| Description of the problem | Shortly after filling up the gas tank on 3 separate occasions, i could drive my car about 1/4 mile and the whole engine shuts off. This only happens when the tank is completely full. The car shudders and stalls repeatedly right after fill up. Once a small amount of gas is used the car seems to run fine but the stalling happens at idle. At a red light, stop sign, or when speeds are reduced to turn. It is very dangerous to know your car can shut off randomly, had to drive on highway and main roads with hazard lights on for fear of not knowing when it would stall again. Mechanics looked at all wiring and parts under hood of car and could not find anything. The only thing in common with the 3 stalls was that i had just filled the gas tank up completely. It seems chrysler has knowledge of this with other cars, minivans etc. Many jeep owners have complained about this exact issue on a jeep forum. Options seem to be: don't fill up completely, or replace the gas tank, which is costly. |
