“Fuel tank overflows every time that we fill the tank. When the gas is filled, the nozzle is fully inserted in the tank and will not automatically shut-off spilling gas everywhere until I manually stop the nozzle.”
NHTSA complaint #11233055, filed 2019-07, 115,000 miles“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 every one I go to this still happens. I even tried filling slower and it still occurred. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #10507527, filed 2013-04, 70,000 miles“Fuel spills out all over the ground when fueling the vehicle. Started about a year ago when mileage was around 47,000. Now at 68,000 it is still doing it. I have to guess when to stop fueling. Please recall this vehicle again. Very dangerous and not good for the environment when fuel spills onto the ground and later enters our bays.”
NHTSA complaint #10382916, filed 2011-02, 47,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10383450, filed 2011-02, 50,000 miles“Gas tank overflows everytime I allow the pump nozzle auto stop. I have tried different gas stations with different pumps to see if it made a difference. Made no difference, it overflows every time. The pump does kick off and stop, but the gas comes pouring out about a second later. Not only is this a personal hazard as gas is extremely flammable, it is an environmental hazard when the gas pours on the ground.”
