Consumer Description
AFTER I REFUEL, WHETHER IT'S 10 GAL. OR TOP IT OFF, THE TRUCK WILL STALL EVERYTIME AS I DRIVE JUST THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES(MAYBE AS SOON AS 100 YARDS OR UP TO 10-12 MILES OR SO). IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A STOP, LIKE AT A RED LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEED MAKING A TURN. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP, NOT ALWAYS EASILY THOUGH. OF COURSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A COUPLE OF DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE MAKING A TURN AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER IT'S STALLED SEVERAL (4-5) TIMES, IT SEEMS TO RECOVER UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN AND WE START ALL OVER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO FINALLY FIX THIS RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST 40,000 OR SO MILES. IT NOW HAS 65,000 MILES AND THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURS WITH EVERY SINGLE REFUEL.
