    Dodge durango 2008 with hemi 5.7 l engine stalls at low speeds after i fill up the gas tank. This happens every time i fill up the tank now.

    While pulling into a parking space at low speed while cranking the steering wheel, the engine just shut off. I had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the other cars.
