If I do not put gas in VERY slowly, it stops after 3 gallons. This, no matter what, cannot be right. I have read about the "bladder" tank, and I understand why it does this. However, I don't think that filling a tank should be so labor intense. I called the service dept and I was told if it continues, I should bring it in, and the problem will be evaluated. That being said, I love this car, I don't miss my 2003 Pathfinder at all (which I thought I loved) and I will eventually get this issue resolved. I wanted to let you know, however, that this problem is not limited to the 2004 models only, obviously. At first, I was very disturbed about it. But I strongly believe that if there is a certain problem, Toyota will fix it. I'd like to hear more fom anyone out there who can relate. You're not alone, Dale.
