“I came across the NHTSA action number dp14002 when looking for internet info about other problems with the 2006 Grand Caravan. The NHTSA summary describes an ongoing problem that we have with this mini-van: if you completely fill the fuel tank you are quite likely to have the vehicle stall within the first quarter-mile of driving. I am sorry see that this action has been closed!”
NHTSA complaint #10748979, filed 2015-08, 25,000 miles“After filling the gas tank with gasoline, the car will often stall temporarily after traveling approximately 1/4 mile. This has happened numerous times, but the car has always restarted. I thought that I was using a poor brand of gasoline, but I just received notice of a recall for sticking fuel fill valve on my other vehicle, which has never (to my knowledge) experienced this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10593433, filed 2014-05, 91,000 miles“I was picking up a machine in georgia, and I had to stop and get gas. I filled up with gas drove onto the turnpike and the car stalled and a truck almost hit my car as my car was coasting to get it off the highway. He hit his brakes and squealed up to my vehicle. This situation could kill someone and I read hundreds of complaints from people online. This happens on every fill up since.”
NHTSA complaint #10667437, filed 2014-12, 126,400 miles“Refueled vehicle normally. Drove 1 mile, while turning corner the engine stalled completely, steering became sluggish. This has happening approximately 50% of the time after we refuel the caravan. It is extremely dangerous as we lose control of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10676348, filed 2015-01, 135,000 miles“Every time I fill up the the van dies or runs poorly for a few minutes. I is alway in traffic when it dies. I fill up and pull out into the road and it dies. Starts back at once but it is very dangerous”
