| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle new in september of 2007. It currently has ~45,000 miles on it. Within the last year it began to stall after filling up with fuel. It may run for a short time..... Long enough to pull out from the pump and into traffic and then stall. It has always restarted, but on occasion stalls again, or may buck. Fortunately, this has not resulted in an accident so far. For safety reasons, i have begun to let it run for a bit after filling before pulling into traffic. I do not top off the tank once the sensor shuts the pump off. If i shut off the pump before full, it has not stalled. I took it in to the dealership to have it checked out. They claimed not to have encountered this problem before, but i had found online forums where other owners discussed experiencing this problem. According to the dealership, the only remedy was to replace the fuel tank... An expensive proposition. I believe this is due to a design flaw and presents a serious safety concern. |
