Owners report fuel splashing out of the filler neck during normal refueling, with fuel contaminating the charcoal canister and requiring canister replacement. Another owner experienced a no-start condition at 40,000 miles; the dealer diagnosed fuel pump failure covered under recall 23V858000, replaced the fuel pump along with the battery, and the vehicle restarted. A separate case involved abnormally strong gasoline odor that developed after the owner had a fuel system recall repair (21V215000) performed—the dealer couldn't pinpoint the cause.
The bulk of complaints stem from parts shortages. Eight owners received recall 23V858000 notices but couldn't get their vehicles repaired because the parts were not available—some dealers confirmed this lack of supply, and delays stretched beyond what owners considered reasonable. One owner cited similar parts unavailability for recall 20V314000. No root cause for the parts delays is stated in the narratives, but multiple confirmations from dealers indicate a supply chain issue rather than owner error or misunderstanding.
