Frequently after filling up with gas at costco, the van stalls, especially while I am going around a turn. It has come close to causing an accident but I have been able to put it in neutral and get it started quickly enough to avoid getting rear-ended. Very strange and annoying.
2007 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I fill up my van, the vehicle will start however after a few minutes and I am on the highway the car completely shuts off. Have had to several mechanics look at the van, and no one knows what the issue is. I try to ride around the gas station parking lot to insure the van is going to run because I have had several close calls when the vehicle shuts down when I am trying to cross traffic. I will then have no brakes, power steering, etc. The van shuts completely off. I usually able to restart the vehicle. This is a very unsafe issue.
This is a defect petition filed pursuant to 49 u.s.c. 30162. Our 2007 grand caravan sxt has about 44,000 miles on it and it has begun stalling after refueling. This only happens when the fuel tank is refueled to full capacity. The problem started about a month ago. Today, my wife (with kids in car) stalled on the highway. The danger was that she was on a turn and the steering wheel became impossible for her to turn it. This is a major safety issue, and my hope is that chrysler makes good on a defective part. (I see they did that after a gov't investigation of a similar nature for other cars...after an investigation by the federal safety agency!) ***this is a widespread issue for vehicles from 2004 to 2013. See thread below for reference; http://en.allexperts.com/q/chrysler-repair-807/f/stalling-refueling.htm
Vehicle stalls immediately after filling gas tank completely. I let pump turn off automatically and do not overfill. Has happened repeatedly in traffic and is dangerous. After a few miles, no more stalling or sputtering. Lots of reports of this problem with dodge/chrysler vehicles online but company claims no knowledge of problem. Fix is to replace fuel tank and attached parts.
I just completed filling up my vehicle with regular gasoline. About 100 yards from the filling station, my van stuttered and stalled. It does this every time I fill it up. It stalled in the middle of an intersection. I did some research and it looks like it is the result of a failed component of the emissions system and a pretty common problem with chrysler/dodge vans.

Everytime I fuel my dgc, after I start up, the engine will sputter and stall out, even out in traffic. I have put it in park, restart (it restarts rough), and then rev the engine a few times to work out sputters and roughness.
Recurring issue of engine stalling after refueling. Usually within 5 minutes of filling, and when driving slowly. Internet search indicates this is a rampant problem, not only with caravans, but with other chrysler/dodge vehicles. Apparently the entire gas tank requires replacement, which indicates to me it is a design flaw and should be recalled.
After filling up the fuel tank, the car dies while driving a few minutes later. Dealership said the fuel tank needed to be replaced and charged me $766.55. The called it a non serviceable check valve in the fuel tank which allows liquid fuel into evaporate line after reaching a certain level. Once the vehicle is started the PCM purges the evaporate system to burn the vapors and exposure the catalyst warm up system. At this time the liquid fuel in the evaporate line is sucked into the engine intake manifold and causes the engine to stall. This is a serious safety issue because the car could be on the road. When it stalls it could easily cause an accident. Chrysler should fix this before people are injured.
2007 dodge grand caravan dies after filling up with gas creating a driving hazard and a dangerous situation, this happens now with every fill up, didn't happen until nov. 2010, now it happens consistently with every fill up.
