Example complaints

“When fueling my 2008 aspen is complete it does not shut-off and gas spews out all over the car, myself, and everything else. This started about a year ago and then quit, it has since started up again with a vengeance of an explosion of gasoline. I first thought it was the pump, but I have gone to many different stations and there same thing occurs.”
NHTSA complaint #10491541, filed 2013-01, 46,000 miles“When fueling this vehicle it physically sprays approximately 8 ounces of fuel out of the fuel receptacle when the fueling nozzle clicks off. I have found no way to stop it,or control the amount or direction. Anything or anyone near it will get sprayed. This is a serious safety issue that Chrysler must address! We just purchased this vehicle 1/31/2014 so that is the reason for the late filing of this report.”
NHTSA complaint #10567917, filed 2014-03, 48,311 miles“I just purchased vehicle about a few weeks ago from dealer and every time I fill with gas it over flows and sprays gas everywhere. This is very dangerous and can cause fire or explosion. I don't know if anybody has been hurt but needs to be looked in to before somebody gets hurt or worse.”
NHTSA complaint #10628073, filed 2014-08, 68,600 miles“The vehicle stalls while in motion regardless of road street or highway after refueling, we took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the fuel tank & the on-board refueling vapor recovery system is faulty and that raw liquid fuel was going into the engine causing failing. We have little choice but to fix the problem, as this could potentially cause a fire in the engine and\or cause a potential accident as the engine stops while in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #10838591, filed 2016-02, 160,000 miles“Upon picking up the vehicle from the repair shop, I went to get gas. While fueling the tank spits back fuel and also disengages the dispensing of fuel. I've tried different gas stations and have the same issue each time. Fuel filler neck was replaced along with the fuel tank. This is a serious safety issue.”
