2004 Chrysler Town And Country

MY 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN STALLS EVERYTIME AFTER I GET GAS. I HAVE TRIED FUELING UP WHEN MY TANK IS HALF EMPTY INSTEAD OF CLOSE TO EMPTY AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS AS I DON'T DARE DRIVE FAR AFTER FUELING UP. ONE TIME I WAS TURNING THE CORNER AND MY CAR DIED AND I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE AND ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THE EXTENT OF THE INJURY WOULD BE! I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I GO STRAIGHT HOME AFTER GETTING GAS DUE TO THE SERIOUS OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER I GO HOME AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND USE IT THE NEXT DAY IT DOES NOT STALL. I HAVE TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER FUELING AND RESTARTING IT AND IT STILL STALLS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AS I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT. MY DEALERSHIP IS OUT OF BUSINESS SO I CAN'T EVEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND SO AGGRAVATING AND MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. WHAT CAN I DO AND WHO WILL HELP ME. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM , IT SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED AS OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 8 MONTHS ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE LONGER I HAVE LOST TRACK IT HAS HAPPENED SO OFTEN. I HAVE REALLY COME TO DREAD WHEN I NEED GAS. *TR

AFTER REFILLING THE TANK AT ANY GAS STATION AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS. THE STALL CAN OCCUR ANYTIME FROM RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE RESTART OR UP TO 5 MINUTES AFTER RESTART. THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE GAS STATION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE FIRST NOTICED IN DEC 2010 AND SEVERAL TIMES ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. A WEB SEARCH INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN APPARENT ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK AND "PURGE" VALVE. I FOUND DOZENS & DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. THIS SEEMS TO FIT INTO A SAFETY RECALL CATEGORY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH GAS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FUEL, VAPOR, WATER SEPARATOR THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN EARLY 2006. I'VE PUT UP WITH IT AND NOT LEFT THE GAS STATION UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING PROPERLY. ONCE I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSTATE ENTRANCE RAMP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED WITH A RECALL. SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO REMEMBER WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AFTER GASSING UP. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN. AFTER ALMOST EVERY GAS FILL UP, AS YOU PULL INTO TRAFFIC, WITHIN SECONDS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO STALL, CAUSING IT TO JERK VIOLENTLY WITH THE ENGINE STOPPING. VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AS WE WERE ALMOST IN SEVERAL TRAFFIC CRASHES. WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. VAN WILL EVENTUALLY START AND WILL EVENTUALLY GO, USUALLY SHAKING A FEW SECONDS LONGER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VANS. WAS INFORMED IT IS RELATED TO THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THERE IS NOT A SIMPLE FIX EXCEPT FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A RECALL. LAST INCIDENT AROUND JANUARY 16, 2911. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY STALLS AND DIES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE VAN. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 3YR OLD TO PRESCHOOL TODAY AND IT DIED ON HER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. EVIDENTLY IT IS A COMMON ISSUE, AND THE REPAIR IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN. FOR THE LAST 30,000 MILES EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE ENGINE WILL EITHER GO THROUGH SOME MAJOR HESITATIONS OR IN MANY CASES IT WILL STALL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, OR IF I HAVE TO COME TO A STOP SHORTLY AFTER I REFUELED. THE VAN WILL RESTART, (WITH SOME EFFORT) AND WILL NOT STALL AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT REFUELING. SPOKE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ROLL-OVER SWITCH LOCATED IN THE TANK MAY BE DEFECTIVE, MAY HAVE BEEN SPLASHED/FLOODED WITH FUEL, OR THE TANK WAS OVER FILLED. TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK SINCE THE SWITCH ITSELF IS NOT A SERVICEABLE ITEM. *TR
