1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2020

At 47,000 miles the vehicle would not allow fuel to be put into the tank. Taken to dealership to be told that the suction pump inside gas tank was over pressurizing the tank causing fuel to shoot out of the gas filling tube. This exact same issues was in the 2015 and 2016 models and recall 20y6 addressed them. Now the 2017 model is doing the same and they are refusing to fix the item under warranty. Leaving these vehicle at high risk of catching fire due to fuel being expelled from the tank when engine is running.
