The gas tank doesn't stop the pump when it's full resulting in gas overflowing everywhere.

Filled my gas tank up today and the gas kept coming out once it was full. It had spilled all over me, my car, and the ground.

At full tank the pump shutoff fails every time and fuel spills from filler when pumping at any pump at any rate causing fuel to run down the side of the vehicle and puddle on the ground. I have seen more complaints of this than most other problems. This is a dangerous and common manufacturing defect that should be dealt with by a recall.

When filling up the gas tank, after pump automatically shuts off, approximately 1/2 gallon of gas overflows. This has happened 3 times. The last time, gas was propelled into my face and all over my clothes. Research indicates that this is due to a defect in the valve that prevents gas leakage during/after a rollover crash. This is worrisome in and of itself, but especially when combined with the other 2 problems I've had with this vehicle. About 2 years ago, I was going to exit the driver's seat when the interior door handle broke off in my hand. The master switch for the power windows stopped working within a few days of that. I am worried that I can be in an accident in which the car catches fire due to the defective valve, and I will not be able to exit my car if the door handle breaks off again and the windows won't roll down. I have been told that the fix for this valve is to get the gas tank replaced, at my own expense. Also, when I went to the dealer to order my door handle, they already had some in stock, which indicates, to me, that this is a common problem and yet chrysler has not recalled it. The shoddy construction of this vehicle combined with the lack of assistance from chrysler has ensured that I will never purchase another one of their products again.

Occasionally, when I am filling up my tank with gas (regardless of the gas station) the auto shutoff mechanism will not work and a moderate amount of gasoline will overflow out of the tank and onto the car/street.

When fueling the car, the auto shutoff does not work and fuel spews out of the tank. This is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that is there to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident. The valve is defective, and thus the gas spills out, and the car could possibly explode in a rollover accident. I had taken it to a dealership about a year ago and all they would do is clean out the filter. That did not resolve the problem.

The gas nozzle does not cut off when the tank is full, therefore causing large amounts of gas to spill on ground.

While refueling gas will overflow onto the truck and ground. This happens every time I refuel now. It does not matter how much gas is in the tank, what gas station, time of day, winter or summer, the result is the same fuel overflow.
