Consumer Description

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE WHERE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MAY 6, 2018 AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND LETTING THE PUMP'S AUTO-SHUTOFF STOP FUELING. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I PULLED OUT INTO A HIGH-SPEED 4 LANE ROAD AND AS I ACCELERATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. AS A RESULT OF THE STALL I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING ABILITY AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY CARS BEHIND ME AS WE ALL EXPECTED ME TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO CRUISING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. AFTER THIS INITIAL STALL, THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WITH EACH ENGINE STALL OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.
