AFTER REFUELING, VEHICLE STARTS UP AND DRIVES AS NORMAL FOR A SHORT TIME UNTIL REACHING THE FIRST STOP OR STOPLIGHT, AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE RETURNS TO IDLE. THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO SPUTTER/WEAKEN (FULL FOOT ON THE GAS BUT REACTS AS IF IT IS ONLY DOWN 1/4 OF THE WAY), THE OIL LIGHT TURNS ON, AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY DIES WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURRED ON JAN. 31, 2015. EVERY TIME IT OCCURS, IT IS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, DESPITE USING DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND BRANDS. FIRST EVEN OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A LIGHT INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT. (SPUTTER, THEN DIED) ANOTHER EVENT WAS WHILE I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT. (ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED) THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN THE ROAD, AND IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND WEAKEN AFTER THEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, UPON WHICH I PULLED THE CAR OVER IN THE ROAD, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY.
