When fueling gas, once the pump clicks and stops producing fuel as the car is full, gas gushes out of the tank and onto the side of the car from the opening. The vehicle was stationary, turned off. This does not happen every time, but i would say about 2 out of 5 times fueling. It does this at all different gas stations, there is no specific pump that it does it at.

When backing up the steering, key, and wheel all lock. I was backing up so i was already going very slow. When pressing on the brake the car slows down but still moves very slow until it cant move anymore. I try to jiggle out the key and put the car in lock but i just jiggle everything until something unlocks. It has happened 3 times since i got the car in march 2020.

On september 1st, 2020, i was at a stop and needed to go northbound on a busy intersection. I saw the opportunity to go so i stepped on the gas but my vehicle would barely accelerate which put me in harms way of oncoming traffic. For a moment there i thought i was going to get t-boned. This issue needs to get resolved as soon as possible!
