FOR THE LAST 1-2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK MY 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN WILL STALL REPEATEDLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, ALL STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING UP, THE PROBLEM STOPS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT FAIL EVER TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DETERMINED OR REPAIRED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC IS RAN (ONE TIME THERE WAS A SMALL EVAP. LEAK BUT ONCE THE IGNITION COIL WAS REPLACED, THE CODE WAS GONE). I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, EVAPORATION CONTROL CANISTER REPLACED, ETC. OFTEN, THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER FILLING UP, BUT THERE IS NO LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE DETECTED.
