Consumer Description

WHEN FUELING THE CAR, THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOES NOT WORK AND FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND THE CAR COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND ALL THEY WOULD DO IS CLEAN OUT THE FILTER. THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TT
