| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | After refueling, vehicle starts up and drives as normal for a short time until reaching the first stop or stoplight, at which point the engine returns to idle. The engine will begin to sputter/weaken (full foot on the gas but reacts as if it is only down 1/4 of the way), the oil light turns on, and then subsequently dies while still in drive. This has happened at least 5 times since this first occurred on jan. 31, 2015. Every time it occurs, it is immediately after refueling, despite using different gas stations and brands. First even occurred while i was turning left from a light into another parking lot. (sputter, then died) another event was while i was idling at a red light. (engine completely died) the most recent event occurred while i was driving 45 mph down the road, and it began to sputter and weaken after then making a right hand turn, upon which i pulled the car over in the road, turned the engine off and then back on again. It would have been incredibly dangerous if i had been on a highway. |
