Engine stalls several minutes after filling up the gas tank. Occurs on every fill up with gas. The stalling stops after being driving a mile to more.
The jeep commonly chokes and dies right after a fill-up. After 30 seconds to a minute, the problem disappears. This has been happening for at least 10 years. Online data search appears to indicate that this is a common problem with jeeps. Having your car die in traffic creates a dangerous situation.
