Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“There is gasoline leaking from under the car in the area of the gas tank/lines. There is also a strong gasoline smell inside vehicle. I notice the smell more when the vehicle is stationary and obviously the leak on the ground when parked. I don't know what to take a picture of exactly, if you want I can send you a picture of a stain on the ground.”

NHTSA complaint #11034580, filed 2017-10, 75,000 miles

“Van has started stalling out after filling the tank. It usually stalls shortly after leaving that station while speeding up after a turn. So far it hasn't completely died but I have to rev the engine to keep it running. I have found several complains on-line that say the repair is to completely replace the fuel tank and canister the same as the repair for the 300, the magnum and the charger.”

“Was driving through an intersection (after stopped at a red light) and vehicle shut off in the middle of intersection with no warning. Also, for months now, the lights and gauges in dashboard have flickered on and off while driving... We took it to dealer and they re-set the computer but it didn't resolve the light flickering issue. We have replaced the alternator and also had the battery checked.”

“Fuel tank multifunction control valve is not operating correctly, so vehicle stalls after refueling. The vehicle stalls after refueling both while stationary or in motion, on city streets and at gas stations. I contacted the manufacturer Chrysler and Chrysler refused to include my vehicle with the existing recall. I have a second Town And Country that is included in the recall, and I have attached that recall letter.”

NHTSA complaint #10904406, filed 2016-09, 139,000 miles

“Every time I fill up my fuel tank, 1 minute later, when I press on the accelerator, the van stalls. I have to start it again, takes a while but it starts. The van runs fine afterwards. This happens everytime I fill it up with fuel.”
