I recently took my 2002 Hyundai Sonata to kroger gas station to fill up my tank that was on 1/4 full. However, when I got there and started to pump my gas it started out by only pumping out $0. 05 of gas before the pump clicked off. Then it only was pumping $0. 03 of gas before it clicked off. I tried to gingerly squeeze the handle to make it pretty much drip out, but that was not working either because it kept shutting off. I ended up going to a bp gas station bc I thought maybe it could have been the kroger pump, but the same thing happened. I ended up pumping $16 of gas which took me about 10 minutes to do! I have 71,000 miles on my car and just started having this problem 2 days ago. Gas will not pump more then a few cents before it shuts off and I am worried that I will run out of gas as well because I don't want to fill it up either if people have problem with gas spewing out.

Can't put gas in my tank, I would have to slowly put it in and sometimes I only can get 4-6 dollars although I have driven all day and my gas hand states that I am on empty. I really feel that this is a safety hazard, I could possible run out of gas while driving and cause a collision, or just over flow my gas tank, this I am very, very concern about. Please help me.
