| Description of the problem | The gas tanks on these cars are defective.. You have a hard time putting in gas ans then after you do it stalls and putters for about 15 mins after. This is a well known issue -it seems a charcoal filter in these tanks is causing this problem. This is very dangerous-you can stall out in traffic after filling up and get slammed in the back!! Chrysler is well aware of this be refuses to recall. Probably due to cost.. Someone is going to get killed if this issue isn't corrected ! Many times i have started to stall out after filling up with traffic bearing down on me and my family.. Please help us! Thank you! |
