During multiple incidents, the vehicle has "burped" gas when the tank fills. About a 1/2 gallon of gas spills out the fuel filler neck and onto the body of the vehicle and onto the ground. I see internet sites claiming this to be a frequent problem with this vehicle. There is no indication when the gas will spew from the tank and this occurs during manual pump operation as well is if the pump handle is on automatic fill.

Fuel will splash out of tank every time I fill up and use auto shut off. This is a common problem with Chrysler/Dodge vehicles if you search for complaints online and 45,000 2005 durangos were apparently recalled for the same problem. This is a huge fire hazard at gas stations as well as something that can potentially damage the paint on my vehicle. Dodge is claiming no responsibility for the issue.

Every time I fill my fuel tank in my 08 Dodge Nitro rt it spills out all over the ground. This occurs when im setting the pump to stop automatically and the pump stops then the tank starts to spill. It seems to a check valve issue with the tank an can be a safety hazard at the fuel stations for myself and others around. A simple spark due to a faulty ground in the area could cause this to ignite and be potentially fatal. I feel Chrysler should be held responsible for this and a safety recall be issued. Many people have had this problem and it appears that the powers that be are not enforcing Chrysler to make this a recall issue. I guess it will take someone to become severely injured or killed before anyrhing is done about it. Chrysler has a TSB (14-001-09) in regards to this issue so they know it is a problem and they continue to want to charge customers to fix the issue. Someone needs to do something about this ASAP!.

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.

This problem has not caused an accident but it has caused the gasoline to shoot out of my gas tank and drench me in gas several times. I believe if there is a sensor in my gas tank that it is not working properly enough to indicate that the tank is full or close to full when I'm pumping gas. When I pull out the nozzle the gas shoots out all over the place ( this is after the gas has shut off at the pump). Don't know if there have been similar incidents reported but it is important enough for me to complain about it. The Dodge dealer that sold us the vehicle when new does not seem to want to take the time to investigate my complaint so I'm looking to other sources to see if this is just a random problem or one that is worth investigating further for everyone's benefit.

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.

Started driving a 2008 Nitro the first of the year. Upon refueling the vehicle, everytime the some part of the fuel tank causes gas to overflow onto the vehicle and the ground. Whether the hose is being pumped manually or triggered to stay on does not change this outcome. This is an evironmental as well as a safety concern. Upon some research this problem has occured on previous models. Why hasnt a recall been issued? the customer should not incur a cost due to faulty design the company should have fixed.

Engine stalls while parked or when accelerating from a full stop. It does the same while taking a curve and trying to accelerate when the curve ended. It feels like there is not enough gasoline coming from the tank and the engine starves. It does it when the engine has finished warming and all the time while driving. Vehicle has been in service for warranty because of this issue, but the problem returns as soon as 1 week after.

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.

My vehicle continues to stall without warning. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions they continue to say nothing is wrong with the car, and they are not aware of any problems with the vehicle. I also have taken it to independent mechanics they say it doesnt give any codes. It seems there is a recurring issue with the Nitro that is at this point becoming a safety hazard. The gas spews out when I fill the tank again they say there is no problem.

When I fuel the vehicle up fuel bursts out, and doesn't shut off automatically. I've tried numerous different stations and even different pumps but this still happens. Gas pours out of the car and down the sides and even onto me. . A pain and waste of money. There are several situations and claims that I have seen like this that need to be recalled and addressed. I have heard (from a family member who is a mechanic)that this is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident the valve is obviously defective and now nothing it stopping it from exploding from a rollover accident. Chrysler knows about this and this should be covered under manufacture defect (recall) please fix this and address this issue ASAP!.

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.

Every time I fill up the gas tank, it overflows and shoots out all over the vehicle, the ground, and any thing or any person that is close by. From what I understand, this is a common problem with this vehicle. It has always been an issue and is not something that has recently developed.
