After every fuel fill the vehicle runs rough or stalls. Most times for the first mile then clears up. Almost impossible to pull out in traffic after filling the tank.

Immediately after refueling engine runs rough like a severe misfire condition for several minutes. If a stop is made during this misfire time frame a stall often occurs. Flooring the accelerator often helps "power through" or clear the condition, but not in every occurrence. This occurs every time fuel is added regardless if the tank is filled completely (until pump stops automatically) or partially (pump cut off by vehicle owner). Status of tank at time of fill up also does not have an effect on the occurrence of this problem, it does not matter if the tank is half, one-fourth, or three-fourths full, problem always persists after fueling. This condition is not dependent on weather conditions, current maintenance status, or by which gas station or pump is used at the station. No mil illumination (except with bulb check after stall) and no codes stored to record incident in PCM. No history in PCM to indicate an issue. Suspect this has something to do with evap or fuel vapor system not operating properly after filling gas tank.

Every time when fill up the gas tank the engine will stalled (but you can start up ) will run rough for 4 to 5 miles after that engine will back to normal condition, I have known a lot people have a same problem with there types of vehicles, this does sound like a design flaw. About 75,000 miles it started to stall right after filling up. It is a dangerous situation especially if it stalls in the middle of an intersection or on railroad tracks. Chrysler should recall there types of vehicle.

After refilling the tank at any gas station and restarting the vehicle, it runs rough and stalls. The stall can occur anytime from right after the engine restart or up to 5 minutes after restart. The car has stalled in the gas station on numerous occasions since first noticed in dec 2010 and several times on the road in traffic. A web search indicated that there was an apparent issue with the vehicles fuel tank and "purge" valve. I found dozens & dozens of complaints. This seems to fit into a safety recall category. Please investigate

It seems that after filling the van with fuel the engine wants to hesitate or stall completely. It has always restarted but runs rough for a few seconds after restarting. It always seems to happen after it is refueled. Mechanic did a tune up, reprogrammed the computer and still the same problem exists. It's dangerous as there is a significant loss of steering control. It has happened many times. Today my wife and daughter were in it getting ready to turn across two lanes of traffic and it stalled as they were making the turn.

The first time I come to a stop after filling the van with fuel the engine will die. It has always restarted but runs rough for a few seconds after restarting. It is related to the first stop after refueling whether it is a block away from the station or several miles before I stop. It's dangerous as there is a significant loss of steering control. It has happened many times.
