- Fuel/propulsion system
At time of fill up, when the pump stops full spews out of the fuel filler neck. it has been this way since we purchased the car and when I brought this to the sales managers attention he played it off as no big deal. he did offer an extended warranty to purchase to have the car "fixed" so it wouldn't spew fuel on the ground or person pumping gas. I find it hard to believe this has not been addressed in a recall.
