After each and every vehicle fueling, the vehicle stalls several times causing loss of steering and brakes. This is dangerous and unsafe as this scenario happened to me at an intersection and at a turn nearly causing me to have an accident.

Engine Stall After Refueling
This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.the federal safety agency evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, the federal safety agency has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize the federal safety agency's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300

What 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
After almost every fill up vehicle stalls when going down road. After researching the problem I found the vapor/liquid separator valve is defective. Evidently this is a common problem and a safety issue in my opinion. To be driving down the road and your vehicles shut down is dangerous. Why does the manufacturer not have a recall on this problem.
After filling the fuel tank the vehicle stalls, and sputters when pulling into traffic, and driving down the road for up to 1 minute
Car stalls and sometimes dies after refueling. This always happens after pulling onto road into traffic. So far I have avoided being hit by another car! This has been happening for a long time. Dealer says replace fuel tank,poor design.
Within minutes of fueling, the engine will stall causing a loss of steering and brakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge grand caravan. On several occasions, the vehicle stalled after being filled with fuel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vapor liquid separator valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred six times. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. ....updated 08/29/16 *bf updated 08/31/16.
Stalling after refueling when I fill up my gas tank, almost immediately afterward pulling out of the gas station my van sputters, misses, hesitates, call it what you will. The past couple of times the engine has actually stalled as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge grand caravan. While slowing down the vehicle to stop, the vehicle shut down without warning. The vehicle restarted, but the failure recurred several times. The vehicle restarted after each failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The failure mileage was 74,000.
Shortly after fueling van it stalls steering wheel locks up and I loose all power. This has happened a number of times including being on busy roadways, when I loose full control of my vehicle. Every incidence has also happened when I have had my three children in the van.I have researched and this is a very well known problem. Why has something not been done? Do my children and I have to be killed in an automobile accident.
After refueling the car will stall for short period. This is extremely dangerous as it may stall while pulling into he roadway. The federal safety agency worked with dodge on other models to extend the warranty to lifetime. My vehicle has the same issue and the repair is to replace the fuel tank at a cost in excess of $700. Dodge should have redesigned the fuel system to correct this issue as the same issue was lifetime warranties in prior year models.
