Sentra ES 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 125,000 miles

It is very annoying having to hold the handle on the gas nozzle. I have to run the level really slow and most of the time I need to fill the tank all the way and I do not know when it is actually full because if I start filling too fast the nozzle shuts off. The mechanic filled a whole in the gas cap area several weeks ago and now my check engine light still comes on every time I turn on the car. I have a warranty but this is not covered. Help....!!!!

Sentra 1.8L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

My wife and I have the same exact year make and model. She developed this problem 1st, then of course I developed the problem with my car. What happens is you pump the first dollars' worth of gas...it splashes back at you...then you can pump your gas about 20 cents at a time extremely slowly while the pump keeps clicking like the tank is full. To put in about 11 gallons it takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Like filling a semi.
