Naturally gas gets all over the car, the ground and is still coming out of the nozzle. I'm not topping off, in fact I don't even get the chance. I've never had this kind of problem with any other vehicle before and would like some sort of clue of what this is before contact the dealer. Has anyone else had this problem, or familiar with what this is?
Welcome!
Strange you posted this issue since I had this happen to me yesterday for the first time!

I have had several "Engine Malfunction Indicator Lights" (code PO441) and was told to purchase the most expensive Factory gas cap I have ever purchased (68030940AA)to eliminate this issue after a $47.05 service charge.

Surprisingly this seems to have corrected this issue but now I too have the same problem! Not sure but must be a venting issue and will see what can be done in February when I take my Nitro in for service. Let us know what if anything solves your (our) problem. Thanks for the Post.
