This happened to me last week. I was worried about having to diagnose the problem for about a week until I tried a different pump at that same gas station. Filled my tank up without any problem. Stations have faulty equipment too.
The 07/08 Jeep Wrangler has that problem.
SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 14-001-13
GROUP: Fuel System
DATE: January 30, 2013
SUBJECT:
Fuel Spit Back During Refueling (X47 Lifetime Warranty Extension)
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves replacing the fuel tube at the fuel tank. This new fuel tube has a check valve.
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
NOTE: This Extended Warranty Bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 3.8L engine (sales code EGT) built before March 1, 2007 (MDH0301XX) and after March 31, 2008 (MDH 0331XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some customers may experience a fuel spit back condition during a refueling event.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the customer experiences the symptom/condition, proceed to the repair procedure.
NOTE: Vehicles included in this Service Bulletin have a lifetime coverage warranty for this repair.
Thanks for that info! Was the issue a lack of the check valve in the original tank?
Don't really know. I had to take my wrangler every year because of it.
first gen lx vehicles 300, charger, magnum had a stalling issue related to the evap system and FCA ended up giving a lifetime warranty on the tank.
Ancient History wouldn't trust anyone that can't spell vehicle.
06 jeep tj. Happens every time.
I really hope you make it as a full time youtuber!!! I love how easy you are to watch and your content is VERY easy to follow. good luck Charles and keep up the awesome content.
If you are always filling up to automatic pump cut-off, a flooded charcoal canister would be my first guess. Simple fix: don't fill past ~90% full for a while.
my sister has an 03 camry and has never had that issue and she has prob top her gas off 100's and 100's of times since the 14 years she has owned that car. maybe some car manufacturers just manufacturer their cars better than others....
Always topped off my odyssey since new. Never had any problems.
The camry is a very reliable car. My 2001 camry has never had any major issues except a flat battery.
My mustang ecoboost manual specifically says do not fill pass 2 shut offs. In other words. Fill til shut off then fill a bit more til it clicks then no more
Only video I found that addresses this problem. Thank you!
Chrysler has an issue with the roll over check valves sticking open. Jeeps has a huge problem with this. They recommend replacing the tank because the check valve is "part of" the tank. I have been able to repair them without doing the tank. Saves people money!
Nick how did you repair it?
What are you doing to fix the valve? Just curious
Gotta love my '68 pickup truck. 👍👍 Two barrel carb and no emission, testing, passing or inspections. But it does get 8mpg on a good day. 😒
This is a very common problem with Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep vehicles. It is pretty easy to find forums of Jeep owners that have this issue. Replacing all these parts won't necessarily fix the issue, as many jeep owners report. It's likely a manufacturer/design issue for that era of vehicles
Jeep wranglers, some of the smaller jeeps (I can't remember their names), but never the cherokees.
The aspen, and some larger suvs, but not the pickups.
The Durangos are the worst. They spit out the most fuel, and are the hardest to avoid besides filling up completely.
Source: I work at a gas station right now.
This is literally happening to my truck right now! It has been for the past 3 months and nobody has been able to diagnose it until now!
Only started for me after Ram had a recall (over fuel tank straps) that the dealer took care of... %$@#!!
Never ever had this problem with any of my cars ever... but yet again I live in Europe and it's either pay the mortgage or fill up the tank 😂😂😂
yeah the "10 gallons = $20" bit was the shocker!
I have this exact same problem on my 2008 Chrysler Town and County. It spews even more than in this video and slowing the rate of fill can get me past it, but it will literally take me 15 minutes to fill the 20 gallon tank! Not only is this time consuming, but I cannot use the lowest lock setting on the gas nozzle handle, so I have to baby it and tend to it the whole time it is being filled. This issue came up suddenly and happens about 90% of the time now. Also just a few weeks ago my check engine light came on and the code was P 0456 (ECM detects a very small leak in the evaporative system). I haven't gotten under the vehicle to diagnose, yet, but this video is a great start for what is probably going to be a lengthy process. Thanks for the tips. Very much appreciated.
I’ve replaced a couple of Routan gas tanks over the years for that.
My 98 Nissan pumps slowly and does this if you try to pump fast, but I already did all the emissions stuff. I did notice that in most other towns with different sea level heights it will pump completely fine.
A lot of these newer style pumps are known to have issues.
I have a diesel that has no evap system, no vents, literally like pouring into an open tank. Diesel pumps usually won't shut off until it's flowing out the spout.
I used to own a '66 Ford Galaxie with the same style tank, the gas pumps did the same thing.
Didn't matter if it was held wide open, or going as slow as could be.
You just became a hell of a lot cooler, in my eyes, by helping out the TSP community! Thanks dude. :)
+Iam D lol thanks man. I'm honored to be able to give something back to an amazing community.
this happens to me too smh & today the fuel spilled all up my arm🤦🏽♀️
had a very similar Dodge Ram issue before and ended up being a pinched shut vapor line on the top of the tank not being ran back through its depressed channel and then made worst by the seriously over torqued hanger bolts deforming the tank.
Have same problem with my 07 Jeep Liberty. Supposed to be a common and according to the forum. Jeep is aware and can't or won't fix it. Some guys have replaced the tank and inlet only to spend a fortune and have the same problem. Only thing that works for me is to fill as slow as you can. Hope you have better luck!
Many Libertys have that problem.

Looking this up for my 2006 liberty! Lol
I bought a truck off my friend. I went to go put gas in and within $2 going into the tank it turned the handle off and sprayed gas out like in the video. I had to pump $1 at a time for $50 😅 my tank was almost empty (was sitting on the red line) when I opened the tank a bunch of air came rushing out so I definitely have a vapor lock somewhere and this video is definitely going to help me
I have a 2009 problem. Changed all the canisters. It spills out i slowly gas up. Been doing that since 85,000 miles on it. I still have the it has 250,000 still have the same problem. I think there has to be something in relation to the gas tank. Well i keep driving it. It has other problems as well. It starts when it wants to. But whatever its my 2nd car my work car.
I just had a new fuel tank put into a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it's only been filled twice since then. Both times, it overflowed...looks like the same amount in this video. It never did that with the other tank, or in our Buick either. I can't help but feel it's related, I'm just hoping it's not actually a valve within the tank. It has a warranty, but I don't want to pay for another repair. I'm already up to 1400 in this vehicle this summer. Some people tell me to get rid of it now, but I've only had it since June. My brother left it to me before he passed away and I guess I'm not ready to let go of it. It actually ran better before the mechanic started working on it. He suggested a new timing belt...then screwed that up and " fixed " it to make it better, but it's still not running as well as it did before the timing belt change. It still bucks once in awhile and the check engine light keeps coming on. Two other things it didn't do before it's initial " checkup " with the shop.
My solution is to fill up the tank to about 5 gallons before full. Then stop. Let it sit for 30 seconds. Fill it up slowly for 2 gallons, stop, sit 30 seconds, 2 gallons, 30 seconds, repeat until full.
I've used this a few times with no gas at all coming back out.
I've worked at a gas station in NJ (No self serve state) and all of these spewing out gas problems is a real headache.
It spews at at 1st gallon sometime
I’m in jersey and my Nissan is doing this what I do is leave the car running and it will stop pumping but won’t spill gas unless the car is off it’s fucking annoying but expensive to fix from my mechanic apparently he quoted 600$ to change a evap canister and i cannot afford that atm
In the past i worked in a gas station and saw this on a regular basis. one thing that fixed some of the the customers " Before you activate the pump put the handle in the tank and try to use it a few times" sometimes when a previous customer tops off the end up flooding the censer or check valve trying to get up to that full dollar amount. this worked 16 years ago so take that with a grain of salt.
it's a recall on Dodge's the pressure relief on the filler is faulty happens to my moms Durango all the time take it to the dealer and have that recall fixed
Hmm I'm sure I'm past the recall but did the new filler neck fix you mom's ride. I'm going through the same thing?
Something I noticed:
This only occurs at certain pumps. For me the only pumps I have tested that this doesn't happen are the Shell and QuikTrip gas stations. Murphy, Costco, Valero and 7-Eleven seems to make it spew though.
Oh wow, I've never seen that happen before. Great video as always Charles!🤙🏽
Thank you!
From looking at his video he is using the second notch on the pump handle. I recommend using the first. It will fill slower, however it will be less likely to overflow. My wife had an 06 Pontiac Vibe with this problem. Using the slower setting solved the issue.
From my experience, and judging by the amount of fuel that came out, even the slowest setting will have a lot of fuel coming out for the videos example.
If there are some not so bad problems, slower speeds will "correct" the issue.
Same with a lot of GMs, they like to stop early, the worst ones will still stop at the slow speeds, but the better ones will work just fine with the slow speeds.
Interesting that I have this exact same year make and model of truck and have the exact same issue. I have not read through all of the comments yet, but it will be interesting to see what the issue was.
Thanks yeezus! This is exactly what happened to me. Good stuff :)
Hey Charles I had one that had a pinched vent hose. Its a pretty big hose and easy to see. It runs right along the filler neck.
Thanks for the insight John. I hope the dude asking the question has something easy like that wrong. But I think when they replaced the one hose, they would have seen that? Maybe?
I have the same problem. I've been figuring how much gas i need to fill up and take it off of autofill a gallon before full and slowly pump to full. My theory is that the nozzle shape doesn't fit down the filter neck far enough.
I have a Dodge Ram 2008. There was a service recall on my truck a few months ago and they replaced a pressure valve for free.
Thanks for watching everyone! I also recommend you check out The Survival Podcast. Even if you think that it's not your thing. I started listening years and years ago. I can tell you 100% for sure, if not for the community at TSP, there would be no Humble Mechanic show.
I replaced my evap can and it still does this. Will look at the lines again. Add too it randomly dies after refueling. No check engine light or codes...
This is what my Honda CR-V is doing but it doesn’t end. Like I could go out there right now, take off gas cap and it would start spewing out. It’s in the shop right now. $119 JUST to diagnose it. One thing I’ve noticed is no flapper valve door (little silver flap you know). Not sure if that’s cause.
I used to work at a gas station and normally when I ran into vehicle with that issue, I monitor it to hear when its coming up then I unclick the nozzle quickly and do the rest of the filling process slow. it worked, but as a side mechanic things I've figured which could cause that issue are air in the fuel system, pinched lines, clogged lines especially the return lines and a dented tank.
2015 Mazda 5 does the same thing. I’ll have to follow those steps. I’ve not tired yet because like Charles said it’s not so easy on a small car. Need to figure it out though because my daughter is going to have to start filling it up herself…
many vehicles today especially pickups have a hose in hose venting system which allows tank vapor to exit the tank neck as you fill the tank. It will regurgitate if you over fill the tank.
So I had code p045 and said fuel neck ..clean it n replace the vapor canister. Still will not gas up. Check the the lines for kinks.
Theres a TSB for this issue, on some Chrysler vehicles. Calls to replace the entire fuel tank.
No shock there. Does it go into detail about the issue? Or is it like many others. "blah blah blah, there is a possible issue. Replace all the parts." LOL
Ya I think it was one of those without much detail lol, It was a couple years ago so I cant remember too much.
I know it was 3.5L jeep liberty
You can actually test all of this with a smoke machine and a vacuum gauge. Likely a vent valve problem. Check for codes for say a vent valve problem
have a geo the vent is at top of filler . station nozzle rubber disc blocks vent if u turnnozzle upside down don't spill also some pumps fill too fast varies at same station from pump to pump.
I have a 2008 Ram 1500 that did exactly the same thing.
I have a 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport, and Limited edition, and it too has same issue, unfortunately like he said everywhere I go, I have to purchase a new Full gas tank of 1k Dollars..For the gas tank it self, I learned to go to a quarter of a tank and put..30 in it, and call it a day and leave it to the next owners..issue. I can live with it.
My Audi B7 A4 would stop about 15 times while I was fueling. Start it up and a couple seconds later auto stop. Turns out the charcoal canister was completely clogged up. Previous owner probably kept overfilling. Could easily be a charcoal canister.
This happens with my ‘05 f250 every time I put gas in it. It backs up as soon as the filler tube is full which leads me to believe there is some sort of filter screen or baffle that’s restricting flow. I also smell fuel all the time.😭
Yo me too same vehicle. Same problem. Any new updates on how to fix it?
My 99 Nissan maxima ran beautifully til last week. I took it to Murphys and put 91 octane in, which it calls for. I’ve alternated between 87 and 91 and never had a problem, and believe previous owners did the same. This time however, when I opened the gas cap, the sound of vapor or air exiting came out and then I filled with the 91 and fuel came out when I was done. Since then I’ve had some knocking. I’m not sure if there’s a clog or I should switch octane types…. HELP
It's a Chrysler. Were we expecting anything less from them?
You need to tell someone not to smoke around gasoline? No, no no.... survival of the fittest.
actually nothing in a lit cigarette held in the hand can light petrol, only if it is dropped and sparks.
Amen brother hahaha
MOE . i had a 1982 RAM 3/4 ton. the tube from the filler neck top ran all most horizontal to the tank. the best fix i found was setting the nozzle at the top or bottom of the tube. cant remember which. and dont stick the nozzle to far in.
yeah I say he just has a major problem with the vent being clogged and the air can't go nowhere so that's why it does that and doesn't matter when he fills up it still does same thing need figure what is clogging up or what is or where at that should Fix the problem can always smoke test and figure if it's clogged anywhere or if it is
07 Ram was recalled for this mine was one of them. It always spewed, before the recall. They replaced the filler neck.
+grant wright that's solve the issues?
yes that resolved it.
Thanks and yep your right I've been filling the tank to get the even amount
my 2005 Dodge Durango Limited did the same thing. My local Dodge dealer changed the vent check valve and a clogged hose. Didn't cost me anything they did it under an extended warranty/ TSB.
now that I think of it. they had to change the entire tank. valve was built in.
Trai Harblin i feel sorry for them. thats a huge job.
took them about 6 hours
My 2001 f350 7.3L has this problem and the fuel from the backup tank is extremely slow to fill up with I flip switch valve
do you have a vido on how how to fix this issue ?
I find I get this issue on my jeep, beginning of the summer it's fine, after being on several high angles it starts puking when I fill it, unless the last 5L or so is filled dead slow. I always figured it was the high angles produced by being off road that fills the evap canister. After parking it all winter it's usually fine for a bit.
Idiot at autozone tried telling me I'm not supposed to force fuel had no clue what I meant . THIS is exactly my issue. Thank u sir. Let me go educate this dude.
seams like a vent problem forcing fuel back up the tube my truck would do it only when i filled it from e it would make the pump kick off as well
while you are filling you are causing, what amounts to, a bow wave of fuel in the tank due to the force of that fuel coming out of the nozzle physically pushing the fuel to the far side of the tank. While still filling there's no problem, but once you shut offthat fuel that was being forced over there *points* no longer has the force pushing it so it comes back to level off. Unfortunately, when it gets to the filler neck you have an inch high x the width of the tank worth of fuel and you get the "tidal wave effect" where, because of the sudden restriction, the velocity of the fuel increases in that small space and....sploosh, all over your nice suede shoes.
I learned that one in my first year when, as a first year apprentice and saturday morning jobs would be grease the trucks, check the wheel nut torques on every truck with a 5 feet long, solid torque wrench! ( easy now, but as a weedy 17 year old it took its toll) and i would top the tanks of all the trucks in the yard and end up with a blue puddle in front of the diesel pumps until a second year apprentice told me to stop pumping when the sound changed note and then pump small amount until full.I hated saturday morning jobs at that stage...the only good thing to come out of it was i got to drive some very cool tackle and that bit i loved
PS...baffled tanks don't do it...for obvious reasons
We have older Rams spewing fuel back at people, today I diagnosed a brand new 2020 Ram with an EVAP leak. Plastic EVAP nozzle snapped off the fuel pump leaving some of it still in the hose. How? No idea as all these components sit between the top of the fuel tank under the bed. FCA makes some pretty shit vehicles.
If the problem is severe enough to cause a spew that bad already, i wouldn't even try just filling it slowly. That indicates that there's a problem, and letting said problem sit and happen can cause more damage in the long run. I always fill on the slower fuel fill nozzle lock position because it stirs just a little less fuel and I can cram just that extra little bit that's not returned to the station's evap system as vapor. At least, that's my mental process. I've found that i can fill the tank on a couple of bucks less on average doing it that way than going full bore all the time. Either way, his paint job is probably suffering. I feel for him. tank replacements aren't fun. I wish him the best.
Wouldn't this issue fall under the emissions warranty? They are typically 8 year / 80,000 miles. I'm asking since it could be an EVAP issue.
Robert Steich exactly what i was thinking possibly a vent valve issue?
Robert Steich the extended emissions warranty only covers 2 things that I know of. computers(pcm, ecu), and catalytic converters
Filling the tank slower is the best idea and I'll take it a little farther. Listen and feel the pump. You can hear and feel when the pump is about to shut off. One of my pet peeves is when people lock the pump and walk away or sit back down in the car.
my 82 k10 doesn't vent fast enough for the new pumps so I just pump slower and it dose just fine tho it would help if I relocated the vent from the side to the top of the metal piece of my filler neck so my vent tube doesn't fill with gas
I have this problem with my Jeep Patriot. It's the rollover valve in the tank and it sticks. This one valve causes all sorts of problems depending on which way it sticks. In one direction, it closes the air vent causing fuel fill issues like in this video. If it sticks the other way, it causes an engine stalling issue right after filling the tank as the raw fuel gets sucked through the canister purge valve. Rather than spend $400 on a new tank, I'm just going to add a new bulk head fitting to the tank and Tee it into the existing filler neck vent line. I've already added a catch can to the line between the canister purge and the engine to stop the stalling. And yes, I am aware this bypasses the "rollover" function, but if the thing is sticking open anyway due to Chryslers poor design, it's already broken anyway.
I have an 08 wrangler and this fuel spray is crazy, I have learned to catch it b4 it happens,but it happens every fuel up. I just have to catch it in time or else it comes out forcefully like this guys. Just today I was filling fast and got distracted, not a pretty site. I want to just fix it , but don't want to just throw parts at it. for now though I just listen and stop b4 the auto shut off, check my gauge then fill really slow till my gauges is touching full.
My 2007 Durango has done this for years. I just know how much gas my tank takes to fill at various levels and never let it completely fill to shut off the station pump.
Older cars tend to spit fuel, my 55 does. But the reason it does is because modern fuels tend to get super foamy when ajitated, even worse if the tank is empty and warm as well as fuel with Ethanol tend to vaporize quickly, cold gas in the ground going into a hot tank. I don't run into the problem with non-Ethanol fuel and just fill my tank really slow or surge fill , go fast then go slow fast then slow, listen to the sound of the fuel going in, if you can hear it in the fuel neck slow down. My assumption is that there is foamy build up in the tank that causes liquid fuel to stay trapped in the fuel neck, once the pump shuts off the trapped fuel has no choice but to be spit back out.
charcoal canister is bad or the evap solenoid valve is stuck closed
I have a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. It spews gas way more than in your video. :-( I've been putting up with it for a couple of years now. It takes about 15 minutes to put 20 gallons in the van. I can put in about a half gallon at a time. Then I have to wait ten seconds for it to settle. If I don't, there is geyser of gas that shoots out. Pretty sure what you have said is my issue. Need to check the evap system. Also, I get an error code on my dash that says "gascap" every so often. I know gas cap is sealing fine, but there must be some kind of pressure sensor triggering this. Need to get to this soon. Very frustrating.
Great video mate. LED flashlights only for fuel tank inspection kids ! haha
Fuel tank sounds like my fuel pump. Whole thing has to be replaced when a valve goes bad.
First off, your YT name is awesome. LOL and yea sucks the valves are integrated into the tank like that. It's either a cost thing, or a government mandated thing. Either way it means more $$$ for us to replace it.
I mean more money for the customer/owner btw.
Had the same problem with my Durango. They ended up changing the entire filling tube. Something they knew was defective.
I bet that is what the dealer replaced for the guy asking the question.
My 11’ ram does same thing
Me too
My 2010 Ram 1500 does this too. Such a pain.
I had this problem with a hyundai Santa fe at the dealership and there was a kink in a hose. The only way to fix it was a new tank because the hose didn't come by itself.
New ranks?! May I ask what that price tag was?
@@seasonseven422 I have no idea how much it was. I just did the work on the ro.
I believe it was a used tank so that may have made it cheaper
@@stormfur19 oh
When I try and put fuel in the charcoal canister takes it spills it on the ground,Why is fuel going to charcoal canister?
I have 2 days going on 3. I dropped the tank twice. Blew air through every line replaced charcoal canister vent valve purge valve and blew air through the line to the front of the engine of course disconnected and blew air through the fill tubes and return vapor tubes and everything is clear but every time I pump gas it spills a lot of fuel, my next thought is that tank might be issue I even knocked off the door that lets the glass in thinking it was the problem
also I'd bet filling up more frequently would help, can only imagine going from an empty tank to full would spit back more fuel than 3/4 to full would.
but in that situation, going from 1/4 to half will save weight
Hey Conrad,
I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty, and sometime it the gas appears to overflow, but I mostly fill the car half tank. I see this is becoming a problem and I am not sure if your hit on it. I would like to know if you have any advice.
A slow rate of filling don't help. It takes about 30 minutes to fill my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with 5.7. As soon as you start pumping it cuts the pump off. It's a recall but Dodge doesn't consider it an official recall.
It is a factory defect on Dodge just like the water rail under the windshield. Park your Dodge with the nose upwards & the water fills your floor board. So if it rains park with the nose downward. I replace the heather core thinking it was that but it still does it. Same here. It's a recall but Dodge doesn't consider it an official recall.
Dodge SUCKS.I will never buy another 1.
This is still going on with my Nissan Titan every time I go to put gas , I switched the gas pump and the vent valve and has fixed nothing
Any update ?
My frontier does this....
INTERCEPTOR MÉXICO nope still doing the same thing
woulnt not filling to the top not cause this
Yep. I added this as text toward the end. I was editing and was like "Charles, you're and idiot. Just don't fill it" LOL
hi Charles.. yeah sometimes the obvious solution doesn't appear in your head until much later
That was about when i made the comment so i didnt see it ops :D
yes this same exact issue that happens to me with my jeep jk 4 door on fast or slow and just like him it happens about 80% of the time. it has gotten to the point where i just leave the key in the ignition and watch the needle so i know when it is full and can stop it b4 it spills every where
I'm having the same issue I have 2005 Chevy Impala , was u able to pump gas in better while u left the engine running while filling up
well if you own a 73-87 chevy truck your used to this... lol the filler neck is at a wierd angle and all of them do this, some screw up in the design
My 06 Ford Focus does this every time I fill up. No matter how slow I pump it, when it’s full, it shoots out. Gonna crawl under it one day and figure it out.
I had the same problem in my 2008 Dodge ram 1500. After $2500 later the dealership found what the problem was. it was the seal where the filler neck gas tank meet. so I had to replace the gas tank. after they install the new gas tank I haven't had any problems
My 2005 Chevrolet Colorado has this gas issue. I need help.
i had few chrysler gas tank check valve stuck and a bad gauge "customer had his gauge at 1/4 tank and he/she was complaining she can only put few liters and it will spew back. turn out the tank is so full"
Man I'd be pissed if this happened to me. Thanks for the knowledge as always 👍
Glad to do it. Thanks for the support
Going through it now after spending $600 for a fuel.pump..go back because this happened...they replaced the charcoal...still doing it. Now I'm into $800...and not fixed
I have a 2006 ml350 and ended I turn it on, I have approx 5 SECONDS TO SWITCH IT INTO GEAR, otherwise the gear locks up in Park and I have to turn my car off and then back on. The Mercedes mechanic didn't know
Is it bad for a vehicle if some gas comes out of the tank like that one did but not as much
Maybe the vent valve.
I had a worse situation than this, it was a hot day like 42 or something, i was using my hiace 2006 to travel between jobs, and while trying to put petrol into my van as soon as i oppened the tank cap, it sucked alot of air then it squirted gasoline out like a hose, it sprayed all over me i ended up in hospital, so what I'm trying to understand is what has happened here, where is the issue ?
I hate when a few drops come out of the nozzle after filling, let alone a volcanic eruption from the filler neck!
nice!
I have the same problem on my 2004 ram 1500 HEMI please help me
In all my years of working on cars I have never seen a pukey fuel tank. Usually the vent valve plugs up and you just can't properly fill. Takes 3 weeks to fill the tank 😖😤
It happened to me in an 84 Caprice twice in the last few years at Citgo stations. Maybe their pumps work too fast for that older car even at the slowest setting.
It's happening in my 06 F150
Mine just started doing this 🤦♀️
My 2011 ram 1500 does the same thing! So frustrating.
