“Fuel burps out of my 2007 Dodge nitro every time I fill up with fuel. This is due to a faulty valve in the tank that is designed to shut off fuel in the event of a roll over. Dodge is aware of this problem and needs to offer a recall. This is a dangerous and environmentally irresponsible problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10381621, filed 2011-02, 80,000 miles“Occasionally, when I am filling up my tank with gas (regardless of the gas station) the auto shutoff mechanism will not work and a moderate amount of gasoline will overflow out of the tank and onto the car/street.”
NHTSA complaint #10489521, filed 2012-12, 60,000 miles“Every time I fill up my 2007 Dodge nitro with gas it overflows causing fuel to be spilled everywhere. Dealership said it must be the pump, but it happens at every pump. The fuel is starting to discolor the paint.”
NHTSA complaint #10384218, filed 2011-02, 34,500 miles“I have a 2007 Dodge nitro and after filling up my gas tank the nozzle clicked and there comes fuel gushing out all over the place. It happens every single time I fill my tank with gas.”
NHTSA complaint #10381550, filed 2011-02, 32,000 miles“I bought this vehicle used in october of 2011, so I only know the problem started with my first gas tank fill up. After each and every fill up several ounces of gasoline leak from the tank area...this does not come from the hole where the gas pump nozzle goes, it seems to be leaking from beneath that point. This is problematic because the entire bottom left portion of my vehicle is bathed in gasoline. Upon researching this problem I have found that many other Dodge nitro owners are experiencing the same problem. …”
