Mine did this as well. Next time when pumping gas hold the handle up at an angle and pump it. That fixed it for me.

I'll try that, thanks.

Are you pumping from the same gas station? or does it occur regardless which gas station you use?

Probably due to those awkward CA vapor recovery systems. I've had that problem with wife's Grand Cherokee in CA. Some will hardly pump w/o shutting off every few moments.

"Or do I need a refresher in petroleum transfers? LOL"

Here's a quick refresher:

1. Try to park reasonably close to the pump, and do not operate the pump upside down, like this gentleman:




2. Make sure the pump is removed before driving off:

Hi,

There is a design issue with the flexible fuel hoses inside the Tank which cause difficulty in fueling the Car such as you describe. It is covered in TSB #2015 and requires a modification to the internal Flexible hoses. Hope this helps...

Jim - If I'm not mistaken, they will fix this for free only under warranty - correct? I was reading somewhere that it's not necessarily a cheap fix (but what is?).
