Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

When filling gas tank, gas pump clicks for full and gas spills out of the tank all over the ground and person filling the tank. Very dangerous as gas is also all over that part of the car. Apparently this is a complaint from a lot of people yet there is no recall for this issue.

When filling the gas tank if I do not manually stop the pump before the tank is full, the tank will overflow. This has happened multiple times at multiple stations using multiple pumps. The tank does not allow the pumps to auto shutoff function to work.

When filling the gas tank it spews gas out of tank all over the vehicle, ground and anything else that is nearby. This happens every time I fill up the tank as soon as the pump stops.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. After filling the vehicle's fuel tank, fuel spilled out without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Gas tank overflows when filling. This has happened every time since we bought the vehicle 3 weeks ago.

When filling tank with gas, fuel will spew back out splashing all over person, ground and surroundings. This happens when fueling is complete and you are removing the nozzle after the nozzle is shut off. . The back splashis so violent, gas will splash into your eyes.

A month ago started hearing a high pitch whistling sound. Got louder as I accelerated, now a constant sound. Driving at 2,000 rpm it wouldn't shift into 2nd gear. Went into "limp mode" took to transmission shop said that torque converter was falling apart and debris got into the fluid and up into pump and. Transmission. Told I need a new transmission. 7yr old vehicle needing a transmission? had chevy's that lasted well over 210,000 mi. Filling gas tank waiting for automatic shut off. Never happened. Gasoline spewed out onto ground and me. This is constant. Tried a different pump and station, still gas not shutting off. I no longer fill up the gas tank. Having to figure out what size tank and how much gas is left in tank before adding more gas. This started 2 yrs ago. Chrysler step up and take responsibility for the substandard parts that are used to build these vehicles that the public put trust in!!!!!!! I will no longer buy a Dodge / Chrysler product.

When filling the tank on the vehicle the nozzle failed to shut off in time to prevent gas from overflowing. Filled up again 2 days later at a different pump and set the nozzle for low speed and still overflowed out of the gas tank. Upon further research this is a common problems with 2007 Dodge Nitros and no recall has been issued. However, the Jeep liberty which is the sibling vehicle had the same problem and there was a recall to fix the problem. The cause of the problem is a faulty rollover valve and requires the fuel tank to be replaced.

While filling the Nitro up when it gets full and the gas pump kicks off there is alot of fuel that comes rushing out of the filler hose and goes all over the truck, ground and myself. Have been told that Dodge is aware of the issue and has recalled this issue on jeeps but nothing yet on the Nitro. This can only be fixed by replacing the entire fuel tank. Is Dodge waiting on a lawsuit? if the vehicle rollsover and spews gas all over it would not be a good sight if it catches on fire!! please help get this problem recalled before it kills people!!!.

When filling up gas tank, gas spits out.

When I am filling my gas tank and it gets to the top and the gas pump shuts off the gas spills out of the tank. I have started to stop pumping when it sounds like it is close to the top and some gas still spills out of the gas funnel.

When filling up the gas tank, after pump automatically shuts off, approximately 1/2 gallon of gas overflows. This has happened 3 times. The last time, gas was propelled into my face and all over my clothes. Research indicates that this is due to a defect in the valve that prevents gas leakage during/after a rollover crash. This is worrisome in and of itself, but especially when combined with the other 2 problems I've had with this vehicle. About 2 years ago, I was going to exit the driver's seat when the interior door handle broke off in my hand. The master switch for the power windows stopped working within a few days of that. I am worried that I can be in an accident in which the car catches fire due to the defective valve, and I will not be able to exit my car if the door handle breaks off again and the windows won't roll down. I have been told that the fix for this valve is to get the gas tank replaced, at my own expense. Also, when I went to the dealer to order my door handle, they already had some in stock, which indicates, to me, that this is a common problem and yet Chrysler has not recalled it. The shoddy construction of this vehicle combined with the lack of assistance from Chrysler has ensured that I will never purchase another one of their products again.

When filling the gas tank gas will shoot out of the tank at the pump when it finishes. I don't top of the tank or anything, it just shoots out, probably a quart or more of gas. This happens almost every time I pump gas. It happens at every gas station I've been to. When my mechanic tried discussing it with the car company they stated they knew it was a problem but wouldn't have it repaired. It's a danger to have gas shooting out of the tank at every fill-up and then dealing with gas all over the vehicle and me.

We bought this vehicle used with near 16,700 miles. Since the day we purchased it, we had a problem with the gas overflowing on the 2007 Dodge Nitro when attempting to fill the tank. 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 this vehicle could possibly explode in a rollover accident. I have read that this is a manufacturing defect, and that Chrysler knows about it. But I also read that they are doing nothing about this safety issue. I try to do my best to protect the environment by listening when filling the vehicle, and stopping the pump before it sounds like it is near the top. But I don't always catch it in time, and gas sprays out onto the car, myself and the ground. Not much I can do if ever involved in a roll over though.

When filling up with fuel, when the auto shut off engages fuel overflows out. I had this issue previously, took it to the dealership and indicated that it is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that is there to prevent an explosion in the event of a roll over accident. The valve is defective and thus gas spills out. They replaced the fuel tank and it fixed the problem. Less than one year later the same problem comes back, but they will no longer take car of it because now it is out of warranty.

My 07 Dodge Nitro rt has always had an issue while filling up, it doesn't stop like other vehicles and just over flows splashing gas all over the vehicle and floor. My fix for this was just to not fully fill the tank. The other issue I've had for the better part of a year is that I've had a "gas cap" error light that after replacing said gas cap and a trip to pepboys turned out it was a small evap leak caused by a faulty gas tank/innards common in older Nitros, in my experience this also causes a hard start. I think this is obviously a manufacturing issue in the gas tank and would like some guidence on a resolve. Thank you.
