| Description of the problem | After filling up with gas twice now it stalls right after i fill up the gas tank. The steering wheel locks and i've been stalled in an intersection that is not safe. I just purchased this used a few weeks ago and was not aware of the problem or i would not have purchased it. It's a fuel tank rollover valve and should have been recalled years ago. The entire fuel tank needs to be replaced which is an expensive job. Should be recalled so people can get it fixed by dealer at the dealer cost. This is not something that happens with normal wear and tear it is a manufactures defect. Why wasn't this recalled years ago. |
