“Car stalls about 1 mile after filling up with gas. Has stalled going low and high speeds, leaving me with very little control of the vehicle .a mechanic recommended that I fill up before its under half full but that doesn't seem to help any. Now I fill up before I go into a nearby grocery store and afterwards I start the car a few times and it seems to prevent it from stalling. Last week my husband decided to drive it to work (long drive) and didn't take my advice during fill up and it stalled shortly after getting on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10566210, filed 2014-02, 115,000 miles“Every time the tank is filled to full this vehicle stalls. At 3/4 fill it does not occur. In light of the chevy cobalt tragedy perhaps a proper investigation into this defect will commence. This isn't a nuisance temporary glitch issue, because whenever a car loses power unexpectedly it should not be considered a nuisance issue. I experienced an engine stall at a high rate of speed entering a freeway just after fueling and my car lost all power. Half-baked suggestions like don't fill the tank full are silly. This is a serious issue that requires a specific repair recommendation.”

The contact stated the failure was occurring again and she had an appointment with the dealer. She was unable to provide a VIN at the time of the complaint. …”
