I drive a Dodge Nitro slt 07', the gas tank valve was messed up and everytime I filled my tank the gas would gush out. Every time. The dealership said it was not a known problem and would be 100% out of pocket.

When pumping fuel into our familys 2007 Dodge Nitro, a large amount of gasoline spills all over the person, the car, and the ground at the gas station. This happens no matter what gas station is used. It is a safety defect fully known to Chrysler-Dodge, and may be caused by a part supplier defect. The allegedly defective part is a fuel check valve that is built into the fuel tank. The fuel tank has to be replaced in order to fix the defective part so it is a major repair. This defective part is apparently involved in preventing tank explosions should the vehicle roll over. Since this defective part is likely installed in many thousands of vehicles, there is concern this defect could lead to fuel tank detonations in Nitros and Jeep liberties involved in accidents. In addition, this defect will likely lead to future explosions at fueling stations since gasoline pours uncontrollably and profusely out of the gas tank. Chrysler Dodge informed me directly they have issued extended warranties to certain Chrysler vehicles (in lieu of a recall) because, as a Dodge recall representative told me by telephone on 3/28/11, they had issues with the same fuel tank inlet check valve for other Chrysler vehicles. But, despite having the exact same safety defect with my 2007 Dodge Nitro, Chrysler-Dodge has not yet issued a recall or an extended warranty for this vehicle. Does a family have to die tragically before Chrysler Dodge issues a genuine recall for a serious safety defect that is full known to their company?

My 2007 Dodge Nitro spills gasoline every time I pump gas. The pump fails to shut off and gasoline spewes out of the fill tube onto the side of the vehicle, the pavement and on a couple of occasions my legs and shoes. This has occurred at many different gas stations and pumps and only started recently after the warranty expired. Internet research indicates that this problem is caused by a faulty vent valve inside the tank that must be replaced. In addition the faulty valve is designed to prevent explosions in case the vehicle rolls over. If this valve is faulty this is a serious safety issue for Nitro owners.

Fuel spills out when gas tank becomes close to full. Half a gallon or so very strongly is sprayed all over the side of the vehicle and anything within a 1-2ft distance from the vehicle. This happens regardless of the gas station used.

Gas spilling out of filler neck on my 2007 Dodge Nitro when it has finished filling. I placed the nozzle fully into the tank and click the automatic filler in place and once the nozzle clicks indicating it is full 1-2 cups of gas spills out and sprays everywhere on me, the ground, and the car creating a huge safety hazard. This has happened several times at numerous gas stations. I have found out recently that the Nitro, along with Jeep's Liberty, is prone to this. There needs to be a recall on this issue and Dodge needs to take care of this immediately.

Gas hazard!!!! my 2007 Dodge Nitro spits gas back at you once it has finished filling. I placed the nozzle fully into the tank and click the automatic filler in place and once the nozzle clicks indicating it is full 1-2 cups of gas "burps" back up spraying everywhere on me, the ground, the car making a giant mess and huge safety hazard. This has happened numerous times at more than a couple different locations and I have found out recently that the Nitro is prone to this. There needs to be a recall on this issue and Dodge needs to take care of this immediately.

Fuel tank burps back after pump clicks off spilling approx. A quart of gas on the side of vehicle and the ground. 2007 Dodge Nitro 4X4.

First repair: Vehicle would jerk (as if it was shifting too hard) when going over bumps in the road and would stop (RPM gauge drops to 0, lose power steering, would have to coast to shoulder and re-start vehicle). Fuel injector was replaced. Second repair: Vehicle would not start without several attempts, once it started it would stop driving (RPM gauge drops to 0, lose power steering, would have to coast to shoulder and re-start vehicle). Relay was replaced. Third repair (about to go back to shop tomorrow)- car started normally and then stopped while driving (RPM gauge drops to 0, lose power steering, would have to coast to shoulder and re-start vehicle). This is the third time in 2 weeks that the car has been in for servicing for the same problem, and the manufacturer's dealership cannot figure out what is wrong with the vehicle. This has become a major safety concern, as I do not know when the vehicle will stop unexpectedly while driving. I have rented a car until I can have my car repaired again, because I am afraid to drive my car.

Gas comes shooting out of fuel filler neck when filling up at numerous gas stations.

My 2007 Dodge Nitro spits gas back at you once it has finished filling.

I own a 2007 Dodge Nitro 3.7 V6. I have been experiencing for over the last month when I fill up the gas tank it will click off at the nozzle but then I get gas spewing back out! scary and a safety hazard. I am told this is a problem with the rollover valve. The valve is defective, and thus the gas spills out, and the car could possibly explode in a rollover accident. I have read that this is a manufacturing defect, and Chrysler/Dodge knows about it. I am out of warranty for my vehicle but I know I am not alone in this. The only fix I know of is replacing the gas tank at my expense. I feel Chrysler/Dodge should do this at their expense since they know it is a common problem!

I have an 07 Dodge Nitro R/T. every time I fill up the gas tank, it overflows and pours out. It is a common occurrence with these vehicles and clearly needs to be recalled. Apparently this is due to a broken gauge in the gas tank filler neck.

- Marietta, GA, USA

When fueling, as soon as the fuel nozzle automatically turns off, a significant amount of gasoline "burps" out of the filler neck spilling out with enough pressure to cover the entire side of the vehicle and fuel nozzle handle.

- Rochester, MN, USA

Every time I fill the gas tank of my 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T, the gas back flows out of the filler neck opening once the gas nozzle clicks as the tank becomes full. This back flow pours gas out of the filler neck, onto the side of the vehicle, onto the ground and, most times, on me. I have not approached Dodge about fixing this issue. Of course my warranty is gone. NHTSA: Force Dodge to do a recall on this issue. What is it going to take, someone catching on fire from gas pouring on them?

- New Bern, NC, USA

Fuel overflows almost every time I fill up. I have noticed that the little flap is now missing from the top of the filler tube.
