“1. EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS SPILLD OUT ALL OVER! 2. THE GEAR SHIFT POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP. 3. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS STOPPED WORKING AT ALL! I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH A RECALL I RECEIVED ON THE UNDER BODY TRANSMISSION TUNNEL SHIELD AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAY IM ON THE LIST ITS BEEN MONTHS! *TR”

“THE LAST 2 TIMES I FILLED MY FUEL TANK IN MY 08 DODGE NITRO RT IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE PUMP STOPS...THEN THE TANK STARTS TO SPILL AT LEAST A HALF GALLON OF GAS GETS ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND THE GROUND!!! THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD AT THE FUEL STATIONS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND. A SIMPLE SPARK DUE TO A FAULTY GROUND IN THE AREA COULD CAUSE THIS TO IGNITE AND BE POTENTIALLY FATAL. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND A SAFETY RECALL BE ISSUED. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT THE POWERS THAT BE ARE NOT ENFORCING CHRYSLER TO MAKE THIS A RECALL ISSUE. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE TO BECOME SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. CHRYSLER HAS A TSB (14-001-09) IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE SO THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO WANT TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX THE ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP! *TR”
