Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Chrysler Sebring

The incident: during fill up at gas station, automatic shut off of the gas pump occurred when tank was full. However, gas overflowed from underneath fill location (above wheel well) and leaked all over ground. This has been happening since the car had 80,000 on the odometer. I have tried different ways of pumping gas into car, all with same result of overflow. This seems to be a common problem.
