1 Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2008

I am having trouble adding gas to my SUV, it keep shutting the nozel off. I must very slowley add the gas or it will shut off. Today 1/29/08, I added 10 gallons of gas and it took me about 20 minutes to do so. I have taken the SUV to the dealer where I bought it to have it checked out. They replaced the fill tube and told me that it should be ok now, but that I should still add the gas at a slow rate because the new pumps at the stations are more pressure sensitive and will shut off faster. I am still having the problem and need a solution as I like the SUV and would not like to get rid of it just because it takes so long to put in gas.
