Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While fueling car...gas poured out of car..caused by damaged o ring around fueling nozzle from neck to tank...significant fuel spill...dangerous amount of fuel lost and leaking...have owned several vehicles....never have known this to happen...hazard to area while fueling due to fuel spill. Went to dealership 3 times in order to receive the correct part for replacement. Potential fire hazard-if not explosion capability if ignited while fueling. Perhaps a design flaw in the o ring. Purchased car in 1998,, wonders...should this part have worn out in this manner?”
