Default Issue when fueling car

Hello all - I'm having an issue when I fuel my car - I believe a breather hole/tube is plugged, as I can't get the pump to dispense fuel into the tank without creating a air gap myself between the sleeve on the pump handle and the tank filler. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know a good way to resolve it?

It's a known defect in the filler neck. If still under warranty, the dealer will replace it.

Check with your dealer anyway. Half a chance they’ll replace it for free since it was a known manufacturing defect. Somebody on the forum probably has the TSB number you can cite to the dealer.
