Other Fuel System Problems of Dodge Nitro - part 2

Upon filling up gasoline at two seperate gas stations on two seperate days, gasoline was observed to spew out even though the gas pump itself had shut off. Possible inlet control valve defect, filler tube defect. Unsure but gas simply spews out, about a half gallon before stopping.

When filling the vehicle with gasoline a large back flow of fuel will splash out of the fuel fill tube onto the exterior of the vehicle. This has occurred several times in the past several weeks causing a extremely unsafe condition.

Back driver side window has came off the track twice in about 12 months, replaced motor, still did it. Every time I fill up with gas it spills out all over the car and ground. The windshield wipers only work on high some of the time. Driver side door handle broke off, very expensive to fix!.

Each time I fill with fuel it spits out about a gallon. Very bad. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I have had problems ever since I have had this vehicle. First my a/c unit went out, the Dodge dealership put a dye in my unit to find a leak, there was not leak so they filled it with freon and I was on my way. A few months later the same think happened again and they filled it again and could not find a leak. Then it happened again and finally they said my compressor went out (mind you this was a brand new vehicle!!) so they replaced it. This was the first 2 years I had it. Then I had issues with my gear shifter and some wire that attached it to my gas pedal or something according to them. I had taken it in and told them my car kept stalling and would not start at all, they took a look at it and the cable had snapped, so they replaced it. This was the second year I have had it. Now the past month or so, all my lights are coming on and the bright red brake light comes on and stays on for a few minutes. Then my car will stall in the middle of traffic at a red light and sometimes when I get started driving. I seriously loved this car at first, but I would never recommend this vehicle to anyone, nor would I ever buy one ever again. I think they need to get me another vehicle ASAP, cause this one is a death trap waiting to happen!.

Every time I fill up the vehicle the gas overflows onto the car and gas station ground. This is a huge safety hazard for a fire to start. I am worried that it will eat the paint off by the fill up as well.

If I fill up my Nitro with gas it overflows and spills a lot on the ground. Every time I fill it up this happens so I quit filling it up.

Every time u fill up on fuel it spills out all over and creates a huge hazard after the pump kicks off ! this appears to be a ongoing defect due to how many complaints there are on the issue !.

Everytime I fill up my 07 Dodge Nitro the gas over flows out of the filler neck. I have been to several different gas stations and evey one I go to this still happens. I even tried filling slower and it still occured. This is getting very frustrating because I usually end up full of gasoline when it comes out. It also could be a fire or explosion hazard it the right circumstances occur.

Every time I fuel my 2007 Dodge Nitro with gasoline it over fills and pours all down the side of my SUV and all over the ground and splashing gasoline all over me.

Fuel overflows when filling truck with fuel.

When filling the vehicle with gas, when the pump clicks off gas spews from the filler tube. It runs down the side of the vehicle and also gets all over whosoever is filling the vehicle. You cannot safely fill this vehicle with gas, no matter how slow you try. You must stop before the vehicle is full.

When I fill up the vehicle with gas it overflows. It doesn't shut off automatically. Gas then pours out of the car and down the side. Many times the person pumping the gas gets it all over themselves. It is not the gas pump, I've tried several different stations.

Gasoline fill pipe overflows after nozzle automatic shutoff. Gasoline runs down side of vehicle onto ground causing a hazard and release of excessive gasoline vapors.

When putting gas into the vehicle it leaks gas out of the place where you pump it. I thought maybe it was the pump but it has happened at several other pumps and locations.

When fueling my 2007 Dodge Nitro, the fuel kicks back and spills out on car and myself, no matter how slow u put fuel into vehicle. This happens everytime I fuel vehicle. Very dangerous to me and fuel station should someone cause a spark to ignite this fuel spill.

During fuel filling, fuel intake valve does not work, causing significant amounts of gasoline to spill (gush) out onto pavement. This is sufficient to pose environmental hazard as well as fire hazard. Discussed with dealership where purchased. Will not cover repair.

Every time the car is refueled on auto it clicks the pump off and spews gas all down the side of the car. Dodge complaint dept says they have no recall information on this , yet every 2007 owner I talk to has this problem. We all thought it was just our car that did this. Some one is going to pull up to the spot where a Nitro was refilled/spilled with a lit cigarette and there will be a sizable fire, if it has not already happened.

The Dodge Nitro can not be completely filled with fuel. I have tried multiple fueling stations in multiple states across the country and at every one of those the fuel over flows from the filler neck spilling fuel onto the ground and all over its operator. This is a safety concern and an environmental concern. I read an article that the NHTSA is probing the Jeep wrangler about this same issue please include the Dodge Nitro in this probe. If you need one to test, you can use mine.

Towards the end of fueling the vehicle the fuel spills out of the filler tube.
