FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR ONLY 2 WEEKS. BOTH TIMES WHEN WE FILLED UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR WOULD STALL SEVERAL TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND GETTING UP TO SPEED OR AT SPEED. THE CAR WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND WOULD ALWAYS RESTART WHEN PUT IN PARK, BUT THIS CAUSES A SAFETY SITUATION IF WE ARE TURNING, ENTERING A FREEWAY, ETC.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE AND MY DEALER CLAIMS THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER IS BUILDING NEW CARS WITH MODIFIED AIR BAGS WHY CAN SOME OF THOSE PARTS BE USED TO FIX THE OLDER CARS THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO REPAIR?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING TANK AT GAS STATION, ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE TURNING OUT OF STATION. HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT "TOP OFF" TANK, AS IT WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN PULLING AWAY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND ALWAYS MANIFESTS ITSELF AFTER REFULING, OR SOON AFTER. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY VENT VALVE THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED SEPARATE FROM ENTIRE TANK. NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM YET THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL.
