| Description of the problem | I have taken this vehicle to the dealership 11 times in the last 2 1/2 years trying to fix an issue where i randomly cannot put fuel in the car. The nozzles click off as if the tank is full, usually after pumping a few gallons. The dealership says they have replaced every single piece of the fuel system, but it continues to have issues and they're not sure why. Sometimes it works fine; sometimes pumping gas slowly helps and i'm able to fill up; sometimes nothing i do works and i have to drive off and try again another day. The check engine light has only come on once, with the first repair attempt in 2013. Since then, there are no warning lights, just the inability to pump gas. I've tracked mileage to make sure it's not just an issue with the fuel gauge showing as being emptier than it really is. Unless this suv is getting 60+ mpg, it's not the gauge. I generally start attempting to fill up when i get down to half a tank of gas, because i never know how much gas i'll be able to put into the vehicle at a time. |
