Consumer Description

WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT STOP. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL STATIONS EVERY TIME. THE FUEL IS QUITE EXPLOSIVE WHEN FULL, AND JUMPS OUT OF THE TANK GETTING FUEL EVERYWHERE. IT JUMPS ABOUT A FOOT OUT OF THE TANK. YOU CAN HEAR THAT THERE IS AN AIR POCKET IN MY GAS TANK. I CAN NEVER FILL IT FULL AND HAVE TO STOP JUST SHORT. I ALSO HAVE TO CHECK MY FUEL BY TURNING THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION WHICH APPARENTLY NOW HAS MESSED WITH MY LOCKS ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, IF YOU TURN IT TO THE ON/LOCK POSITION 4 TIMES IN A ROW IT DOES SOMETHING TO YOUR LOCKS. SO NOW MY LOCKS ARE MESSED UP TOO. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WOULD COST OVER 400 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. *TR
