“For the past five years (since 2009), my 2004 Chrysler town & country van wants to die soon after every time that is filled with gas (no matter the octane type). The problem most typically resolves itself after 5 minutes or so, but in the interim there have been numerous close calls as the van loses function with the power trying to die. I have ended up learning to drive with the car in neutral and coast while revving the van. Or better yet at a stop light race the engine with the car in neutral (I see nothing bad that can happen with this solution!!). …”

No ability to move out of traffic, etc., eventually completely stalled. The car started hard, but restarted and I could drive out of harms way.
