“Upon completely filling the fuel tank, the engine repeatedly stalls after I've driven it for a few minutes. It doesn't matter if I'm on the freeway or in the middle of an intersection trying to make a turn, the engine just dies. This issue has the potential to create a very hazardous if not life threatening situation.”
