| Description of the problem | On friday, october 31, 2014, less than one week after taking delivery of the car (it was new),i was unable to pump gasoline into the fuel tank. Attempts to pump gas directly from pumps at a couple different gas stations (and one time attempting to use the "funnel" provided for filling from a gas can) resulted in the fuel filler neck backing up, dumping fuel on the side of the car and my hand. My car dealer has informed me that they intend to replace the fuel tank to resolve the problem.. The automobile has a cap-less gas filler system. The car was delivered new with a full tank of gas so it appears to have developed the problem after delivery. |
