| For the past 5 years, the engine has died when there is less than 5 gal. of gas in the tank and i'm driving downhill. the car dies at the bottom. i shift into park and the car starts right up. i've ask two dealerships about the problem. they don't know what is causing this to happen and don't want to start replacing parts until they are sure what is causing it. the result of this is that it hasn't been fixed and i just gave up. have you had any reports of this happening and if so, what is the solution. i don't mind having it fixed but it is hard to pin down. it can create a problem when the engine dies and you lose power steering and brakes.*ak | |||
