I PURCHASED THIS 2004 DODGE ON JANUARY 5TH 2015. I WAS TO RETURN ON JANUARY 7TH TO HAVE DIFFERENT TIRES & RIMS INSTALLED. ON THE WAY I STOPPED AND FILLED THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS EVERY STOP SIGN I CAME TO THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT CONTINUED TO STALL AT EVERY STOP SIGN. THE MECHANIC AT REDDING TRUCK & AUTO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE. IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED THE GAS TANK AGAIN AND STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING OUT. SO NOW IF I FILL THE TANK IT WILL STALL OUT UNTIL I DRIVE IT FOR SEVERAL MILES OR UNTIL I RUN SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL THE TANK WHICH IS NOT A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
