Default Fuel fill issues

Has anyone else noticed that it's a PITA to fill the gas tank in this car or is there something wrong with mine? I have to click through about 50 shut-offs before it's full. Have tried every possible location for the nozzle--deep, shallow, tilt left, right, up, down etc., and it still clicks off after 10 seconds or so. I'm about to take it in, but wonder if anybody else commonly has the same issues.

Same here, no problems, 2018 SQ5. You might have a problem with your filler tube or evap canister.

No problem either, and I do not recall a thread on here where this has been an issue.

No problem with my 2018 Q5. One thing I will add is that when the fill nozzle clicks off, the tank is FULL. If I try to "top it off," it flows over.

Kinda. At about 15,000 miles on my '18 Q5, I noticed the filled/miles-to-go went from always being 525, to 490 to 475 to 465. Since I check every tank/mileage I was looking for a fall off in mileage also, but didn't notice any. One fill up with a different reading could just be an anomaly, but 3 might be something wrong. As it turned out, I traded in that car on a SQ, so I really didn't have a chance to do any more checking.

Sounds like more a gas station pump issue (kicks out too easily). My local station has one pump in the row of 3 that I go to that always causes me that pain. Annoying!

You would get a check engine light if there was a break in the filler line causing the pump to trip. Whenever I have that issue on any car, it is the pump used as I won't have that problem again unless I use that same nozzle. No issues on mine though.
