When fueling my 2007 dodge nitro, the fuel kicks back and spills out on car and myself, no matter how slow u put fuel into vehicle. This happens everytime I fuel vehicle. Very dangerous to me and fuel station should someone cause a spark to ignite this fuel spill.
2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 73, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2007 dodge nitro, 3.7l engine, 4wd - everytime I fill the tank with gas, before the pump shuts off, gas spills out of the fuel filler. I've read about the jeep liberty and other dodge nitro's doing the same thing. I've tried different gas stations, filling slowly, etc. All with the same result. At $4.00 per gallon, I can't afford to waste a drop of gas. Not to mention the environmental impact of spilling gas all over the ground. We need to get the gov't involved and do a recall to fix the fuel tank rollover valve. If the us dept of transportation doesn't do anything - lets get the environmentalism involved. This is not only a safety issue right now (fuel spilling all over the ground could cause a fire), but if the car is involved in a rollover, gas will spill all over the place. Help me, help us all, help the environment.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, the fuel would overflow and onto the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the failure could possibly be a rollover valve in the fuel tank that was faulty. The dealer advised that the rollover valve should be replaced because in the event that the vehicle did rollover, all of the gasoline would spill. There were no recalls for the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 30,000.
When our 2007 dodge nitro is fueled up it over flows out of the gas tank neck. When fueling the gas pump nozzle will shut off as it should but then approximately a quart of gas will come shooting out of the gas tank neck and with this amount of fuel spilling it appears to me to be a very dangerous situation. It has also shot out and consequently covered my pants and shoes with gasoline and then to have to get in your vehicle and drive home is disgusting because of the smell. The spilling occurs every time that you fuel up even when you kick the nozzle off manually when near full. This is definitely a manufacturer defect and thank god a fire has not occurred because of the fuel spilling. The dodge dealer informs me that it is going to require a new gas tank at the cost of $364.00 plus labor. This vehicle is only four years old with 32,000 miles, which I have owned since brand new.
My nitro spews gas all over when I am filling it too. Talked to dealer,they told me it was the pump. Not the case. This has happened at many, many different pumps. Called chrysler directly and they threw another story at me that was a total lie. Everytime I fill up if I don't listen close enough it shoots gas out the filler neck and all over the vehicle. This is a serious safety matter that they refuse to address and pay for. I am calling an attorney this week to have them address this. Hopefully chrysler will absorb all costs. Doubt it but it's worth a try.
Hi I bought my 2007 dodge nitro in 2007, I have not had many issues a few minor ones no biggie. But recently the last year and a half my check engine light kept coming on then going away coming on then going away. It was getting me aggravated. Everytime I took it in to the dealer they said no everything is fine ok sure. Lately everytime I go to fill up my tank it has been overflowing. So I was really fed up I took it in and explained the situation to them (dealer) they informed me that it will need a new fuel tank and fill neck. Now I have done some research and apparently im not the only nitro owner going through this issue. I hear that the valve is defective and that it's a manufacturer defect and that chrysler knows about it. Now bear in mind we have all been driving a car god forbid got into an accident and the car blows up because of that. I am not happy I will pursue this and my service better get covered thank god I got the extra warranty!!!! I suggest on everybody's behalf that a recall is issued and if I pay the decidable I want my money back!!!!
I own a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4, bought it in 2010 since buying it I have had persistent problems with filling the tank. It seems that when I would fill the tank to the point that the pump shuts off I would have fuel shoot back out and down the side of the vehicle and on the ground. Excuse but do we not see a serious problem here? Took the vehicle to dealer first they replaced a canister located in the fuel tank. Did not fix the problem. Then they checked the fuel tank vacuum line for kinked line again not fixed. Finally they determined the roll over valve is faulty so they replaced the tank out of my pocket. My mileage was only in the 30,000 range and the warranty was expired. I have read hundreds of other complaints about this very subject and still dodge refuses to make this right. There is no recall on this problem any where and I would think dodge would want to make this right. Did they not learn from toyotas mistakes. Complaints include 2007 and 2008.
When filling the gas tank, it does not automatically shut off. It spews gas everywhere, getting on me and the vehicle. This happens every time I fill up the vehicle. The problem has not been corrected.
2007 dodge nitro gas tank overflows everytime tank is filled. When fuel pump clicks off several seconds later 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of fuel spills all over the back of the car and ground. Causing a fire hazard. From my understanding it is a check valve in the fuel tank that dodge will not cover. My nitro is out of warranty.
Fuel spills out all over the ground when fueling the vehicle. Started about a year ago when mileage was around 47,000. Now at 68,000 it is still doing it. I have to guess when to stop fueling. Please recall this vehicle again. Very dangerous and not good for the environment when fuel spills onto the ground and later enters our bays.
When fueling vehicle, gasoline will always squirt out of the filler pipe. This is a fire safety issue that chrysler should be addressing. I have to put my ear down next to the filler to hear when the tank is getting close to full, and hopefully shut the pump off before it spews gas all over side of car.
Within the last few weeks every time that I went to fill up my gas tank, gas would start pouring out of the gas tank. At first I thought it was the pump so I went to several other stations and every time, gas came out. The warranty for my truck just recently went up and I've made several calls to chrysler to have them pay for this out of their pocket. It's something that is faulty with their gas tanks and I'm not the only one that is seeing an issue. Hopefully with your help a recall can be issued for this model and make chrysler stand by their product regardless of warranty. Its a major safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
I have a 2007 dodge nitro it has 29 k miles on it every time I fill up with gas it spills out about a half a gallon of gas from the neck of the tank like there's a lot of pressure in the tank this spills all over the side of the car I have read of about 1 to 200 complaints about this when is dodge or chrysler going do something about this is a fire hazard and a safety concern we the owners of dodge vehicles really need a recall on these gas tanks.
2007 dodge nitro r/t overflow on gas tank spill quart of fuel on each fillup. I understand the tank has a faulty cutoff inside the tank which malfunctions. That means in the event of a roll over it will release fuel which increases probability of fire/deaths. Dodge is replacing tank on vehicles under warranty - they should replace all the defective tanks. Help!
I own a 2007 dodge nitro and have for 3 years. Gas overflows from the gas tank every time I fill up. This is a serious safety issue.
I own a 2007 dodge nitro with 47,000 miles that recently every time I fill up the gas tank, gas will spray out of the filler neck. It doesn't matter if the gas pump nozzle is being held or if you set it to fill automatically. As soon as the gas stops pumping, you can hear what sounds like a burping sound then about a cup full or more of gas comes spraying out of the filler neck. Have heard of other nitro owners with the same problem having the gas tank replaced because of a stuck roll over valve. My vehicle has yet to be repaired.
Every time I get fuel the pump will shut off, and then fuel will pour out of the fuel filling area. It
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the gasoline sensor was not working while she added fuel into the vehicle. The fuel would over flow and not indicate when the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the fuel tank was replaced and the cost was covered under warranty. The failure recurred after the vehicle was repaired. The dealer was contacted and stated that they would inspect the vehicle but if the fuel tank needed to be replaced they would not cover the costs. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 30,990.
Upon fueling up my gas tank, the nozzle will click off and then about a half gallon of gas comes rushing off.
Every time I attempt to fill the gas tank, the pump does not automatically shut off when the gas tank is full. Gasoline overflows out of the car's fill tube, down the side of the car and onto the ground. I am not forcing gas into the tank. I am only attempting to fill the tank as I have done for many years on my previous vehicles.
Splash back of gas every time I fill up. Runs down side of vehicle and onto ground seems like a major safety concern dodge should address. Called the company and they gave me a case number [xxx] and sent me to dealer to have my 2007 nitro checked. Dealer found gas tank check valve stuck closed and seal torn. To fix problem fuel tank and valve need to be replaced;$975. Called company back and since my mileage was 43,000 told me I would have a co-pay of $450.needless to say I wasn't happy to be paying for a safety issue dodge clearly knows about after reading other complaints on various websites.after telling this to my dodge case worker chelsie cs1123 she told me they weren't changing their policy and gave me 30 days. I had vehicle fixed and paid co-pay. Dodge knows they have you over a barrel and you can't do anything about it. I hope it doesn't take someone getting hurt before dodge takes responsibility might think that's cheaper than replacing faulty tanks and valves on all dodge nitros.

2007 dodge nitro. Every time we refuel the nitro gasoline overflows out of the fill line, leaving gas down the side of the dodge nitro and on the ground. We used other gas stations pump nozzles and still the same,gas everywhere. It don't matter how fast or how slow you fuel it still overflows.
Drive a 2007 dodge nitro and every time I fill my gas tank for the past 8 months the pump will shut off (like it should) then when I go to take the pump put gas shoots everywhere on me the car and ground I have not been able to "fill my tank at all I have to stop when I think it might be getting semi-full. I have read many forums on this problem. And believe that it I common problem with dodge nitros and should be fixed soon before it gets worse.
When filling gas tank, once the tank is full it does not trigger the fuel pump to shut off and gas comes spewing out of the tank until you manually shut off the fuel pump.
When filling my 2007 dodge nitro up with gas, there is no automatic shut off when the tank is about to be full, causing gas to spill out on the vehicle and gas station. This has been happening for about a year, I mentioned it to the car dealership where I purchased it, but they did not look into it. Now that dealership is closed and the "new" service station says I am 600 miles past my warrenty at 36600 miles.
I have a 2007 dodge nitro slt 4 x 4 and everytime I fill it with gas, the gas pump clicks and then gas comes shooting out and runs all down my car. I bought this vehicle in mid january 2010 and it has happened everytime I fill my tank.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. The contact stated that the fuel check valve within the fuel tank was not closing when the tank became full. This caused the fuel to spill back out because which indicated that the fuel tank was full when it was not. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the check valve needed to be replaced. This failure was not covered under the warranty since his vehicle had too many miles on it. There were no recalls related to the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000.
Vehicle 2007 dodge nitro slt 3.7 v-6: when fueling up the gas pump would click off and gas would come pumping out of the fuel door. Took my nitro to the dealership for repairs and after 2 failed previous repairs dodge replaced the gas tank and found a rollover valve was stuck which causes pressure in the tank. The pressure would build up and as you fill up the gas would over flow when tank was full.
I have a 2007 dodge nitro and ever time that I get gas when the gas nozzle shuts off gas actually is shooting out the gas fill valve. This may be problem with the fuel tank rollover valve.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro 4x4. When the contact filled up the fuel tank, gasoline would spew back out of the tank. She also smelled potent gasoline fumes inside the passenger compartment. The dealer could not duplicate the failure and stated that they would monitor the issue. As time progressed, the vehicle continued to experience the same failures. A diagnostic was performed and the dealer stated that the fuel pump and tank needed to be replaced. The contact would have to pay for the repairs because the vehicle was out of warranty. He has supporting documentation and video that demonstrates the failure. The current and failure mileages were less than 44,000.
