The dealer replaced the filler tube for filling up the gas tank. Every time I pump gas into the vehicle I get back splash that goes all over myself and the ground. I've been trying to get them to fix the problem, but the dealer and the manufacturer don't want to fix the problem. The vehicle was still under warranty when the problem started. They have replaced the filler tube twice and the gas tank, but the problem still exists. This back splash is dangerous to my health and the environment. I bought this vehicle brand new. The problem wasn't there when I bought the van. *tr
