Every time I pump gas it spits back out at me. No matter what I do. This is completely unacceptable and dangerous
I purchased the car on 10/07\2024, the dealer said there was a recall and I assumed it was for this issue: When I fill the tank it shoots fuel all over the place. Ive tried different gas stations but it doesn't help, it still shoots or spills fuel all over the place. I checked online and this seems…
Cannot add fuel to tank without it kicking fuel nozzle off, I have to add fuel slower then the fuel nozzle will do on it's on, takes for ever to add any amount of fuel, problem started out by splashing fuel on to me and the vehicle before it would complete filling tank.
