Vehicle will stall while parked causing a strong odor of gasoline. Takes several minutes of sitting with vehicle off before it will start again. The vehicle has also done this while coming to a stop. This vehicle has 41000 miles on it and continues to do this. It is used for law enforcement agency. I am required to respond to calls and this hinders response times to calls as well as emergent responses. The dealership has looked at the issue and blamed it on fuel having water in the fuel. They have replaced several items involving the fuel system. This has not solved the problem. Bob Ruwarts has not given an answer.
