“After filling the gas tank on my van, it stalls a couple minutes later after pulling out onto the highway, this has happened the last 2 times it was filled. I takes a few tries to get it to restart. Both times I have almost been rear ended. This is a very dangerous problem. I read where this has been a problem on other year Chrysler vans and now its happening to mine.”
NHTSA complaint #11165728, filed 2019-01, 58,500 miles“During the first incident, I lost all power to my engine, most of my gauges, and my power steering while driving 35 MPH. I pulled my car over to the side of the road and it wouldn't restart immediately. The dealership had my car for aprox. 5 days and couldn't find anything wrong. About a month later, the car stalled the same as before, except this time it was right after I started the engine and began pulling up the driveway. Aprox. …”
NHTSA complaint #10388608, filed 2011-03, 38,100 miles“After a fill up and driving a short distance, the engine sputtered and stalled while sitting at a stop light. This happened 2 or 3 other times right after filling the tank completely full and then driving the vehicle a short distance to the first intersection. What I discovered is that I can no longer fill the tank until the gas pump automatically shuts off. This is a hazard and potentially life threatening defect. From what I can gather, the problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank.”
NHTSA complaint #10637950, filed 2014-09, 121,031 miles“I had just filled up the gas tank and was departing a gas station. It was a large parking lot, so I was accelerating to merge onto us-19 in homossassa springs, fl and the engine stalled completely. Luckily, we had not exited the gas station parking lot and I was able to steer out of traffic and come to a complete stop. This has happened multiple times since the first occurrence, without injury, or accident. Ever since the third occurrence and a review of online literature, we never completely fill up the gas tank anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #10644339, filed 2014-10, 158,212 miles“My family stopped and got gas on our way down to north carolina for christmas. As we left the gas station and pulled across traffic our 2006 Chrysler Town And Country began to shutter and stalled. After that day, every time we fill up the same thing occurs. I have looked over many sites on the internet and see that there not only many others that have had this same dangerous issue, but it is not just on this model of Chrysler. The only way to repair it is to have Chrysler install a brand new gas tank. …”
