Hello, I currently have a mechanical issue with my 2005 chrysler town & country. If I fill the gas tank up completely, the engine will stall. This poses a safety risk, as a sudden stop on the highway or city roads can turn me into an obstacle and accident risk. Chrysler refuses to repair my vehicle. Upon further investigation, there is a chrysler service bulletin for the exact issue that I'm having. You can view it at the following link: in the document above, it states that it covers mdh 0901xx vehicles built on or after 09/01/2003, or mdh 0331xx vehicles built on or before march 31, 2004. My vehicle is an mdh 0901xx, and it is built after 09/01/2003. I took it to the dealer, and the technician didn't understand what this meant. The mdh format is mmddhh where mm is the month, dd is the day, and hh is the hour. Example: mdh 100819 decodes as: 10 = tenth month (october) 08 = eighth day 19 = nineteenth hour (7 pm) my vehicle's mdh is 0901xx. It was built in 09/2004. And of course, it's having the exact same problem that this the federal safety agency-issued service bulletin addresses. But the dealer technician still refused to service my vehicle. *my vehicle is eligible to be repaired under this warranty extension (15-year/unlimited miles, according to the document above). I can provide you with the door sticker and any other information you need to verify this. Can you please help me schedule my repair at landmark chrysler in springfield, il? Feel free to email me or call me at any time regarding this matter. If I am unable to answer the phone, please leave a voicemail and I will return your call promptly. Thanks, rashmin *dt

After refueling the van stalls at least once but may stall up to three times. The engine surges in RPM before stalling. Restart after a stall can sometimes be difficult. I have let the van idle for several minutes after refueling but it does not stall while stationary. It usually occurs within a minute of operation on the street and generally while pulling out of the gas station lot onto the roadway. Once the car has been driven for a few miles there are no other occurrences of stalling until it is refueled again. The issue used to be infrequent a few years ago but is no occurring after every refueling.

I own a 05 town and country and the electrical system has been failing though the entire vehicle from the radio shorting out, headlights flicking on and off, rear sensors failing, upper display above the mirror gone black where the temp. And miles till empty controls are. On top of that the car is now randomly stalling while driving has me in fear to drive it with my kids. I have read hundreds of reports about this same issue with not only this year but all the way up through 2012. My mechanic has changed the erg valve and many other parts but there has got to be a bigger issue. Cars should not be stalling out while driving. If you look into all the complaints about this specific car stalling randomly you will see that there is a huge issue with this in many years of this car and someone is going to get hurt if they haven't already due to this issue with this specific make and model. I am requesting a full investigation into all the reports on this issue scattering the internet and I hope action is taken to save lives. When the car stalls while driving the power steering and brakes fail and is extremely dangerous

Vehicle stalls out within 30 seconds of filling the gas tank. I don't double click the nozzle. The part causing the problem is the "rollover valve". This is permanently attached to the gas tank. It is allowing raw gas to enter the charcoal canister, not just fumes. The tank must be replaced to correct the problem. I have contacted chrysler. (reference number: 32952411 email case number: 3568281) they say there is no recall or extended warranty for that vehicle.

After getting fuel the vehicle entered street and went a couple hundred feet then it stalled out, this problem happens just about every time fuel is put into the vehicle. I've had several near collisions with being rear ended. The vehicle was in motion on a county street.

Every time I fill up my fuel tank, 1 minute later, when I press on the accelerator, the van stalls. I have to start it again, takes a while but it starts. The van runs fine afterwards. This happens everytime I fill it up with fuel.

Problem started 01/2011 at approximately 100,000 miles.vehicle stalls after filling gas tank. If you fill tank and pump shuts off the vehicle will stall after a couple minutes. Doesn't happen all the time but, about 85% of the time. It stalls anywhere from 1-3 times. It has stalled when I was in traffic driving and when I sit stationary and wait for it to happen before driving. Almost got rear ended on a couple of occasions. Had a repair on it at the dealer on 03/17/2011. They replaced the evap canister. Copy attached. It fixed the problem for about a year and a half and then it came back. I've seen lots of complaints on the internet for the same issue. I've read that the only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank. I can't afford that. For years now I've been sitting at the pump for 5 minutes after fueling or I don't fill the tank all the way up. The stalling is very dangerous because it can happen at any time when stationary, driving and turning. It is very dangerous when driving in traffic and going through intersections. I want to sell my car but, I'm afraid of getting sued if this defect causes an accident. I have not received any information from chrysler for a recall. They really need to look into this common complaint.

Fuel tank multifunction control valve is not operating correctly, so vehicle stalls after refueling. The vehicle stalls after refueling both while stationary or in motion, on city streets and at gas stations. I contacted the manufacturer chrysler and chrysler refused to include my vehicle with the existing recall. I have a second town and country that is included in the recall, and I have attached that recall letter.

My van dies on me while driving after I fill up with gas. Does it every time now. I pull out of the gas station and am in the street and it dies, I restart it after a minute but as I travel further into traffic and slow down behind another car or a light it dies again. It seems to be getting worse each time. I read other complaints for the same thing and that it was a bad part so I called customer service. They said tough, the factory warranty was up. When I asked further they hung up on me. I live on a very windy and hilly road with zero shoulder, just a mild to steep drop off into trees. If I stall in the middle of this road, no oncoming car will see me in time to stop and they can't go onto a non-existant shoulder. It will be worse when snow and ice come. I have kids and no extra car to use. If this is a because of a faulty part shouldn't they fix it or recall it? I am clearly not the only one with this problem. There are tons of people complaining of the exact same thing with the same van. What can I do? On the date below where it asks when did this happen I am putting the last time it happened since I can't put a range of dates.
