Description of the problem	I had this car serviced at the dealer on tuesday and it drove fine, i filled the fuel tank at the same station i have been using for over a year. And drove home(1-1/2mi) the next day after about 10 miles the car began to miss and the engine died i restarted it and drove about 1/2 mile and it died again i drove to the dealer and left the car to be checked. I was told the fuel tank had been over filled and that the same three system components (less than a year ago i had the same problem) required change at over $700. I do not top off the tank, and have been extremely watchful that it is not topped off since the first incident. This is a safety hazard had i been in the left lane. The power steering and power brake fail with the engine not running . I think a safety recall should be started before a death. I see many reports of the same problem with the spectra. This may be caused by the driver or not ( i did not and do not top of the fuel tank). But the problem seems to be a flaw in the fuel vapor system on this car.
