Description of the problem | Every time i fill my fuel tank in my 08 dodge nitro rt it spills out all over the ground. This occurs when im setting the pump to stop automatically and the pump stops then the tank starts to spill. It seems to a check valve issue with the tank an 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! |
