Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

Engine stalls or shuts off when driving downhill or on a slight incline with a quarter tank of fuel or less.
Vehicle fails to restart or loses power at low speed, such as pulling out of a driveway or approaching a stop, then requires adding several gallons of gas to run again.
Owners report needing to keep the tank at least half full to avoid stalling, describing the problem as tied to fuel gauge readings near or below one-quarter tank.
Acceleration from a stop is inconsistent on inclines and sometimes on level ground, with the issue persisting for an extended period.
Dealers replaced fuel gaskets, chamber, pump, and sensor in at least one case, but the stalling recurred afterward.
