Here's a weird one for ya...

Last three times I've filled up the pump keeps shutting off when I squeeze any more then 10% on the handle. (3 different stations) No, the tank is NOT full!

I have to fill up super slow just barely squeezing the handle.

Silliest question I've ever had to ask, but what gives?

I had that same problem on my dodge...It was a pain in the ass to fill up. I tried taking off the hole spout to see if some jackass stuffed something in there but there wasnt anything. I guess u could try that. or u could spend 15min everytime u fill up...good luck, if u find out whats wrong let me know so i can fix my prob also.

some gas stations pumps are just like that.
also make sure that you have the pump out-put at an angle, like higher, not just stuck in...

Try inserting the nozzle upsidedown while you fill.
