Fuel tank overflows every time that we fill the tank. When the gas is filled, the nozzle is fully inserted in the tank and will not automatically shut-off spilling gas everywhere until I manually stop the nozzle.

Refueling spillage dodge nitro r/t when fueling the vehicle, fuel overflows up thru the filler neck and onto the person who is refueling the SUV, thus causing it to spill over the paint of the car with approximately 30 - 50oz of gas. Unfortunately this occurs about 70% of the time the nitro is fueled up. This is very similar to a recall I had on my 2005 dodge durango. Below are the issues noted by other dodge nitro owners on the nitro forums website.

Every time I fill the tank the pump at the gas station shuts off but I have fuel that burps back out. From what I understand about these cars is that there is a fuel shutoff valve on the gas tank to prevent fires/explosions in the event of a rollover accident that is defective. My vehicle is out of warranty and this causes me concern for my and others saftey. I would like chrysler to fix this problem as I don't believe I should have to pay for this out of pocket as they know that this is a common problem with these cars.

2007 dodge nitro slt - car sitting in driveway overnight the vehicle listed, on multiple occasions, will go into a state where attempting to start the vehicle causes multiple odd things to simultaneously happen: loud clicking noises can be heard from engine compartment headlights / tail lights flash wipers start and stop randomly all dash lights randomly turn on and off radio clock is reset to 12:00 as if the battery was disconnected radio sometimes randomly turns on/off fuel pump can be heard starting and stopping, sometimes will not stop sometimes putting a battery charger on the car's battery will make it start. Sometimes it only makes the clicking louder, along with random other events listed above. Sometimes the only thing that fixes the problem is a thump with a small rubber mallet to the black box just to the rear of the main 12 volt battery. This seems to be more likely to happen in colder weather, but is not limited to happening during cold weather. Sometimes, just unlocking the car doors with the dodge key fob will cause some issues to happen. Sometimes the issues are followed up with check engine light coming on, but when codes are pulled they are invalid codes (codes checked at dealer).

When filling tank with gas, fuel will spew back out splashing all over person, ground and surroundings. This happens when fueling is complete and you are removing the nozzle after the nozzle is shut off.. The back splashis so violent, gas will splash into your eyes.

I just purchased a 2007 dodge nitro with 57334 kms. On my first refueling I was almost soaked in gasoline because of what I determined later as a factory faulty rollover valve in the gas tank. The hose clicks off as the tank is full but then the gasoline gushes out all over the vehicle & ground. The amount is considerable. This is a very dangerous fire issue. On my 2nd refueling was the same thing & each additional fill. Hasn't there been any recalls or forcible fix to get the manufacture to correct this issue?

Back driver side window has came off the track twice in about 12 months, replaced motor, still did it. Every time I fill up with gas it spills out all over the car and ground. The windshield wipers only work on high some of the time. Driver side door handle broke off, very expensive to fix!
