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.

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.

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.

The contact stated when filling vehicle with gas it spilled over . The gas tank acted as if it was full. The vehicle was taken to a dealership three times . Twice the spider vent was replaced. Also, the filler neck was replaced. The vehicle is still under warranty. Contacted Ford, and they were unable to duplicate the problem.

When filling the gas tank, the automatic shut off when the tank is full does not function. This leads to excess gas spilling out. This has occured at numerous self-serve and full serve gas stations indicating that it is not a problem with the pump but a problem with the design of the gas tank/intake mechanism.
