“I filled the tank and the vehcile stalled several times the next few miles. Especially after right turns, like when merging onto freeways. This happens now every time when I fill the tank. Very dangerous. From web forums I understand gas is getting sucked into the evap system because a check valve at the gas-filler neck doesn't work. What a pain! I replaced the evap solenoid, that didn't help...the problem at the gas tank filler-neck check valve.”

NHTSA complaint #10512029, filed 2013-05, 175,000 miles

“I had this happen several times after I would fill up with gas. At about 30mph or when I would come to a stop and then try to accellerate the car would stall and cut off. Would then try and restart the car after several attempts it would finially restart. Sometimes when I would reach speeds of 55mph it would cut off and I would have to steer with the best of my ability to pull to the side of the highway. Finially I just took it to the Chrysler dealer and had them put a new evap canister on it and new trottle something on it 600+ dollars.”

This caused too much current to flow to 2 smaller 16 gauge grounding wires attached to the rear of each hemi cylinder head to fry. This directly affects the ccn bus communications to the cpu. Any device, module, or sensor attached to the ccn bus can have intermittent behavior. Examples of very bad behavior in my car: 1. The alarm randomly going off while parked or when driving the car. 2. …”

“After filling up at the gas station the car stalled 3-4 times before beginning to surge. After several minutes of stalling/surging, it was fine. It does it every time the car is filled now.”
