that chrysler knows about it. i am possibly driving a dangerous vehicle. this is about more than gasoline spilling at the gas station !!!! *tr | |||

| During multiple incidents, the vehicle has burped gas when the tank fills.about a 1/2 gallon of gas spills out the fuel filler neck and onto the body of the vehicle and onto the ground. i see internet sites claiming this to be a frequent problem with this vehicle. there is no indication when the gas will spew from the tank and this occurs during manual pump operation as well is if the pump handle is on automatic fill. *tr | |||

| When filling the vehicle with gas, when the pump clicks off gas spews from the filler tube. it runs down the side of the vehicle and also gets all over whosoever is filling the vehicle. you cannot safely fill this vehicle with gas, no matter how slow you try. you must stop before the vehicle is full. *tr | |||

| When putting gas into the vehicle it leaks gas out of the place where you pump it. i thought maybe it was the pump but it has happened at several other pumps and locations. *tr | |||

| During fuel filling, fuel intake valve does not work, causing significant amounts of gasoline to spill (gush) out onto pavement. this is sufficient to pose environmental hazard as well as fire hazard. discussed with dealership where purchased. will not cover repair. *tr | |||

| When i fill up the vehicle with gas it overflows. it doesn't shut off automatically. gas then pours out of the car and down the side. many times the person pumping the gas gets it all over themselves. it is not the gas pump, i've tried several different stations. *tr | |||

| Every time i fill my fuel tank in my 08 dodge nitro rt it spills out all over the ground. this occurs when im setting the pump to stop automatically and the pump stops then the tank starts to spill. it seems to a check valve issue with the tank an can be a safety hazard at the fuel stations for myself and others around. a simple spark due to a faulty ground in the area could cause this to ignite and be potentially fatal. i feel chrysler should be held responsible for this and a safety recall be issued. many people have had this problem and it appears that the powers that be are not enforcing chrysler to make this a recall issue. i guess it will take someone to become severely injured or killed before anything is done about it. chrysler has a tsb (14-001-09) in regards to this issue so they know it is a problem and they continue to want to charge customers to fix the issue. someone needs to do something about this asap! *tr | |||

| When filling up the gas tank the gas overflows out onto the car and the floor. i have read that there is a valve that should stop the gas from spilling out of the tank in case of a rollover and that is the part that is not working properly. i have stopped trying to fill up my gas tank because of this problem. *tr | |||

| Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while refueling, the fuel pump shut off as gasoline began to spew all over the contact and the side of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to a mechanic for inspection where they stated that the vent valve may have needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 60,000. | |||

| This problem has not caused an accident but it has caused the gasoline to shoot out of my gas tank and drench me in gas several times. i believe if there is a sensor in my gas tank that it is not working properly enough to indicate that the tank is full or close to full when i'm pumping gas. when i pull out the nozzle the gas shoots out all over the place ( this is after the gas has shut off at the pump). don't know if there have been similar incidents reported but it is important enough for me to complain about it. the dodge dealer that sold us the vehicle when new does not seem to want to take the time to investigate my complaint so i'm looking to other sources to see if this is just a random problem or one that is worth investigating further for everyone's benefit. *tr | |||

| Started driving a 2008 nitro the first of the year. upon refueling the vehicle, everytime the some part of the fuel tank causes gas to overflow onto the vehicle and the ground. whether the hose is being pumped manually or triggered to stay on does not change this outcome. this is an evironmental as well as a safety concern. upon some research this problem has occured on previous models. why hasnt a recall been issued? the customer should not incur a cost due to faulty design the company should have fixed. | |||

| The problem is filling up my gas tank. every time i go to fill up the pump shuts off and then about one half of a gallon (maybe more) comes gushing out of the tank all over my vehicle, the ground, my shoes, and whatever else may be in the way. i have read online that it is a default in the gas tank dodge puts on these nitros. its supposed to be a safety thing in case the vehicle were to rollover. but we are talking about a highly flammable liquid just pouring out of my vehicle and onto me and the ground. i am not under warranty anymore, as i bought this vehicle used, but i really don't think i should have to pay to have something like this fixed when dodge knows that it is a default. thank you for any help!!! | |||
