2008 Dodge Nitro Fuel System Problems

WHEN REFUELING, GASOLINE SPLASHES FORCEFULLY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERY SINGLE TIME, NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY OR SLOWLY THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. THE QUANTITY EJECTED IS SUFFICIENT TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND FAR TO THE SIDE TO AVOID BEING SOAKED WITH GASOLINE.

Gas keeps overflowing every time I pump gas into no matter what pump or gas station I am using.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AFTER GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 DODGE NITRO. EVERY TIME I FILL IT WITH GAS AND TOP THE TANK OFF, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND A SECOND LATER, ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE VEHICLES GAS TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR NITRO OWNERS BUT FOR THE PUBLIC AROUND US AS IT COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER NITRO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A FEW HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S A FACTORY DEFECT INSIDE THE TANK WHICH IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE TANK AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. PLEASE... WE NEED TO GET THESE VEHICLES RECALLED AND FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF WHEN FULL AND AS SOON AS IT SHUTS OFF, ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WILL BURP OUT OF MY GAS TANK AND COVER THE SIDE OF MY NITRO AND THE GROUND. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!! WHAT IF I WERE IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT? THE FUEL WOULD POOR OUT AND ONE LITTLE SPARK, I'D BE BLOWN TO SHREDS!!! OR SOMEONE COULD HIT ME IN THE TANK AREA AND ONCE AGAIN, AN EXPLOSION!!! SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE, I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THESE DODGE NITROS FOR THE OWNERS SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AROUND US!!! PLEASE!!! IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY DODGE FOR THE CONSUMER'S SAFETY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR A MISTAKE THAT DODGE MADE. PLEASE HELP GET THESE VEHICLES RECALLED FOR THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!!

EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP, THE GAS COMES OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOW ISSUES AND IT IS A PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT LOOK THE PIECE IN QUESTION OF THE MALFUNCTION STOPS THE GAS FROM IGNITING IN A ROLL OVER. HOW IS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE NITRO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED, FUEL LEAKED BACK OUT THE FILLER PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLED UP .

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel was spilling from the vehicle onto the ground. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

I FUELED MY VEHICLE AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND AT THE END OF THE FILLING THE NITRO SPEWED (BURPED) APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. I AM VERY CONCERNED A FIRE MAY START AT THE GAS STATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO THE GASOLINE SPEWED ONTO MY LEGS. THE LISTED ITEM POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANT CENTER WHICH STATED THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE IN CARS LIKE MINE WERE DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT AT NO COST TO ME. I SEDUCED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOP. THEY FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY OWNED AND REGISTERED IN CANADA. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY WHO SENT ME THE LETTER. THE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO ME. HE ASKED IF I COULD FAX HIM THE LETTER, WHICH I DID. HE SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM AFTER THAT. HE LATER LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY PHONE AFTER HE RECEIVED THE LETTER AND SAID THEIR COMPANY WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CANADA. I CALLED CANADA AND UPDATED THE INFORMATION THEY HAD ON MY CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND I'M FINANCING THE CAR. IF I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK VALVE THEY NEED TO HONOR THAT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN OCTOBER 2014 FROM A FRIEND AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP AT THE GAS STATION , THE GAS OVER FLOWS WITH FORCE AND GETS ALL OVER MY HAND AND FEET, SOMETIMES IT GETS ON MY BODY TOO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS FULL.? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE NITRO. WHILE REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, IT FAILED TO REGISTER AS FULL AND FUEL SPEWED BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS IT BEGINS SPEWING OUT CAUSING GAS TO RUN OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND AND MYSELF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL MY GAS TANK COMPLETELY. *TR

THE LAST 2 TIMES I FILLED MY FUEL TANK IN MY 08 DODGE NITRO RT IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE PUMP STOPS...THEN THE TANK STARTS TO SPILL AT LEAST A HALF GALLON OF GAS GETS ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND THE GROUND!!! THIS 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 ANYTHING 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! *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK, MY HUSBAND WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT HAPPENED TO MYSELF, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP THAT I WAS AT. MY LEGS WERE COVERED IN GAS AND I HAD A CUT ON MY LEG AND THE GAS WAS IN MY CUT AND BURNED TERRIBLY. MY HUSBAND IS A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN AND I AM AN EMT. WE WILL BE USING THIS VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO REAL LIFE EMERGENCIES. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT OR IF ON AN EMERGENCY SCENE IT COULD BE HIT AND CAUSE AND EXPLOSION.. *TR

1. EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS SPILLD OUT ALL OVER! 2. THE GEAR SHIFT POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP. 3. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS STOPPED WORKING AT ALL! I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH A RECALL I RECEIVED ON THE UNDER BODY TRANSMISSION TUNNEL SHIELD AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAY IM ON THE LIST ITS BEEN MONTHS! *TR

WHEN I FILL THE TANK WITH FUEL, IT BURPS AT THE END OF FILLING SPILLING GASOLINE ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VENTING SYSTEM IN THE TANK ALLOWING AIR TO BUILD BUP WHEN FILLING. *TR

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 ! *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS FROM TANK WHEN FILLING UP. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH A DEFECTIVE SHUTOFF VALVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE FUEL TANK FROM EXPLODING IN THE CASE OF A BAD ACCIDENT. SEEMS LIKE A ISSUE TO ME... *TR
