ENGINE STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WHILE FACING SOUTH OR WEST. RECALL DONE ON TRAVEL MODULE NOV 2000. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. REPLACE TRAVEL AND ENGINE MODULES AS WELL AS FUEL PUMP. I HAVE FILED LEMON LAW.

THIS CAR, ALONG WITH OTHER 2001 STRATUS COUPES, HAS AN ANGLE TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE STEERING WHEEL THAT FORCES ONE TO SIT A FEW DEGREES OFF PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THE DRIVER, IF SITTING STRAIGHT ON THE SEAT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF IT IS TURNED TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE CAR A FEW DEGREES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISORIENTING. IT IS IN MY OPINION A HAZARD BECAUSE I AM CONTINUOUSLY FORCED TO TRY TO ADJUST MY POSITION ON THE SEAT IN ORDER TO FEEL AS IF I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD FORWARD.*AK
