After filling the gas tank on my van, it stalls a couple minutes later after pulling out onto the highway, this has happened the last 2 times it was filled. I takes a few tries to get it to restart. Both times I have almost been rear ended. This is a very dangerous problem. I read where this has been a problem on other year chrysler vans and now its happening to mine.

While driving at night, headlights would turn off while driving. The headlight switch went bad and my model was made after november 30, 2005 (see tsb 08-052-12 dated 8/25/12). Big safety concern. Neither chrysler nor the dealer would honor the lifetime guarantee of fixing the headlight switch. Cost me $110 to fix.

Problem: stalling and sputtering after refueling engine type: 3.3 liter start of problem noticed: approximately 2011-2012 service completed: chrysler/dodge dealer and third party engine light associated with problem: egr valve service provided: 2 new egr valves, a evap canister, gas cap, ignition coil and new fuel pump within seconds after fueling my vehicle, the vehicle sputters and sometimes stalls. Initially there was no engine light associated with problem. Vehicle primarily stalls in intersections local streets) due to stalling occurring at start up creating significant safety hazard. After initial stalling (up to 4 times in one incident) and sputtering, vehicle returns to normal operation. Heavy acceleration helps with preventing stalling. The problem has progressed and now the engine light turns on and the vehicle sputters at various time (local streets and highways); even while traveling at highway speeds. I was never informed by "certified mechanics" of the issue or advised on how to fix the problem. I stumbled across information via google search regarding failure of the vapor/liquid separator in the gas tank dating back to at least 2012. I understand the federal safety agency has completed the investigation. Concerns: 1. Chrysler has failed to notify consumers of a known issue 2. Chrysler/dodge dealers seem to be unaware of issue 3. Unknown if stalling may occur at highway speeds causing loss of control 4. Stalling has occurred in intersections 5. It is unclear if there are any deaths or serious bodily injuries associated with this issue because it is unclear if this cause has been investigated in traffic homicides across the united states. Further investigation should be completed. Chrysler/dodge or any other affected vehicle should have to at a minimum notify consumer of danger involved.

The van is stalling immediately after refueling. It initially starts, and then when I pull out and stop at the intersection it dies. It is necessary to keep the gas pedal mashed as I am trying to restart it or it just keeps dying as soon as the engine turns over. Once it restarts, I have to keep the gas pedal pushed down while it idles roughly for a minute or so and then it evens out and has no further problems until I refuel again. I have read this is a common problem on 2204-2007 chrysler vans that requires replacing the whole gas tank to replace the vapor/fluid separator valve causing the problem.

My 2006 chrysler town and country minivan stalls shortly after fueling. It has happened several times when I have pulled out of a gas station and start to accelerate on a main road. One time I pulled out and the van stalled in the middle of a high speed road. A tractor trailer had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid rear ending me. I had my two children in the van with me. It happens after I refuel the van and start to accelerate. I've found other complaints online about the same issue. They say it is a faulty gas/liquid seperator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. When it goes bad, fuel gets sucked up into the charcoal canister for the emmisions and that is what causes the van to stall. Chrysler is aware of the problem. It is a safety issue when your vehicle stalls out when you are trying to merge into high speed traffic. My understanding is that the entire gas tank needs to be replaced because that liquid/gas seperator valve is part of the gas tank. This should be a safety recall. When I call chrysler to file a complaint, the guy told me that the 3.4l chrysler vans were recalled for this exact reason but since I had a 3.8l engine I did not qualify. I don't understand why an engine size would make a difference if the problem is with a faulty valve in the gas tank and the gas tank is the same on both vehicles. Can someone explain this to me please? Chrysler has already set the prcedence on the recall and they need to broaden it to all vehicles with this same gas tank valve issue before someone gets killed.

Truck stalls after refueling without warning ! This is a safety issue occurred in traffic with loss of power brakes and steering with a young driver at the wheel . While exiting a state highway with a near collision from the rear! This should be recalled by chrysler ! Before someone is killed .
