Owner report 10582902 · 2014-04-15 (April 15, 2014)
WENT AND FILLED UP MY GAS TANK (FILLED IT UP, DID NOT TOP IT OFF). WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY ENGINE TURNED OFF (MUSIC WAS STILL PLAYING, JUST THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF) THIS HAPPENED FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES ON MY WAY HOME. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS RUNNING FINE. IF I ONLY FILL UP MY GAS TANK 1/2 WAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TT

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT'S HAPPENED IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE ROAD. IT CRANKS BACK UP BUT STALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES, COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN. AFTER A FEW OCCURRENCES SOMETIMES EVEN HAPPENING ON THE NEXT DAY OR TWO IT STOPS UNTIL I FILL THE TANK UP AGAIN AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP BUT RESEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME FUEL SYSTEMS USED IN CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP.THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR
