Through out this year I have attempted to fill my gas tank several times and the hose keeps tripping off after a couple seconds. I can't put more than two or three gallons in my car and it takes forever to do that. Gas runs out of the tank on to the side of the car and the tires. This past summer I had the acura dealer repair the problem. They could not determine a solution. I paid about $150.00.

My car makes a grinding noise and vibrates when I am accelerating and hit 30-35 MPH.
When ever we try to fill our car we get about 1/2 of a gallon of gas and the gas pump stops and gas goes down the side of the car.
I have attempted to fill my gas tank several times and the hose keeps tripping off after a couple seconds. I can't put more than two or three gallons in my car and it takes forever to do that. Gas runs out of the tank on to the side of the car and the tires. I called acura and they said there is no recall for this issue and that they can't do anything about it.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 acura mdx. The contact stated that when he attempted to pump gas, the fuel will spill out which was similar to the failure in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 04v541000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly). The dealer and manufacturer were informed who advised the contact that his vehicle was not included in this recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 80,000. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
I own a 2004 acura mdx with approx. 58,000 mi. The problem I'm experiencing is when ever I try to fuel the vehicle it either stops automatically after about 0.2 gal or it overflows onto the body and tires also after about0.2 gal. I noticed it about 6-8 weeks ago, so I started going to a different gas station where it would fill without problems, but just in the last week, it does it all the time no matter what gas station I go to. I feel this to be a safety hazard due to the fact any fuel spill is hazardous, let alone if it spills onto the rear tire when the breaks are hot on a hot summer day and I just got out of a traffic jam where I was constantly having to break. All though I've read many complaints of this same problem with other mdx owners on various on-line forums, acura has yet to make a recall for this and fix the problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 acura mdx. While refueling the vehicle gasoline began to spill out of the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the filler neck was replaced. The failure continued to recur so the vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where the orvr wall was replaced. Approximately 3 months later the failure began to recur and the vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where he was informed that the replacement of the orvr wall failed. The orvr wall was again replaced. Approximately 4 months later the failure began to recur. The authorized dealer was notified and he was advised to replace the entire fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000 and the current mileage was 95,000.
Intermittently for about 3 months, gas would be pumped as usual. After a few seconds, the gas would gush back out. Or, only a couple dollars of gas could be pumped before the auto-shut off stopped the gas flow. You try again, and it would auto-shut off again. Major fire and safety hazard. Dealer replaced entire gas tank to fix problem, but charged customer for labor.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 acura mdx. The contact was refueling the vehicle as gasoline began to spill from the fuel tank. The dealer replaced the filler neck yet the failure recurred. The dealer then replaced the on-board refueling vapor recovery (orvr) wall. Within three months, the failure had recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was advised that the replacement of the orvr wall had failed. The orvr wall was replaced a second time but to no avail. The dealer then advised replacing the entire fuel tank. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000 and the current mileage was 95,000.
