Vehicle dies while driving and wile coming to a stop in town. No check engine light. No codes - took it in to the chrysler dealership and they diagnosed a bad fuel tank. The inlet flapper on the fuel tank is defective allowing fuel to overflow the charcoal canister. This is the same problem as the 2005-2006 models that now come with a lifetime warranty on fuel tanks. I called chrysler and they are not willing to work with me to replace it or consume some of the costs, and it is a safety issue. It has dies out in the middle of an intersection over 10 times and wont always re-start. Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes, and other times it starts right back up. I was in the middle of a turn and the car stalled out and I almost hit the vehicle to the right of me. It is very dangerous and needs to be included in the lifetime warranty issued to 2005/2006 models.
