WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT CLOSE AND GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT GAS SPILLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES,WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF IF I AM MOVING SLOWLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2006. THE FIRST YEAR, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR STALLING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR THE TIME TO CONTINUE BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THIS TRUCK STALLING ON ITS OWN. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SPILLING OUT GAS IF IT WAS FILLED UP. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS LISTED ON MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT GAS SPILLED OUT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT GAS WAS SPILLING FROM THE TANK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE EXPENSIVE CHARGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS SINCE I AM PAYING $700 A MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FINANCED AT THAT AMOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IS NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT STILL OWED. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON-COLLISION ON APRIL 25, 2011 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE VEHICLE DOES START NORMALLY AFTER A SECOND. THE INCIDENTS ARE SPORADIC HOWEVER ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AN MANY HAVE COMPLAINED. THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW FAULT CODE.

WHEN PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY TANK, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.. I ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 4-5 CUPS OF GAS END UP ON THE GROUND, ON MY FEET, AND ON MY CLOTHES. IT WILL CONTINUALLY SPEW OUT UNLESS I BARELY DEPRESS THE FILL UP ARM AT THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN NOT ONLY GASOLINE OVER THE GROUND AND MYSELF, BUT IT WILL OFTEN TAKE ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2010 BEGAN TO FILL GAS TANK, WHEN TANK FULL, GAS NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AND A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER GASOLINE SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER MY PANTS AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. SINCE THAT TIME, EVERYTIME TANK IS FILLED, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN IGNITION SOURCE WITH ALL THE GAS THAT LEAKS OUT, A FIRE COULD RESULT, OR IF THE PUMP HAPPENS TO HAVE A FLANGE NEAR END, IT HAS SPRAYED OUT FROM SIDES, AND IF CHILD HAPPENS TO BE WALKING BY, IT COULD SPRAY A CHILD IN THE EYES. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ONE OF THE EPISODES OF GAS COMING OUT FROM AROUND PUMP NOZZLE AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AS IT APPEARS THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY AUTOMOBILE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND SAID THEY WOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR SOME OF THE COST TO GET IT FIXED, HOWEVER WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT AMOUNT THEY WOULD PAY UNTIL AFTER TAKING IT IN. PER SERVICE DEPT REPORT "THE FUEL TANK FLAPPER IS STICKING". THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WERE FIXED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.
