I purchased the car on 10/07\2024, the dealer said there was a recall and I assumed it was for this issue: When I fill the tank it shoots fuel all over the place. Ive tried different gas stations but it doesn't help, it still shoots or spills fuel all over the place. I checked online and this seems to be a known problem caused by the ethanol in the fuel reacting with a check valve. HAVING FUEL SHOOT OUT AT YOU EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE CAR IS DANGEROUS!!!

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL FILLER NECK. THE ENTIRE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE VALVE IS PART OF THE TANK AND CANNOT BE REPLACED SEPARATELY. THE FUEL SPILLAGE HAZARD CREATES RISK OF EXPLOSION AT THE GAS STATION.
