It happens with my 07 very rarely but as others have said I turn the nozzle and it completes the fill with no problem. I think its probably a combination of things; the pump, the tank, and even the weather. But like I said its rare in my car, maybe 3 times a year at most.

There's a few TSB's plus a whole lot of threads. But the TSB "fix" doesn't really fix it. It has to do with the saddle type tanks. But don't fret because you're not alone.
There are a few work-arounds that work and in various combinations:
There are a few work-arounds that work and in various combinations:
- Slow down fuel delivery as slow as possible, then speed up to find where it begins to kick off.
- Pull the pump nozzle out of the filler tube about half-way
- turn the pump handle 45, 90 sometimes even 180 degrees
- different pumps have different sensitivities. Find a pump that isn't so persnickity.
- Stand on your head and spit nickles

Found this related thread. I've never tried it, so I don't know how well it may work.

Key on does not open up the vapor recovery system.
