2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. SINCE ABOUT 5,000 MILES THE VAN HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT RUMBLING/SQUEALING FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM, MORE PRONOUNCED AT A STOP, BUT ALSO AT LOW TO MID-SPEEDS. THIS PAST WEEKEND, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE ABS RUMBLED SO LOUD THE ENTIRE VAN SHOOK. WE THEN STOPPED THE VAN, PLACED IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR (DRIVE). WHEN THE BRAKES WERE AGAIN APPLIED, THEY WERE ROCK SOLID (NO MOVEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL) THEN THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A TREE VICE AN ON-COMING VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE ROLLED SLIGHTLY UP THE TREE, BROKE THE WHEEL FRAME CONNECTION PIECE, BENT THE SWAY ARM, BUCKLED THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL, AND EXPLODED THE TIRE. VAN CURRENTLY HAS 16K MILES. NO INJURIES. EVENT WAS WITNESSED BY THREE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. BUT WITH THAT TYPE OF HIT ON THE TREE, SHOULDN'T THE AIRBAGS HAVE ALSO DEPLOYED? *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
