This vehicle has been to the dealer 3 times for fuel leaking from the top of the tank after filling it up at the gas station. Fuel pump was replaced as well as tank. Condition goes away and then returns again 9-12 months after repair. Obdviously parts are failing for the same reason. Car will lose approx. 3 gallons after leaving gas station driving down the road. Someone is going to end up dead if they dont correct this. Vehicle is out of warranty, but problem is related to the same recall. I cant afford the parts and labor to repair it, leaving me no choice but to drive it.
