ENGINE STALLS EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS HAPPENS ONLY ONCE PER FILL UP AND ONLY AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION AND ENTERING THE ADJACENT ROADWAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AND NO POWER TO STEER AND PULL OFF THE ROAD TO RE-START. RE-STARTING CAN TAKE A WHILE TO ACHIEVE IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT APPARENTLY REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK? WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS IT IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS FAILURE? *KB

ENGINE STALLS FIVE MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER A FILL-UP. THE STALL CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE ROOT CAUSE IS DUE TO A FAILURE OF A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PASS GASOLINE VAPORS TO THE EVAP CANISTER WHEN FUEL IS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK. DURING A COMPLETE FILL-UP OF THE FUEL TANK, LIQUID GASOLINE IS PASSING THRU THE DEFECTIVE VALVE INTO THE EVAP CANISTER. WHEN THE EVAP CANISTER IS PURGED, LIQUID FUEL IS SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY RICH FUEL/AIR MIXTURE. THE RICH MIXTURE CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA FUEL PRESENT IN THE MANIFOLD. *TR

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
