MY GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE HEATER AND RADIO WENT OFF WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. AT TIMES THE VAN JUST CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC BUT SO FAR I'M ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT THAT I NEEDED TO AN ALTERNATOR. HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED BY B&B AUTOMOTIVE ALONG WITH A TENSIONER. VAN STILL DOING THE SAME THING. ALSO, WHEN THE GAUGES START GOING CRAZY, THEY MAKE A TAPPING/TICKING NOISE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR BECAUSE THE VAN AT TIMES DID NOT START.. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO GERALD'S TIRES AND BRAKES WHO TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. THIS MORNING WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, THE VAN CUT OFF BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY BECAUSE I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. I LIMIT MY TRIPS TO GET GROCERIES OR DO ANY UNNECESSARY DRIVING BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF THE VAN CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC.

2007 TOWN & COUNTRY WITH 9,000 MILES DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 76 IN PHILADELPHIA EXITING AN OFF RAMP AT CONSHOHOCKEN. VAN BEGAN SHAKING THEN IT WAS A SOUND LIKE A POP VAN BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, NOT ABLE TO STEER OR SHIFT ANY GEARS. DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL CAUSING THE VAN TO GO INTO THE OFF RAMP. THERE IS LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VAN BUT DRIVER WAS TOLD BY A WORKER FOR THE PA DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AS WELL AS AN AUTOBODY SHOP & TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT HAD BROKE CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VAN. THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKE IN AT LEAST 3 PLACES AND PART OF THE ENGINE OR MOUNT IS HANGING DOWN NEAR THE WHEEL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND THEREFORE IT IS DRIVER ERA I.E. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED THE MOUNTS TO BREAK INSTEAD OF THE MOUNTS BREAKING CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. DRIVER IS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THE ONLY ACCOUNT IS THE VAN WAS UNABLE TO BE STEERED TO FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE OFF RAMP AND THE VAN WAS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR OR STOPPED. THE VAN CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE OFF RAMP THERE WAS NO CONTROL FOR THE DRIVER. *TR

1DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling
Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly
This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
