NHTSA Complaint #10980988 — 2012 MAZDA MAZDA3

WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK, GASOLINE GUSHES OR SPURTS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I KNOW NORMALLY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WHEN FUELING DOES NOT WORK. GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOWS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO OR IF I HOLD THE PUMP WHEN FUELING). IT IS A MAJOR OVERFLOW. NOT A LITTLE GAS COMES OUT, A LOT COMES OUT, AND FORCEFULLY. I CANNOT FILL MY TANK MORE THAN 10 GALLONS. GAS WILL LITERALLY SHOOT OUT AROUND THE PUMP. FUEL HAS HIT MY LEGS AND FEET SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS ALWAYS TURNED OFF WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN FUELING.
