IN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AS SOON AS THE PUMP STOPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK. THIS EVEN HAPPENS IF I FINISH THE FINAL FEW GALLONS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE FILL UPS AND ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SOME MONTHS AGO. *TR

IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP 3 OR 4 TIMES WITH SHORT TERM FIXES BUT REVERTS TO DOING IT AGAIN. THE GASOLINE AMOUNT IS SIGNIFICANT ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. *TR
