Tank Assembly Problems of Dodge Avenger

When pumping gas into my 2008 Dodge Avenger I get overspill of gas coming out of tank. I hear the click and release of gas pump and immediately gas spurts out onto car and me. I looked up on internet and it appears to be happening to alot of Dodge Avengers. Is there a recall?.

The gas tank is not venting properly, resulting in gas spray when filling up. My vehicle is spraying fuel at every fillup and does not matter which station, pump, pump position, or filling rate. The spray can be reduced by slowing the filling rate when close to full but is very difficult to prevent overflow. This spray is enough to and has soaked my shoes and pants. I have researched several forums and contacted my dealership. I am told the tank usually needs replaced at a high service cost. I am reporting this as a safety concern because most owners can not immediately afford a ~$900 service charge. I will continue to attempt to manage this overfill spray by not filling it all the way until I can afford the repair. Thank you for your time.

When filling up my gas tank, the gas pump does not stop. This happens at all stations every time. The fuel is quite explosive when full, and jumps out of the tank getting fuel everywhere. It jumps about a foot out of the tank. You can hear that there is an air pocket in my gas tank. I can never fill it full and have to stop just short. I also have to check my fuel by turning the ignition to the on position which apparently now has messed with my locks according to the manual, if you turn it to the on/lock position 4 times in a row it does something to your locks. So now my locks are messed up too. I brought it to the dealership and they stated it would cost over 400 dollars to replace.

While filling gas tank,automatic shutoff didnt work spilling gas, now every fill up, various gas stations same problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The vehicle was taken the dealer and they informed her that the failure may be due to the fuel tank, but they weren't exactly sure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure occurred on an intermittent basis. The manufacturer was notified and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was approximately 79,200. The VIN was unavailable.

At or around 50,000 miles, it became almost impossible to fill the fuel tank without a violent backsplash of gas. No matter how slowly you fill, or how many opportunities you give it to vent, you still end up with a spill. When I say spill, it means that gas literally projects outward onto the ground, and down the side of the car. Often the tire ends up soaked, and occasionally your clothing and or shoes. I have found other people on Avenger sites complaining of the exact same thing, therefore I know this is not rare. Around the same time this began, the car also began stalling in rainy weather. I don"t know if these are connected, but it seems suspect. Apparently other people have been told by their dealerships that the entire fuel tank has to be changed due to a faulty rollover valve.

When filling up tank the tank ejects about a quart of gasoline when finished pumping gas. Even when trying to go slow at the end. The gasoline "burps" out all over the side of the vehicle, the operator and ground. This isn't safe because the potentially hot rotor is directly underneath the fill port might start a fire while the operator is doused with fuel.

I was filling my gas tank up and the handle did not turn off automatically. I know that the nozzle was fully inserted, I am careful about this since something similar has already happened with this car. The first time I was cleaning my windshield so I did not immediately notice that gas had spilled out and was actually pouring onto the ground. Now I am extremely careful when I fill up. I don't think that the pumps are the problem, I think it is something with the car.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled back out from the filler neck valve. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technician advised the contact that the vent tubing and the neck of the fuel tank would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the technician stated that the fuel tank would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.

When fueling up, the pump shuts off automatically but pressure inside the tank causes fuel to "gush" out of the tank all over the side of the vehicle, the ground and me if I'm standing too close. This has been an issue for many months. I've tried several fuel stations, several pumps at the same station. All cause gas to "gush out".

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Avenger. While the contact filled the fuel tank he noticed that the gasoline was spilling back out from nozzle head.

The failure and the current mileages were 45,000.
