 Description of the problemCurrently own a 2008 dodge nitro. The past 4 times i have filled it with gas, the gas comes back spewing out of the filler nozzle in the car. It never signals the pump to shut off. This happened at 4 different gas stations and different times of the day. 2 of the times gas got on my and my clothes. All 4 times my car is covered with gas as well as the ground. After that i realize it is something wrong with my car. I called the dealer on friday 10/1/2010 and told them about the problem. The exact words that came out of their mouths were "we have heard of this problem before just bring it down when you can" i go to the dealership at 8am on 10/4/2010 the dealer says it is out of warranty by 2400 miles. He calls me at 1030 and tells me it is going to be $1100 to replace the gas tank and filler nozzle to fix the problem. I am not having this work done because this should be considered a recall. This, in my opinion is a pretty serious situation and after doing some research on the internet has definitely happened to other people with the same car. One little spark could light me and my car on fire as well as a gas station. They said replacing a gas tank and filler nozzle will fix the problem. Currently i am awaiting a phone call from the national dodge customer service department about this topic and having them cover the costs of replacing the defective parts.
