I have a 2007 dodge nitro and after filling up my gas tank the nozzle clicked and there comes fuel gushing out all over the place. It happens every single time I fill my tank with gas.
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. This started about 52,000 miles and I have 60,086 miles now.

As you are putting gas into the fuel tank it will overflow from filler spout and spill out causing a hazardous condition and environmental problem. This will happen not matter the amount of fuel in tank. I was told by dealer that the hole into the gas tank is smaller than the fill line and causes back up. If you try to fill very slow the sensor in the pump does not detect and it overflows. Dealer has replaced gas tank but did not help the problem.
Uncontrolled accelleration of 2007 dodge nitro, w/3.7 litre, has happened 5 times in six months of owning . Cant be fixed by dealer cause doesn't show code or able to duplicate when they have it , only way to stop it is to put in neutral and kill engine . Have had other problems like idle rough and surging , and like someone turning key off and on for split second while driving at highway speeds. There has not been any pattern to when sudden acel happens , it has been random and can seemingly happen w/out notice. The dealer keeps telling me to keep driving it till it does it again so they can try to get codes or something to trouble shoot it. But this is very dangerous as you would think. Im at a loss to what to do , I have contacted dodge complaint line and they don't seem to worried about my safety as it would seem , do to them wanting me to keep bringing it back to dealer . Also no parts have been changed in order to try to correct ,only hook up scanner and drive around block and flash programs at it which has seemingly had ill affect on it as in my fuel mileage has went 23-24 highway to about 15-18 now, and they cant get it back where it was, now it is parked in driveway and family wont drive because scared of it, and I m still paying on vehicle that is unsafe and no idea how to fix , or dodge I should say, cant fix.
