The fuel filler will not accept gasoline at a normal rate. Even at minimum speed it will shut off and/or spit fuel back. Have used different pumps, different stations, different positions happens almost 100% of the time. Also major water leakage around windshield on passenger side of car.

Unable to properly pump fuel into the vehicle. Can only put in about 1/2 gallon before the pump shuts off. Sometimes fuel blows back out the filler neck. Call to dealership was told car had developed a fuel venting problem. Appears they know this is common problem and yet no one is notified. Say they will track down the problem for $89 but then I will have to pay fix the problem separately.
