Consumer Description

ENGINE STALLED AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, FROM THE GAS STATION WHERE I JUST FILLED UP. AT LATER DATES, IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE BOTH MOVING AND IDLING IN PARK, BUT ALWAYS RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THE CAR WOULD SHUTTER AND STALL FOR THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO. IF I WAS ABLE TO PUNCH THE THROTTLE QUICKLY ENOUGH I COULD SOMETIMES AVOID THE STALL. IF THE CAR STALLED, IT WOULD ALWAYS RESTART AND EVENTUALLY CLEAR UP AFTER RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONCE I REALIZED WHEN AND WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING, I BEGAN STOPPING A GALLON SHORT FROM A FULL TANK WHENEVER FUELING UP. THIS HAS STOPPED THE ISSUE, BUT NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I SEE WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH OTHER DODGE AND CHRYSLER MODELS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DONE FOR THE CALIBER/AVENGER VEHICLE CLASS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR
