Typical fuel system symptoms owners report
- Fuel spills or spews out of the filler neck once the pump's auto-shutoff triggers, splashing onto the vehicle, the ground, or the person fueling.

- Some owners were told by a dealer service center that a rollover valve inside the fuel tank was not working, requiring tank replacement.
