Engine stalls and dies after filling up car. Usually dies 4 times than no more problems until i fill the car up again. I have worked with my mechanic for almost 1 year trying to find the problem. The solutions so far is to not fill the tank up all the way. Car complaints.com show that nhtsa is investigating these complaints. Says that you have closed the investigation and found the problem to be the fuel shut-off…

After filling my car at the gas station, car would stall during acceleration immediately filling gas tank. It would choke or try to cut off when approaching a stop light or stop sign. Sometimes eventually shutting off in the middle of road, requiring multiple key turns to get vehicle started again.

As i was driving across the desert on i-10 in arizona, all of a sudden my car lost all engine power. The lights on the dash chimed, my rpms dropped to zero, then just as suddenly they all went right back to normal and the engine jerked us forward as the tranny figured out what gear it belonged in. It started like that, only happening on occasion. Now, i can't make it more than 1-2 miles (literally) without stalling…

Once i pulled up to the light, the car then stalled out. On a…

I have the car at cerritos dodge in cerritos, ca and they indicate that there is no extension and want $2200.00 to repair. Chrysler doesn't admit to any extension as well. Please help!…

After filling up my gas tank with fuel i drove my car about 16 miles and it stalled out, i put it in neutral and it did start back up.
