Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME AFTER A GAS FILL UP AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THE WHEEL LOCKS AND THE CAR CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME AFTER I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. I DID RESEARCH AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM (SEE ATTACHED LINK) AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT EXCEPT FOR A NEW TANK. I DO NOT THINK IT'S RIGHT TO NOT RECALL THIS. IT IS EXPENSIVE AND NOT ALL OF US CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT OR BUY A NEW CAR THUS PUTTING OUR LIVES AND INNOCENT DRIVERS' LIVES IN DANGER. PLEASE RECALL THIS. JEEPS ARE INCREDIBLE CARS THAT LAST 200K+ MILES AND I'D HATE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO SERIOUSLY HARM ANYONE. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498
