2010 dodge nitro spills fuel out of fuel intake every time you attempt to fill up the tank. This causes about 1/2 gallon of fuel to spray all over the vehicle and the operator

When filling vehicle with fuel, excess fuel will spew from the filler tube onto side of vehicle and ground causing safety issues. This has happened numerous times in the 5+ years I have owned the vehicle.

When filling my fuel tank, if I fill until full the tank overflows, spilling fuel all over the car, ground and person filling the tank.

My vehicle continues to stall without warning. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions they continue to say nothing is wrong with the car, and they are not aware of any problems with the vehicle. I also have taken it to independent mechanics they say it doesn't give any codes. It seems there is a recurring issue with the nitro that is at this point becoming a safety hazard. The gas spews out when I fill the tank again they say there is no problem.

Upon filling up gasoline at two separate gas stations on two separate days, gasoline was observed to spew out even though the gas pump itself had shut off. Possible inlet control valve defect, filler tube defect. Unsure but gas simply spews out, about a half gallon before stopping.

When filling the vehicle with gasoline a large back flow of fuel will splash out of the fuel fill tube onto the exterior of the vehicle. This has occurred several times in the past several weeks causing a extremely unsafe condition.

When filling the tank the gas shoots out getting on my clothes and the ground.

Bought this car 40 days ago from a big dealership. Supposedly they have this vigorous inspection of all their used vehicles...apparently not. We cannot fill our gas tank to the full level. Everyone we do it spits out a ton of gas, not just a little a lot!! Brought it back to dealer for our 90-day warranty & naturally the warranty doesn't cover it. They think the problem is the filler neck not letting out the air for the gas to go in so it spits it all out. Cost to repair it ... $500 in hopes that is what the problem is. You would think that with this being a major safety issue chrysler would pay for it. Called chrysler customer service & they said they can't do anything for me. I guess we just run the risk of catching something on fire before anything is done about this issue. Hopefully someone doesn't get killed over something that should have been recalled many times over. Good luck to everyone's ne with this issue.
