“I bought my 2018 Frontier with 40k miles on it back in april 2018. I now have about 56k miles on it. Over the last couple of months it got harder and harder to put gas in it and for a month now it shuts off multiple times and or spits gas out when I try to fill it. Yes, while filling the tank the gas pump will shut off and gas will spit out of the filler tube and spill onto the ground! Took it to my local dealer and assumed it would be fixed under warranty not knowing anything about this common issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180604, filed 2019-02, 55,000 miles“After 6 months of owning this new vehicle, when pumping gas it would cut off when beginning to pump thought it was a fluke but it happens everytime,took it to dealer they replace a bunch of parts after first fill up it was ok the second fill up this morning took 10minutes to get 10 gallons in to it I will call dealer today”
