Description of the problem	Filling the fuel tank the gas pump shut off thinking the tank was full when if fact the fuel gauge showed it wasn't full, i proceeded to fill the tank again and it took an additional 2 gal. Before it registered full, i did this two other times and the same thing occurred, in addition i would drive approximately 60miles and the fuel gauge would show that i used approximately 4-5gal of gas? This is a 4 cly. I took it to the dealer and they encountered the same problem, they replaced the fuel filler valve and that didn't help, then they replaced the fuel pump, that didn't help, i'm scheduled to go to the dealer again. Something is not calibrated to the fuel gauge, i don't get a reasonable reading of how much fuel i have and i want to top off once. I purchased the 2012 in feb. 2013 as a certified pre-own.
