Complaint Summary
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Owner Narrative
ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, AFTER FILLING THE GASOLINE TANK, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED. YESTERDAY, I FILLED THE TANK. AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, I AVOIDED "OVERFILLING" IT. APPROXIMATELY 3 OR 4 MILES LATER, I MADE A RIGH TURN AT LOW SPEED TO ENTER A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING AND STRUGGLED TO GET IT TURNED SAFELY. AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T CRANK, BUT EVENTUALLY I DID GET THE TRUCK RESTARTED. I CONDUCTED SOME BUSINESS, THEN WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT TO HEAD HOME. AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET IT TO RESTART. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, I KNOW OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING.
