During fueling the vehicle the fuel spills out of the filler neck and sprays all over the car and ground. The trouble seems to be in a tank vent hose problem. This seems like it creates a fire and health/safety problem.

These lights stay on even after repairs are done. They go off for a couple days and then come back on. This has been going on for at least 2 years. I also have electrical problem with my speedometer and gauges. I also have been having a problem with my fuel vacuum causing the gas to spill out when pumping and tank is not full.

Vehicle supposedly has 25 gallon gas tank. Will not accept more than 15 gallons when dash light indicates low fuel ( 1/16 tank ). Dealer has replaced tank 4 times, done several TSB procedures. Manufacturer notified. Still not resolved.
While driving vehicle it ran out of gas. Had coasted to side of road. Fuel gauge showed fuel in tank, but was informed no fuel in tank.
