What owners wrote
When filling vehicle with fuel, fuel blew back out on consumer's hand. Dealer has been notified. Dealer was unable to duplicate problem. Please provide further information.
Gasoline leaked from tank upon filling. I had vehicle serviced and dealer found that insulation had melted on wires on fuel pump internal to fuel tank. Was advised to keep at least 1/4 full to prevent the problem. Both the leak and melted wires imply a safety problem.
