“When I fill my tank up with gas, my car will start bucking, often resulting in a stall shortly after. It doesn't matter if it's completely full or if I only put ten dollars in the tank. It is usually when I am slowing down or when I slow and then try to accelerate but never when I'm already slowed down, it's usually when I am going the speed limit it can be anywhere between 30-60mph. …”
NHTSA complaint #11186919, filed 2019-03, 44,000 miles“Two months ago my Jeep started bucking violently when driving after it sat for a month being driven maybe once a week. I refilled the tank with premium and it still didn't help. Took it to the shop and they couldn't find a problem. It stopped doing that for for about two weeks but now it stared doing it again. It does it when I'm am accelerating from a slow down and also once I get up to 60 on the highway”
