34 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2007 Dodge Nitro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When getting fuel, the vapors in the tank will not allow the tank to fill up without having to have the gas nozzle upside down. When the tank is full, the nozzle does not stop and gas spews from the tank. After driving away once the tank is full the car starts to buck and shake.
When putting fuel into the tank at a gas station pump, the fuel doesn't stop when the tank is full and spills out all over the car. Doesn't matter how fast or slow I am putting fuel into the tank. Dodge, you have known about this since 2008. Why have you not issued a recall?.
When I fill up the gas tank after the pump shuts off, the vehicle shoots gasoline back out at me, about a half gallon its gets on the car and onto the ground, this happens every time I fill up. This is extremely dangerous!!!.
My airbag light came on a week ago and wont go off. Very nerve wracking. If I fill gas tank gas comes back out of tank all over me and truck. Key fob stopped working setting off engine immobilizer costing me $207 for a new key because the one that came with truck could not be just reprogrammed. I love my truck, but it is becoming one thing after the other and as a single disabled mom of an 8 year old, I cant afford this money pit. Especially with what my loan costs me every month. I seriously thing Chrysler should take some responsibility for problems in their vehicles especially since I see a lot of people have complained about the same issues. I can say I will never buy another Chrysler product again. We little people pay more than enough for these vehicles, to just have to turn around and invest thousands more. I would not complain if it was just mine, but when you look and see all the other people that have complained about the same issues, then its time to complain because it is obviously not just mine and not just because its an older vehicle which I had thought til I saw the other complaints!!!!!!!!!!.
When adding fuel the gasoline always spits back out when tank is full spilling gasoline over the truck tire and ground. There was a recall on this a little after I purchased the Nitro new, but mack massey Dodge in el paso, TX said nothing wrong with my vehicle. So why am I still having the same problem throughout all these years?.
Fuel tank overflows every time that we fill the tank. When the gas is filled, the nozzle is fully inserted in the tank and will not automatically shut-off spilling gas everywhere until I manually stop the nozzle.
When I fill the fuel tank the fuel spills out on me, on the car and the ground, this happens every time I try and fill the gas tank. I was on Dodge forum and told this happens to all 2007 and 2008 Dodge Nitros and this is a safety issue. I was told this is a vent valve/check valve default and this valve is supposed to shut down the gas to prevent an explosion in an accident. Dodge had a recall for their Jeep but never issued a recall for the Nitro!! Dodge should be responsible for replacing the fuel tank with no cost to me.
As you fill up vehicle with gas make a clicking sound when full and spill out of tank getting gas on car. This can cause a fire and is hazardous to the environment. This issue has been going on since I purchased this vehicle back in 2007.
Fueling at gas pump , overflows all over the side of my vehicle ! cant fill up the tank to full !!.
Everything falling apart on this car. Now the horn goes off when its off, on the freeway or just at a stop light, the other thing, when I fill up the gas tank the gas shoots back up.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up 0.
Every time I fill the tank the pump at the gas station shuts off but I have fuel that burps back out. From what I understand about these cars is that there is a fuel shutoff valve on the gas tank to prevent fires/explosions in the event of a rollover accident that is defective. My vehicle is out of warranty and this causes me concern for my and others saftey. I would like Chrysler to fix this problem as I don't believe I should have to pay for this out of pocket as they know that this is a common problem with these cars.
Filled my gas tank up today and the gas kept coming out once it was full. It had spilled all over me, my car, and the ground.
I just purchased a 2007 Dodge Nitro with 57334 kms. On my first refueling I was almost soaked in gasoline because of what I determined later as a factory faulty rollover valve in the gas tank. The hose clicks off as the tank is full but then the gasoline goshes out all over the vehicle & ground. The anount is considerable. This is a very dangerous fire issue. On my 2nd refueling was the same thing & each additional fill. Hasn't there been any recalls or forceable fix to get the manufacture to correct this issue?.
At full tank the pump shutoff fails every time and fuel spills from filler when pumping at any pump at any rate causing fuel to run down the side of the vehicle and puddle on the ground. I have seen more complaints of this than most other problems. This is a dangerous and common manufacturing defect that should be dealt with by a recall.
The gas tank doesn't stop the pump when it's full resulting in gas overflowing everywhere.
Vehicle has a new transmissio now. Fuel backfires out the tank everytime I go to fill up the tank. Then,my insurance gave me a recall list to have it taken in. Took it to the Dodge dealership numerous of times and same problem occurs and they say in they're database its not showing anything on my VIN number. Air bag light goes on and off allday. Car beats and airbag light blinks on and off and is very annoying. A/c compressor is now out and working on getting it replaced but other than that everything is going perfect.
This vehicle as bought used at a Chevrolet dealership in arlington, TX with about 33,800 miles on it. When refueling this vehicle for the first time the gas pump did not shut off when the tank was full, resulting in gas overflowing onto the side of the vehicle and spilling on the ground. This same kind of malfunction continues to occur every time it is refueled unless the person refueling it manually stops the pump before the tank is completely full. Sometimes the pump shuts off as gas begins to overflow, and other times the pump does not shut off at all. This condition is very hazardous, harmful to the vehicle's paint, and wasteful.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed from the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who stated that the fuel tank assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000.
I just bought my Nitro but every time I fill up the gas tank it will click off at the nozzle but then I get gas spewing back out! it has happened to me twice now at two different pumps at two different gas stations. It scared me very much and is a huge safety hazard! my Nitro is no longer under warranty but I know I am not alone with having this issue. The only fix I know of is replacing the gas tank at my expense. I feel as this is a well known and prevalent issue Dodge should address it ASAP!.
When I filled up my tank & pulled the nozzle out gas overflowed out of the tank. This happened twice at two different gas stations in two different states.
Gas tank overflows everytime I allow the pump nozzle auto stop. I have tried different gas stations with different pumps to see if it made a difference. Made no difference, it overflows every time. The pump does kick off and stop, but the gas comes pouring out about a second later. Not only is this a personal hazard as gas is extremely flammable, it is an environmental hazard when the gas pours on the ground.
Once fuel tank reaches it's capacity, gas spits back out overflowing the tank. Issue has been going on for awhile.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel sprayed out of the filler neck onto the ground. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. Updated 3/14/13 the mechanic at the dealer informed the consumer it was the same problem Jeep had with the roll over valve in the gas tank being defective and it needed to be replaced.

I bought my 2007 Nitro in October with about 68,000 miles. Ever since the first time I filled up my tank gas spits back up out the fuel hose when the pump shuts off. After researching quite a bit I discovered this isn't a new problem, Chrysler knows all about it and even had an investigation into it. The inlet valve is faulty and doesn't close correctly, leading to gas spills at the pump and gas spills if the vehicle rolls over, causing the vehicle to ignite. I have been in contact with Chrysler the past week or so and they are absolutely refusing to help repair their own manufactures defect. They won't give me an explanation no matter how much I ask and I am getting very frustrated with them. I feel this is a serious safety issue and they are responsible for taking care of it. They don't think so. They said, "after further research into this problem, unfortunately we are unable to help with the costs of any repairs. " to fix this you must replace the entire fuel tank - upwards of $1000 that I don't have because I just freakin' bought their vehicle! irresponsible, wow.
Tank overflows everytime I put gas in it. The pump clicks, I pull it out and about a half a tank of gas spews all over me and the car. At times it happens before the pump even shuts off. It happens everytime no matter what gas station I go to.
Every time I fill up my gas tank, it overflows and spills all over the vehicle and ground. This is a huge environmental and safety risk, as well as a waste of gasoline. I've read online that this is a defect of a rollover detection system. Dodge/Chrysler needs to do something about this.
Several times, at several gas stations, the gas pump does not automatically shutoff causing gas to overflow. This problem occurs everytime I try to fill up and fill the tank full.
Every time the vehicle is refueled and the pump shuts off at full. Fuel erupts from the tank onto the ground, person and vehicle. This could result in a health hazard to personnel but also to the environment as well as the vehicle. Chrysler corporation is and has been aware of the problem for some time but has opted to not recall the vehicle unless forced to by the NHTSA.
When fueling my Nitro the gas flowed out of the tank and onto the side of my truck and the ground. It never shut off as it was supposed to when full.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that gasoline fuel spewed out from the filler neck while the contact was refueling the vehicle. The issue occurred whenever the contact would refuel the vehicle. The contact stated that weeks prior to the failure, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.
The gas always comes gushing out when I fill up my gas tank since I've owned this vehicle. The engine light incessantly stays on and wonder if their is a correlation. I am sick of it, and am afraid that an explosion could occur. I would have filed a report with NHTSA sooner if I'd known of its existence.
