| Description of the problem | Consitently after filling my gas tank, when driving within a quarter mile, the vehicle will hesitate and buck as if it were about to stall. This only happens initially and doesn't happen again until i refuel. However the bucking has becoming more pronounced each time i fill up to the point now that the engine has completely stalled. Thankfully this did not occur while the car was traveling but instead while sitting at a red traffic light. I've read that other people are also experiencing this with their same make/models and it has caused their engines to stall completely while in transit which has caused the steering to lock. This is a safety condition that should be taken seriously before someone gets into a bad accident or worse. |
