Consumer Description

SINCE THIS DATE, AFTER EVERY FILL UP, THE CAR WILL HESITATE, BACKFIRE, AND IN MANY CASES DIE. THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED, AND THEN WILL OPERATE WITH NO DIFFICULTY. ON ONE OCCURRANCE THE BACKFIRE WAS SO PRONOUNCED THAT IT BLEW THE AIR CLEANER OFF, BREAKING ALL OF THE MOUNTING CLIPS. THE CAR MUST BE DRIVEN VERY CAREFULLY AFTER A FILL UP DUE TO THIS CONDITION. YOU CANNOT RELY ON GETTING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC DUE TO THE HESITATION AND FREQUENCY OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN TO THE DODGE DEALER ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION AND THEY CLAIM NO KNOWKLEDGE OF THE ISSUE. I WRITE THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE KENOSHA NEWS, DATED WEDNESDAY MAY 15TH, 2013 WHICH DETAILED 3 CHRYSLER, DODGE BRAND CARS PROBED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY MENTIONED ONLY V8 ENGINES, BUT I WANT TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT THIS ISSUE INCLUDES OTHERS SUCH AS MY 3.3L V6. I AM SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERINECE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
