What owners wrote

When filling tank with gas, fuel will spew back out splashing all over person, ground and surroundings. This happens when fueling is complete and you are removing the nozzle after the nozzle is shut off.. The back splashis so violent, gas will splash into your eyes.

Reported at 68,000 miles, March 2014 Injury

Every time I attempt to fill the gas tank, the pump does not automatically shut off when the gas tank is full. Gasoline overflows out of the car's fill tube, down the side of the car and onto the ground. I am not forcing gas into the tank. I am only attempting to fill the tank as I have done for many years on my previous vehicles.
