I pulled up to the gas pump and could not put gas in my car. It had a little gas in it, but the pump cut off before i could get started. The car has had a problem with the bladder since its inception. I can never fill up the tank. The dealer wants me to pay an elaborate amount to get it fixed. I went out on the internet and other people are having the same problem with not being able to fill up their tank. *tr
