Consumer Description

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHIN 20 MILES OF COMPLETELY FILLING TANK. AFTER SECOND INCIDENT VEHICLE TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A TUNE-UP, HOWEVER PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHILE ENTERING A PUBLIC PARKING LOT WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FORTUNATELY THE CAR AT LOW SPEED AND ROLLED TO A STOP BEFORE STRIKING ANYTHING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO NO LONGER COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK, GUESSING AT ABOUT 3/4 TANK TO STOP FUELING. PARTIALLY FILLING THE TANK IS NOT A PROPER SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.
