Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Dodge Avenger

Every time car is started and driven it stalls and/or will completely cut off in the middle of traffic. The fuel tank also has the gas light on and says the car has an empty tank when in fact the car has a full tank. (on going issue).

Major fuel leak, leak is when stationary, and while moving. It's coming from the connection of the fuel tank it's rocking back and forth in place. At the bottom of this connection is where the fuel is leaking from. The fuel filler neck fits over this metal connector to the tank. See photos.

The widows won't work it takes forever to put gas in the tank this car has a lot of problems.

Fuel erupts from the filler tube every time the tank is filled. When the nozzle shuts off whether it is automatically or manually shut off the fuel still splashes back through the fill tube causing a safety hazard.

While driving on the freeway, an object hit under the vehicle and punctured a hole in the plastic, unprotected fuel tank causing a leak. Fortunately it only caused a leak and did not result in a fire. I was surprised to find out that the fuel tank was plastic and did not have any protection from road hazards to prevent punctures, especially when it is so close to the ground.

As vehicle was being filled with fuel after 1. 7 gal, fuel violently sprayed out of fuel fill and saturated my entire upper torso and splashed into left eye. (eye was flushed with water upon returning home and a hospital visit was avoided) every time this vehicle and many other Avengers have fuel added to the tank, it is reported that there is a severe splash back or spit back that occurs causing a severe potential of severe risk to life, health and the environment via flame, fire, explosion or contamination. Dealer claims that per Chrysler the fuel filler neck needs to be replaced at my cost. After very thorough investigations on my own, it appears that there are numerous complaints of the same issue and the dealers are replacing fuel filler necks and complete fuel tanks where the whole issue is caused by a fuel safety rollover valve located within the fuel system. This is no joking matter. None of these repairs should hold the owners responsible for the costly repairs of the faulty fuel system with such numerous reports of failure.

I bought this vehicle used in January 2012 and every single time I fuel up, no matter what gas station, etc. The fuel shutoff does not work and gas is spewed all over the side of the car along with me or anything else close to the car. The only way to avoid this it to guess at when it is getting full and stop it before it gets full. This has to be a safety hazard as it is spewing gasoline everywhere. I have seen many reports of this problem and all suggest a fuel tank replacement at around $1000. Not many people can afford that and this is just an accident/explosion waiting to happen. This should definitely be a recall.

Numerous times (seemingly when cold) the gas tank will spit gas out after the nozzle clicks off. Will spray all on the car and the ground. Potentially very dangerous. . .
