Consumer Description

VEHICLE ENGINE WILL DIE/STALL WHEN GAS IS FULL, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS OR STOPPING QUICKLY AS IN FOR AN EMERGENCY. SOMETIMES JUST DIES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GAS MOVING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. WHEN VEHICLE DIES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALSO LOST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND IT QUICKLY BECOMES A DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHTS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS WHILE MOVING ALONG A BUSY STREET. VERY DANGEROUS.
