Description of the problem | 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!!! |
