What owners wrote
There is an issue with the fuel tank/ valve in this model dodge vehicle. Every time I go to fuel up I have to guess the number of gallons it will take before I stop pumping in fuel, otherwise fuel will spill out all over the side and the ground. This happens every time I fuel up, no matter the gas station or type of pump or fuel grade. Spoke to chrysler llc. They stated that it was not on the recall for my year vehicle but it was for the 2007 - 2008 models. Why is it not on the recall!???!!!
Regardless of which gas station/pump, during refuel gas will overflow and spray onto the ground, car, and operator. Vehicle always stationary.
