2007 Dodge Caravan: engine stalls while driving

Filed Mar 13, 2019 · Fuel system · 128,000 miles · ND

After filling up my gas tank I drove away from the fuel place, and I was at a green light making a left turn and during the left turn my van stalled!! Another time after this, directly after filling up gas I was idling at a red light not far from where I fueled up, when my van surged forward! This is apparently an "extended warranty" up to the 2005 dodge caravan for a faulty vapour/liquid separator valve that is built into the gas tank. I contacted dodge and they said that because my van was a 2007 not a 2005 that they couldn't recall it. This is so extremely dangerous and unbelievable that they won't extend this warranty.had someone been coming when I was turning left and my van stalled I would've been t-boned. All of this occurred on a city street.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caravan. While driving 35 MPH, there was a strong exhaust odor and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (putman chrysler jeep dodge, 3 california dr., burlingame, ca 94010) where it was diagnosed that the catalytic converter failed. The vehicle was repaired. After the vehicle was repaired, the contact would become sleepy while driving. The contact believed this was due to carbon monoxide entering the vehicle. She also stated that the floorboard was very hot to the touch. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The failure mileage was 128,000. The VIN was not available.

I have the same problem of intermittently stalling that others report after fueling. It comes and goes.

Minivan stalls soon after refueling. This has happened several times, always within 1/2 mile from refueling.

Vehicle hesitates and stalls immediately after a complete fill-up. This could cause a dangerous condition in heavy traffic. Similar symptoms to a 2005 chrysler town & country I had which was recalled for a defective fuel tank sensor.

Vehicle would stall after every fuel fill up at stop lights or slowing down to park.now vehicle stalls at highway speeds and loses all power.I brought it back to dodge dealer when it was new and they said there was nothing wrong.now after doing research online people are having there fuel tanks replaced because of a roll over valve that's a permanent part of the fuel tank.after each fill the roll over cuts fuel off from the fuel pump causing the car to stall.the dealer wants almost $1200.00 dollars for the part plus $500.00 dollars labor.this problem has been going on with other dodge vehicle's having the same problem and they were recalled and fuel tanks replaced.I feel that this is a very serious issue that should be addressed. Thank you

Van sputters/stalls after refueling.

Everytime we fill up the car it stalls and dies when you drive away. The problem only happens when you fill up the car. The scariest time it cut out and stalled we had just filled up. We were at a stoplight turning left. You have to yield to the oncoming traffic (which has the right of way) which is traveling 55 MPH. We pulled out to turn left the car died. And the oncoming traffic had to lock up there brakes and swerve to avoid hitting my family and I. We have been filling only half way up in gas tank around town. Which is really annoying. We just took a road trip and it was necessary to fill up all the way to make sure we had enough gas in between towns. We would have to get gas only were we could easily hop on and off the freeway. It would die as we pull out of the gas station. I would restart and drive away. It would than be fine on freeway. Once up to speed. This is a huge safety issue for obvious reasons. I hope that someone will figure out the root cause of this issue and no one gets injured from it. I called dodge who said they had no reported issues of this problem. Please get to the bottom of this asap before someone gets hurt.

After refueling our 2007 dodge grand caravan, it stalled after going less than a mile. We were making a turn at the time. We lost power steering since the engine stalled & the check oil light came on. We were able to get it to the side of the road. After turning it off for a little while, we got it to restart but after driving less than a mile & turning again, it stalled again. This has been happening after refueling off & on for the past six months. Once we were in an intersection & it happened. Thank goodness we got it restarted & out of the intersection. It was a very scary situation. We brought it to a dodge dealership & they had never heard of the problem & didn't find anything wrong with it. We just don't know what we are to do at this point. I'm scared to drive it myself let alone let my 15 year old drive it with her learner's permit.

Vehicle sputters and stalls after filling tank with gas. This only happens when filling the tank full. It happens so frequently that we only fill up at gas stations that are off of side streets. That way when it stalls it's not in a main intersection. My mechanic said he has to replace the whole tank to fix the problem and said it's quite common. It's roughly $1000 in part's and labor.
