Hi all,

We have a 2013 Srt Gts

Anyone ever experience after putting gas in, the car would lose power, the engine light would flash and to fix it you need to turn the vehicle off and restart it?

This happens if I stay in 4th gear 3-4RPM for more than 2 min. The dealer said originally it was bad gas. So I used 0% Ethanol premium. The car ran great no issues. Went added more gas from the same station and boom it happened again.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks!

If it's happened twice from the same station, obviously stop buying there.

Are you shutting the car off during refueling?

Also, it'll take it, but are you hanging it steady state @ 3500 in 4th gear just cruising there?

Try to buy your gas from busy stations so that you dont end up with a "old" gas that has been sitting in the tank for weeks. There may also be water in the gas. Have you tried filling up at other stations to see if the problem continues?
