Gas can be empty and when you attempt to fill up tank it shuts off as if tank is full. Spent $400.15 on 10/25/13 for fuel vapor control valve yonder dealer thought this might be causing it. This worked for few weeks then it began again but seemed to let us fill it up if we drove for a few miles before attempting to fill up the gas tank. Now it doesn't matter how far we drive the car the gas will not pump into the tank it can take us up to 30 minutes to pump a few gallons of gas. The Honda dealer is as much of a loss as to what is causing this to take place. The car has not been involved in any accidents and is causing extreme stress as to how and what it will take to get the gas to pump correctly.

Vtm-4 light and check engine light illuminating. Was told that gas cap being loose may cause this to happen but I have been ensuring that it is properly seated every time I refil the vehicle.
