The car has been gushing gas out out of the filler tube every time it is filled for several months. Then the fuel pump completely failed and had to be replaced on 02/13/12 at a cost of $1137.34. Then on 02/28 the engine light came on requiring an new evaporative emissions sytem ecim switch had to be replaced at a cost of $178.17. The car still gushes gasoline out at every fill up and we are still waiting for a fix from the dealer on this issue.
My vehicle was stationed at a gas station pump as I was pumping fuel and I wanted to fill up the tank, and so I did. But, right before the pump stopped, the gas spit and spilled out of the tank, ran down the side of my vehicle and on to the floor.
