WHEN FUELING GAS, ONCE THE PUMP CLICKS AND STOPS PRODUCING FUEL AS THE CAR IS FULL, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR FROM THE OPENING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, TURNED OFF. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT I WOULD SAY ABOUT 2 OUT OF 5 TIMES FUELING. IT DOES THIS AT ALL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, THERE IS NO SPECIFIC PUMP THAT IT DOES IT AT.
WHEN FUELING AFTER PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF GAS WILL SPILL OUT, CAUSING A GASS SPILL. DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THERE IS NO FIX. REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT LOWER WITH SWITCH. DEALERSHIP IS WELL AWARE BUT STATES THERE ARE NO FIXES. ALSO COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE DASH AND THE COOLANT WAS LOW WITH LESS THAN 9K MILES. CAR IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES.

ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2020, I WAS AT A STOP AND NEEDED TO GO NORTHBOUND ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. I SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE WHICH PUT ME IN HARMS WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FOR A MOMENT THERE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET T-BONED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
