Refueling spillage dodge nitro r/t when fueling the vehicle, fuel overflows up thru the filler neck and onto the person who is refueling the SUV, thus causing it to spill over the paint of the car with approximately 30 - 50oz of gas. Unfortunately this occurs about 70% of the time the nitro is fueled up. This is very similar to a recall I had on my 2005 dodge durango. Below are the issues noted by other dodge nitro owners on the nitro forums website. Https://www.nitroforumz.com/threads/gas-overflow-fixed.700/page-6#post-159638…
Electrical System · at 100,000 miles · reported Oct 12, 2018
Horn honks whenever it wants. Abs, esp/bas, traction control, and check engine light come on. Abs esp/bas and traction control lights were intermittent but now are consistent. Engine code comes and goes and says it cant communicate with tipm. Occasionally when parking and pulling out of a parking spot it feels like there is no power steering/ runs rough while turning sharply but there is no leak in power steering and it is an intermittent problem.
Electrical System · at 90,000 miles · reported Sep 29, 2018
Horn goes off on it own, even while driving. Starts won't start, battery is not dead. Doors lock and unlock on their own. Passenger door controls the drive setting for locking and unlocking car, shutting radio off. The drive door will lock and not let you out, even trying to pull it up manual and it won't let you. Have to use key in door to unlock and quickly open before it locks again. In an accident this could be a big problem.
