Description of the problem | Everytime i go to fill up my gasoline tank of the 2008 dodge nitro i just purchased in dec 2010 it overflows all over the side of my car. This is very upsetting and i see this as a major safety issue. In addition to that the finish of the nitro is being ruined everytime i fill up. Now i have to put in 40 $'s of gas in each time to avoid overflowing the tank. This is obnoxious. Who in the world wants to stop at the gas station more frequently because of a gasoline tank malfunction? Which i would have known before buying the thing! |
