Fuel/Propulsion System · at 78,000 miles · reported Aug 1, 2018
This vehicle's engine will stall multiple times after the fuel tank has been filled to capacity. The stalls occur while idling, and/or when driving and they can happen without warning while in the middle of traffic or in the middle of a turn. This is a well documented problem within online forums (Including youtube) regarding this model of vehicle. This a dangerous problem. I once stalled and was nearly involved in a rear-end collision while trying to merge onto the freeway in this car.
