I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A DESIGN OR MATERIAL FLAW BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR I HAVE MAY PROBLEMS WITH ENTERING FUEL IN MY VEHICLE. IT TAKES AT LEAST 20 MINUTES TO FILL THE GAS TANK. I PUMP KEEP SHUTTING OFF AFTER PUTTING AT LEAST .50 IN. I CALLED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT OF COURSE THERE IS NOT ONE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW I CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARD TO THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I SUGGEST NO ONE TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. *TR
