Engine Stall problems of the 2004 Chrysler Town & Country

Three problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2010

Engine stalls each time the fuel tank is filled. This happens only once per fill up and only after leaving the fuel station and entering the adjacent roadway. This is a dangerous condition as there is no warning and no power to steer and pull off the road to re-start. Re-starting can take a while to achieve in traffic. This is a dangerous defect apparently requiring replacement of the entire fuel tank? why is Chrysler not required to recall these vehicles as it is very common and dangerous failure?.

2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2010

Within a few minutes of filling the fuel tank, the engine will stalls. It can happen at any speed from 0-50 mph. The engine will stall about 80% of the time after fuelling.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

Every time when fill up the gas tank the engine will stalled (but you can start up ) will run rough for 4 to 5 miles after that engine will back to normal condition, I have known a lot people have a same problem with there types of vehicles, this does sound like a design flaw. About 75,000 miles it started to stall right after filling up. It is a dangerous situation especially if it stalls in the middle of an intersection or on railroad tracks. Chrysler should recall there types of vehicle.
