| Description of the problem | Car cannot be filled with gas more than 7/8 of the tank. When filled full, the engine sputters and car start to stall/shake violently, engine loses power and engine light comes on and then engine shuts down by itself. After engine shuts down all lights on the dash board lit up and need to turn off car. This happens on both city road and highway driving soon after filling the tank. Almost caused an accident on the highway as i could pull fast enough onto the shoulder and get out of the way from other cars behind me on the highway driving at 60 miles/hour. After this happens, i had three options. Get a tow track and pull the car of the streets, drive the car on the highway at speeds no more than 25-35 miles/hour using the manual paddle shifters, or wait at least one hour on the side of the road after this happens and then drive the car with the engine light on. This happened twice and since than i am not putting gas more than 7/8 of the tank. |
