THE FIRST TIME I COME TO A STOP AFTER FILLING THE VAN WITH FUEL THE ENGINE WILL DIE. IT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED BUT RUNS ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER RESTARTING. IT IS RELATED TO THE FIRST STOP AFTER REFUELING WHETHER IT IS A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE STATION OR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE I STOP. IT'S DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. *TR

IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER IT IS REFUELED. MECHANIC DID A TUNE UP, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS. IT'S DANGEROUS AS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. TODAY MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN IT GETTING READY TO TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED AS THEY WERE MAKING THE TURN. *TR
