| 2008 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK ON MY 2008 DODGE NITRO FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK UNLESS I MANUALLY STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS EITHER A PROBLEM WITH THE FILTER ON THE GAS LINE OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LINE ITSELF. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ALSO IS ON THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. *TR |
