Filed Nov 4, 2016 · Fuel system · 115,000 miles · NY

After filling the gas tank, within a few miles the vehicle will stall. Dodge already has extended the warranty on the fuel tank of vehicle built after september 2003 but mine was built august 5 2003 so it is outside their window. This is a very dangerous issue because it has happened to me on the highway at 55 miles an hour and I then have no power and need to get out of the way of traffic that is going to run me over.

After fueling the check engine light is now on and indicates an emissions leak which causes vapors to now build up inside the van after every refueling. If filled to capacity the vehicle will also stutter and sometimes completely stall shortly after fueling.

I went to the gas station and filled my gas tank, not topping it off, and as soon as I turned out of the station on a major road the vehicle stalled and almost resulting in an accident. After a quick restart the van ran fine and I was able to drive from nashville, tn to atlanta, ga with no problems. But when I filled up again in atlanta, right after pulling out of the gas station the vehicle stalled again, in the middle of a busy intersection. This problem is widely reported across dodge and chrysler vans, with over 100 complaints on this website. I'm hoping this issue with the gas tank/sensors will be address. Thank you.

While making left the vehicle stalled while in motion in the middle of major intersection. After a 20 or so seconds, the vehicle engine turned on. Another incident, approximately a year ago, while traveling 60+ miles on major interstate, the vehicle again shut down while in motion. I had to coast the vehicle, with loss of power, to median on the interstate. After about a minute or so, the vehicle turned on. Always upon filling the gas tank, the vehicle stalls while exiting the gas station or shortly thereafter. After a minute, the vehicle is able to turn back on.

For the past four years or so, almost every time after filling up the gas tank, the 2004 dodge grand caravan anniversary edition stalls. I can be just pulling away from the pump when it happens, or stopped at a stop light within a few minutes from leaving the gas station. You can feel the car 'jump' like someone is pressing the gas pedal quickly and it jerks the van a bit forward. Then it stalls. It takes a few turns of the key and pressing the gas pedal very quickly and forcefully to get it started again. I have gotten into the habit of driving the van around a parking lot for a few minutes until it feels back to normal before pulling out into traffic, as I'm concerned it will stall out in the middle of traffic. This only happens right after filling up the gas tank. It concerns me now more than ever since my son is learning how to drive and I want him to be safe.

My front brakes have to be changed every three months , my van will stall or act like its going to stall I have to give it gas and after I move for a few it stops, my van is constantly out of line which wears on the tires ,the metal coolant lines that go for the rear heat was rusted and corroded badly causing a huge leak , also the transmission cooler bracket locates in front of radiator broke causing a hole in the radiator, this has not only happened in my 2004 grand caravan but also in my elderly parents 2004 caravan. After reading through all the complaints I do understand that things will happen and go wrong and have to be fixed but when the dealership or the manufacturer doesn't show any interest in wanting to help the consumer there's not much a person can do that is until someone gets hurt and I can guarantee if it happens to be my family there will be an enormous law suit with a lot of publicity lets see how sales do after I get done.
