Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY 2012 AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL UP, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION, ETC. THE FUEL SHUTOFF DOES NOT WORK AND GAS IS SPEWED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR ALONG WITH ME OR ANYTHING ELSE CLOSE TO THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS IT TO GUESS AT WHEN IT IS GETTING FULL AND STOP IT BEFORE IT GETS FULL. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYWHERE. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM AND ALL SUGGEST A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AT AROUND $1000. NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN AFFORD THAT AND THIS IS JUST AN ACCIDENT/EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. *TR
