Over the last several weeks my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.8 liter engine will stall out several times after refueling. It will restart & stall several times before the problem seems to rectify itself. All power assisted steering is lost and the vehicle becomes difficult to steer safely. Power braking is also affected. There have been a couple of occasions where I have been turning into traffic and had the vehicle stall. One time I was unable to complete the turn and stay in my lane. On one occasion I breached the lane to my left. While traffic was traveling in the same direction I was, another motorist had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting me.

Filled fuel tank right off I24 in tn. Car stalled on entrance ramp to highway. Drifted to side and engine restarted quickly. This now happens almost every time the tank is filled. Around town I can cope by not filling the tank, but very inconvenient and very dangerous on trips especially on highways. We are not talking about overfilling the tank, but just filling to point when pump shuts off. When engine stalls, not only is there an immediate loss of momentum, the power steering system quits, but the brakes become useless. Every time this happens, I just wait for someone behind me to not slow down in time and rear-end me. Luckily, I have not been in the fast or middle lane when it stalls, because of possibly not being able to get to the shoulder to restart it. I am also paranoid that if I try to mess with putting it into neutral and fooling around with the key, I will become a very distracted driver. Chrysler's answer is to replace fuel tank at a cost of $1200. If I could afford that then I wouldn't be driving a 2006 automobile.

After filling the tank with gas, the van engine runs rough and then stalls out. This has happened numerous times over the past three to four years. When it happened on tues, October 7, 2014, I had just pulled out of the gas station and was getting ready to cross a busy intersection when the car stalled. I had to quickly put it in to park and restart. Scared me to death. Again, this has happened at least fifty times to me. We have taken it to the dealership and they can never get the problem to happen for them which makes sense because it is only going to happen after refueling.

Van stalls after filling the Grand Caravan with fuel. Loses steering and speed.

After filling my gas tank, I drove approximately 2 miles and the car totally lost power and stalled. The entire dash panel died and I lost all steering capabilities. This has happened multiple times and I no longer fill my gas tank to the fullest capacity for fear that the car will stop.

Air conditioning failed around 50,000 miles. Had system recharged and started to fail again in a couple of months. By that time, weather started to become cold. By 80,000 miles (following summer), told that the rear air evaporator part was leaking and while Dodge did not "recall" the part, they extended the warrant to I think - 75,000 miles. The part took about 2 months to come in and cost over $1,600 to install. I was never given notice of the "extended warranty." Driver side automatic door no longer works for the second time (first around 50,000 second time around 75,000). Rack and pinion needed replacement around 90,000 miles. That cost around $1,500. Fuel gauge is about 1/4 tank off in the bad direction. Can no longer trust gauge under half a tank. Paint started to peel and metal underneath rust around 50,000 miles.
