| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | After refueling the vehicle will sputter and die causing loss of steering and propulsion. This causes a grave safety problem as it usually occurs while pulling out in an intersection putting the driver and all passengers at risk. This occurs for the first few miles after fueling and does not occur again till the next fill up. I am willing to demonstrate this for a nhtsa inspector if the are willing to investigate this safety issue as i see several others are having the same problem. Just search google. |
