AFTER FILLING UP FUEL TANK, AND DRIVING AWAY VEHICLE DIES, ENGINE CUTS OUT AND WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY. THEN ONCE IT STARTS IT WILL CUT OUT AGAIN AND ENGINE STALLS. USUALLY BY THE 3 TIME ENGINE STARTS AND CAR GETS DRIVEN THE PROBLEM OF STALLING GOES AWAY. CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS ONCE I AM DRIVING ON A ROAD WAY.

THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT THE CYLINDERS WERE BUILT TOO SMALL, CAUSING THE VALVES TO STICK, AND THAT WAS CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD HIM TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE LEMON LAW. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT. *AK
