What owners report

VACUUM SEAL ON GAS TANK IS FAULTY AND GETS AIR BUBBLES AND THE CAR CUTS OFF AT RANDOM. IT CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION YESTERDAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES. SEVERAL OTHER ONES WERE RECALLED BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER BUT IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
