Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • 130,000 miles
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.

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.

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.

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. NHTSA 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.

After filling up the tank with gas, the car, almost always, stalls, a few minutes into driving. I've been concerned about this, since my wife mostly uses this car, and has stalled on the highway several times.I have had it stall in the middle of a busy intersection.of course, the power steering also cuts out when the engine shuts down which compounds the danger. When I "googled" the words "2007 Grand Caravan stalls", a very long list of people with the same complaint immediately came up.apparently, the small part causing this malfunction is part of the entire gas tank and cannot be replaced without replacing the entire gas tank. This is a very expensive repair, and not affordable to many. Chrysler should be recalling these vehicles and repairing what is obviously a major design flaw, before someone is seriously hurt or killed. This is not a defect in some innocuous interior part of the car, it affects the safe operation of a moving vehicle!

Every time the fuel tank is filled up, and after we start driving, the engine will just stall. It could lead to an accident if this happens in traffic. Luckily this hasn't happened yet. There are several other cases on the internet, for example, on this website: en.allexperts.com/Q/Chrysler-repair-807/F/stalling-refueling.htm

Grand Caravan

  • 95,000 miles
Vehicle stalls intermittently while driving shortly after filling up with fuel. Vehicle continues to stall periodically without any known consistency. During the stall, the engine cuts out and the steering wheel locks up. This has occurred several times in the parking lot after filling up and while entering the roadway after filling up. This a very dangerous and serious concern for when a loss of power occurs on the roadway serious and potentially fatal accidents may occur.

Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • 121,000 miles
The last few times I have completely filled up my gas tank - the vehicle has stalled. I have had to tried to stop and restart the ignition/engine a number of times for the vehicle to run. This is happening with full gas full-up and happened to me again last night. I have seen this as being a common problem for Chrysler/Dodge minivans in a few on-line forums. Some reports have the vehicles stalling on highways and/or when driving. My vehicle is a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT.

Grand Caravan

  • 61,000 miles
The engine stalled twice within 5 minutes of refueling. The vehicle was filled with unleaded 87 octane gas to full. The gas pump auto stopped when full, and the tank was not topped off. The first stall happened while the vehicle was idling at a stop sign approximately 1 minute after fueling. The engine restarted, but stalled again approximately 2 minutes later. The second stall occurred while the vehicle was in motion at approximately 15-20 mph and turning left. The stall left the vehicle without power steering, and the vehicle coasted into a driveway. There was no accident because of light traffic. Under different circumstances or traffic patterns, a stalled engine leaving a moving vehicle powerless likely would cause an accident resulting in possible injury or death. This same problem has occurred approximately 5-6 times in the last 2 years, however I can not be specific on dates. It was only when my wife and I were together this last time that we both commented on the problem, and found that it has happened to each of us several times. I believe any manufacturer defect which causes a moving vehicle to lose power and become uncontrollable while in motion is an extremely serious and potentially deadly problem.

problem #22

Nov 212014

Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • 56,000 miles
The vehicle stalls after re-fueling. We re-fuel at different gas stations (brands) and the issue remains. Every time we fill the tank and pull out of the gas station into traffic, the engine sputters after driving approximately two blocks, as if it is not receiving enough fuel. The engine then stalls. The engine can be restarted and will not sputter or stall until the next time we re-fuel it. We encounter this issue weekly, after every fill up. It is a potentially dangerous issue because the vehicle stalls in traffic and could cause a traffic accident.
