When my fuel tank is empty and i refill the tank, after the pump clicks off gas pours out of the tank. This has been happening for about 7 weeks. Also sometimes when starting the vehicle it doesn't start but continues to turn itself over and over even after the key is shut off. This happens sporadically and dodge refuses to fix either one although the vehicle is still under warranty, because it cannot be duplicated…
