My airbag light came on a week ago and wont go off. Very nerve wracking. If I fill gas tank gas comes back out of tank all over me and truck. Key fob stopped working setting off engine immobilizer costing me $207 for a new key because the one that came with truck could not be just reprogrammed. I love my truck, but it is becoming one thing after the other and as a single disabled mom of an 8 year old, I cant afford this money pit. Especially with what my loan costs me every month. I seriously thing chrysler should take some responsibility for problems in their vehicles especially since I see a lot of people have complained about the same issues. I can say I will never buy another chrysler product again. We little people pay more than enough for these vehicles, to just have to turn around and invest thousands more. I would not complain if it was just mine, but when you look and see all the other people that have complained about the same issues, then its time to complain because it is obviously not just mine and not just because its an older vehicle which I had thought til I saw the other complaints!!!!!!!!!!
2007 Dodge Nitro fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 138, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I fill the fuel tank the fuel spills out on me, on the car and the ground, this happens every time I try and fill the gas tank. I was on dodge forum and told this happens to all 2007 and 2008 dodge nitros and this is a safety issue. I was told this is a vent valve/check valve default and this valve is supposed to shut down the gas to prevent an explosion in an accident. Dodge had a recall for their jeep but never issued a recall for the nitro!! Dodge should be responsible for replacing the fuel tank with no cost to me.
When adding fuel the gasoline always spits back out when tank is full spilling gasoline over the truck tire and ground. There was a recall on this a little after I purchased the nitro new, but mack massey dodge in el paso, tx said nothing wrong with my vehicle. So why am I still having the same problem throughout all these years?
When filling gas tank, gas pump clicks for full and gas spills out of the tank all over the ground and person filling the tank. Very dangerous as gas is also all over that part of the car. Apparently this is a complaint from a lot of people yet there is no recall for this issue.
At each fuel refill, gas spews out after the pump clicks off at the full stage, very unsafe and messy. Gas gets all over my shoes and clothes and the ground
As you fill up vehicle with gas make a clicking sound when full and spill out of tank getting gas on car. This can cause a fire and is hazardous to the environment.this issue has been going on since I purchased this vehicle back in 2007.
Fueling at gas pump , overflows all over the side of my vehicle ! Cant fill up the tank to full !!
When filling the gas tank if I do not manually stop the pump before the tank is full, the tank will overflow. This has happened multiple times at multiple stations using multiple pumps. The tank does not allow the pumps to auto shutoff function to work
Electrical problem when pressing unlock button my doors lock instead. My plug outlet no longer works. When rolling down driver window down. Passenger window will roll down and up also. My gas cap light has stayed and and gas cap has been replaced.shift solenoid
Everything falling apart on this car. Now the horn goes off when its off, on the freeway or just at a stop light, the other thing, when I fill up the gas tank the gas shoots back up.
My truck is have trouble with timps system and it's a 2007 and I seen it was a recall
During refueling my vehicle has been "burping" gas back when near full. At first this was occurring when using the automatic shutoff on gas pump handles, but it continued to do so even when manually operating gas pump handles. After searching through forums with this issue, it appears it's a known fault with the roll-over valve which dodge is correcting at the owners expense. Having a known safety defect that causes fuel to spill in quantity (estimating a pint or more) when refueling and the distinct probably that fuel would spill in the event of a roll-over is not something that customers should be forced into paying for.
When filling the gas tank it spews gas out of tank all over the vehicle, ground and anything else that is nearby. This happens every time I fill up the tank as soon as the pump stops.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. After filling the vehicle's fuel tank, fuel spilled out without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Fuel tank overflows during fill up 0
My 07 dodge nitro rt has always had an issue while filling up, it doesn't stop like other vehicles and just over flows splashing gas all over the vehicle and floor. My fix for this was just to not fully fill the tank. The other issue I've had for the better part of a year is that I've had a "gas cap" error light that after replacing said gas cap and a trip to pepboys turned out it was a small evap leak caused by a faulty gas tank/innards common in older nitros, in my experience this also causes a hard start. I think this is obviously a manufacturing issue in the gas tank and would like some guidence on a resolve. Thank you
Once fuel tank reaches it's capacity, gas spits back out overflowing the tank. Issue has been going on for awhile.
Truck hesitating to start on & off - consulted with chrysler jeep mechanic who I showed him a video of what I captured when my truck wouldn't start right away, advised me that it didn't sound or look like the ignition, that it possibly was the "external fuel pump relay and harness". Truck was left at dealer for several days to allow them time to properly diagnose what may have been going on. Because of the quoted price [$435], I suggested to her that I would have my personal mechanic repair it and would like to purchase the actual harness kit which only cost $32.92. Part could not be purchased because it was flagged as an "recall". Natasha checked w/mike to confirm this info, drop off date was set - asked her - there will be no charge, correct, since this is an recall part? She said no, there wouldn't, that's correct. Service tech kenney handed me a invoice for $415 stating there was a charge - which I totally disagreed. Once natasha arrived, we discussed this matter in total disagreement since I was under the understanding this was a "recall" part and wasn't expecting to pay as previously discussed. Later that day before returning to pick my truck up, I contacted the dodge headquarters & spoke with caitlin. She stated because my truck didn't have any recalls on it, this part did not qualify & if it did, I would've been contacted. I told her I totally disagreed since I only found out during our discussion there was a recall on my truck for the gas tank - and I still have not been contact by mail or phone for that issue. Chrysler dealer services dodge & jeep vehicles & this is the only place I can get this part which has been considered a faulty/defective recall part and because I don't own a chrysler, my truck doesn't qualify, but I'm forced to pay for a recalled part?
Every time I go to the gas station to fill up, gas overflows.
Whin filling tank gas boils out just after the auto shutoff clicks.
When fueling my nitro the gas flowed out of the tank and onto the side of my truck and the ground. It never shut off as it was supposed to when full.
Everytime that I fill up I have to watch fuel gauge is because the fuel pump does not pop when it is full until it overflows. This causes gas to get on the ground and all over the vehicle. This is a safety hazard. There are reports on a lot of forums that many people have had the same problem with this happening.
Gas tank overflows when filling. This has happened every time since we bought the vehicle 3 weeks ago.
Fuel overflow when filling tank.
Fuel spills from filler neck when refueling.
This vehicle as bought used at a chevrolet dealership in arlington, tx with about 33,800 miles on it. When refueling this vehicle for the first time the gas pump did not shut off when the tank was full, resulting in gas overflowing onto the side of the vehicle and spilling on the ground. This same kind of malfunction continues to occur every time it is refueled unless the person refueling it manually stops the pump before the tank is completely full. Sometimes the pump shuts off as gas begins to overflow, and other times the pump does not shut off at all. This condition is very hazardous, harmful to the vehicle's paint, and wasteful.

When I am filling gas tank, the automatic shut off does not work, and fuel pours out everywhere. I have been covered in gas several times as it suddenly overflows and almost seems to shoot out. It does not happen every time, started about two years ago but seems to be happening more frequently.
