Chrysler Aspen stalling problems

Filed May 7, 2024 · Fuel system · NC

When adding fuel, there is a splash back and gasoline spews out and onto who ever is fueling the vehicle. Then when you start the car and drive a few minutes, the car will stall. This vehicle is available for inspection opon request. This issue puts many people in danger. The fueler getting splashed with gasoline, absorbs fuel into their skin, and also the smell of the fumes when entering back into the vehicle. The fueler also now has a very combustible liquid on them. Which is a fire hazard. Also gas spilling is horrible for the enviroment. When stalling, that creates a very hazardous enviroment for everyone in the vehicle, as well as the vehicles around them. A wreck could easily occur because of this issue. The issue has not been inspected by a dealer yet. No warning lamps or messages appeared. And i am uncertain of when the problem began.

After filling up the gas tank the vehicle shuts off while driving causing it to lose braking and power steering. The vehicle also shuts off while at a stand still. This only happens after filling up the gas tank and seemed to be caused by a faulty fuel tank rollover valve that is built into the gas tank so it cant be changed. The whole fuel tank has to be changed and the fuel tank is no longer available anywhere. I'm forced to drive a ticking time bomb because there is no way to fix this problem that should be a recall.

Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up the fuel tank. The vehicle gives no check engine light or provides any obd codes to pinpoint the problem. The vehicle stalls both while in motion and when stationary, when in motion all power assist is lost including the power steering and braking assist. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle now after nearly getting into a traffic collision when the vehicle stalled while driving through an intersection and she lost all power assist with our two children in the vehicle. The vehicle will sometimes immediately restart and run for a short period of time then stall again or will just crank and fail to start. This problem only seems to occur after fueling up and topping off the fuel tank. Once the fuel tank burns off some of the fuel it seems to run just fine.

2008 chrysler aspen stalls for approximately first 5 miles after refueling. Mil illuminates (codes are for p0455 and p0456) then clears by itself after a few days. After researching, I have discovered that the problem is the orvr valve malfunction, this is documented numerous times on many websites throughout the internet. This leads to the evap canister malfunctioning (http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1006&context=auto_pres). This is not only a failure of the emission control system, but also a safety concern since the vehicle stalls, which it always does when slowing or stopping after fill-up. Because the vehicle will lose power steering and power brake ability, I can no longer let my wife or children operate this vehicle as it has become a safety concern. This vehicle and other related vehicles (dodge durango, ram 1500, and others) should be recalled at once to have this issue addressed before injuries occur, if in fact they already haven't. This has been happening the my vehicle since december 2016 but has last happened in march 2018 (now).

After filling the fuel tank, the motor shuts off while driving down the road. It used to only happen when you go past the first "click" of the gas pump. Today it did it by just filling the tank to first shut off. This leaves you with no steering, no brakes and no power while going down the road. This is dangerous on several levels. This happened while the vehicle was moving down a four lane road in moderate traffic with five passengers-two infants, two children and one adult.
