Relax. Soon legions of people will tell you that is not an uncommon problem with these cars. There is a Technical Service Bulliten out on this, and one of the next guys will tell you what it is. Then, you just make an appointment with your dealer and tell him you want the gas tank replaced. You have the TSB to stuff in his face if he tries to BS you. Let's help this guy out![sm=feedback.gif]

I believe they have to be able to duplicate the problem, so go in with a low tank and let 'em fill it. If it Fs up on them, show 'em the TSB if you have to, and they will have to change the tank. Soon the legions will tell you.....

Relax, relax, its just a simple prob that the dealer can take care of rather quickly. Now just hope that you dont have any of the OTHER problems so common to these cars! But if so, remember you have 3 years or 36,000 miles to sort it out.

I have the same problem but relax, just print out the TSB and take it to the dealer.
In the meantime you can fill your tank by turning the nozzle to the 3 o'clock position or try going to a station with an older nozzle that won't shut off after a few drops.

Soon the legions will tell you.....
Just curious why you tell him this twice instead of just telling him the TSB number or pointing him to the technical info forum where the TSBs are posted.
