Problem pumping fuel?
Anyone else have this problem of pulling up to the pump with an empty tank and having it stop pumping after like 5 gallons when you know your tank is empty. It continues to keep clicking and stopping and I don't even know if it's full yet or still needs more and requires a guessing game which can then cause a fuel spill. Really annoying because I'm not sure if its the costco pumps or my fuel tank
Usually there's a problem with the pump when I experience something like that.
Pump may be low on fuel or simply malfunctioning.
I'd say try a different pump or better a different gas station next time that happens.

it's definitely the costco pump, happened to me a couple times. I just hold it down, the pump should shut off when it's full automatically the same way it does when you are not holding on to it.

I had this problem too but when I tried filling more gas, (since it was half full) it overflowed out.
I never figured out the exact reason why this happened but whenever I go back to that gas station, I would avoid that pump. So far I havent had that problem since.

This keeps happening to me 2 times in a row and at the same gas station. I think there's something not right with the car. I did switch to another pump same problem. Has anyone report to Lexus for this issue?

Think this issue has came up too many times...
I never had this type of problem, at any gas station, with any car but this one.
I don't know about you guys... but i'm taking my car to service to have them check it out/warranty the unit.
