| Description of the problem | For several months, the car stalls after refueling and only after refueling. Once fuel is put in (and not "topped off" just regular filling up), the car will start but will stall several times in the first few miles driven. When it stalls, the steering wheel locks and it's very dangerous, especially when this happens on the highway. In looking at jeep forums, it seems to be a pervasive issue with jeep and chryslers and it was suggested that it's a problem with the fuel/vapor valve in the fuel tank. There is no current recall on this. I've had a the fuel pump and the fuel canister both replaced. This happens when moving only after refueling. After it stalls and i restart 3-4 times, it runs fine until i refuel again. As for when this happened, it last happened yesterday (1/6/16), but it happens each and every time i refuel. |
