2006 Ford Escape gas fills very slowly. Gas backs out the tank. Ford refuses to fix it because I am 5000 miles over warranty. Known issue since 2006. . . . . 4 technical service bulletins regarding the issue. Wants to charge me $87 to "diagnose" it, plus labor, parts, etc. Dangerous to me to have gas spilling out of vehicle because the drainage is clogged; the gas cap cover is missing, so I can only assume that it's in the tube. . . . . Poor construction.
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Escape. The contact stated that when dispensing fuel into the fuel filler neck, the gasoline pump would prematurely shut off and not allow the fuel to consume fuel to its full capacity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where they detected a blockage in the fuel fill pipe venting system. The technician removed a spider nest from the vent hose. The failure mileage was 2.
