FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS 1-3 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP. IT WILL DIE AT LOW SPEEDS OR IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAS EVEN DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROUNDABOUT) THIS SEEMS TO. BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES WITH THE 5.7 LITER V-8 (SUCH AS MINE). I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, DID A LITTLE DIGGING AND FOUND OUT THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HAZARD AND I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG GASOLINE SMELL KEPT GETTING WORSE IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED. INTERNET SEARCH LEAD TO INVESTIGATION OF FUEL PUMPS UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT. REAR SEAT WAS REMOVED AND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WAS VISIBLY PRESENT DIRECTLY UNDER PASSENGER REAR SEAT. IT APPEARS FUEL PUMP LEAKING IS DUE TO CRACK ON FUEL PUMP NIPPLE. I ALLOW THIS INFORMATION TO BE SHARED TO THE PUBLIC.
