Saturday, december 22, 2018 - we were returning home after visiting out of town relatives for the winter holidays. The van stalled on us (entire family of four plus one aunt-five people total in our van) in the middle of the road! I was a panicking fearing we could all die that instant! We were very lucky to safetly get the van to the side of the road with the rolling momentium the van still had despite the engine turning off, no power steering, and no power brakes! My wife had been telling me (started about five years ago) that the van randomly stalls while in traffic and I had been researching the issue online continuously when I had free time and remembered the random stalling issue. No trouble codes came up when the van stalled on saturday, december 22, 2018. After reasearching what others have posted online, this issue seems like a class action law suit needs to be filed for it because of the severity of the issue (putting families lives at risk, thats the main purpose of buying a van, to take your family places).

What owners say
My wife had just filled up the van with gas and, while driving down the road, she said she heard some "chimes"...then all power to the van shut off. No power steering, traffic in front and behind her. I see that others on this site have had the same problem after getting gas. The van only has 56,000 miles. I'll be calling chrysler tomorrow. I did get the lifetime powertrain warranty back in 2007 when purchased. I was not pleased to read that the ntsb would not require a recall from chrysler until more evidence ( ie motor vehicle accidents and/or fatalities) occur. My wife no longer feels safe driving the van with our two youngs boys.
The van has stalled a handful of times while mid-turn after being fueled up! This has happened to me and my wife. I just read an article about this happening in our local paper and was shocked that others have had the problem as well. Here is the article: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140909/auto0101/309090093/1361/complaint-leads-to-probe-of-chrysler-minivan-stalling-issue please keep me posted on this issue! This is a very dangerous problem. When the car stalls, everything goes out....no power steering at slow speed around a turn is bad! Thank you!
I was driving and my car just shut off. I had to pull off road no power steering . I didn't touch ignition or anything it just shut off. I pulled over put in park and it did restart has not happened today very scary.
After fill in gas in gas station, drove about 3/4 miles, trying to make a right turn at an intersection, suddenly the car lost power. Engine stopped, no power steering, no brake. Finally the car stopped at the opposite side of the street. After several minutes, turn the engine back on, then everything back to normal.
