I filled fuel tank and used the auto fuel fill feature at the fuel pump the pump shut off and when it did approx a quart of gas came spurting out all over the paint and onto the ground leaving a puddle of fuel,to me this is a major safety problem and should, but is not a recall for this vehicle.

When filling up 2007 Dodge Nitro sxt 92,000 miles, gasoline sprays back after fuel pump shuts off.

2007 Dodge Nitro gas tank overflows everytime tank is filled. When fuel pump clicks off several seconds later 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of fuel spills all over the back of the car and ground. Causing a fire hazard. From my understanding it is a check valve in the fuel tank that Dodge will not cover. My Nitro is out of warranty.

With every fuel fill up I attempt, upon completion when the fuel pump shuts off and stops pumping the vehicle 'spits up' fuel spewing it on the car and ground. I have found no way to avoid this, even pumping slower or attempting to pull the nozzle out at the end quickly or leaving it in to block spewage. It is hazardous, messy, and not to mention annoying. I don't know why there has been no recall for this issue, as I've seen mulitple Dodge vehicles and complaints about the exact same thing happening everywhere to everyone.

When filling gas tank, once the tank is full it does not trigger the fuel pump to shut off and gas comes spewing out of the tank until you manually shut off the fuel pump.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4. When the contact filled up the fuel tank, gasoline would spew back out of the tank. She also smelled potent gasoline fumes inside the passenger compartment. The dealer could not duplicate the failure and stated that they would monitor the issue. As time progressed, the vehicle continued to experience the same failures. A diagnostic was performed and the dealer stated that the fuel pump and tank needed to be replaced. The contact would have to pay for the repairs because the vehicle was out of warranty. He has supporting documentation and video that demonstrates the failure. The current and failure mileages were less than 44,000.
