Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2004 Chrysler Town & Country

After every fuel fill the vehicle runs rough or stalls. Most times for the first mile then clears up. Almost impossible to pull out in traffic after filling the tank.

Car stalls when full gas tank. Doesn't happen every time, but it's always when full. Makes very unsafe condition. I've learned not to make left turns in first 5 minutes after filling, or best not to fill. It's a common problem when looking online, Chrysler replaces tank for valve on tank for some people. They refuse to do anything for me, but offer a $1500 fix. It truly is a widespread safety hazzard.

The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 55 mph after filling the tank with fuel, the vehicle stalled. The contact coasted to the side of the road and waited approximately three minutes. Afterwards, the vehicle restarted and operated normally. The failure recurred right after filling the vehicle with fuel approximately nine times. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified on the failure. The contact also received a recall notification for a fueling issue with the vehicle. The NHTSA campaign number was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

After refueling the van the engine starts easily, I then pull out into traffic and then the engine stalls out in traffic. This only happens after filling the tank full. Usually will restart after the starter cranks a bit. Then the van runs fine until I refill the gas tank again. This has happened on numerous occasions since I purchased the vehicle used three years ago. Your form only has room for one occasion to report.

After filling fuel tank up, I drove out of station and van stalled and quit running. I started it up again, drove about 100 feet and it stalled again. This has happened 4 times after filling up with gas. Very dangerous pulling into traffic out of gas station!.

I filled my gas tank full, and drove my car to a parking lot, later on I went to leave the parking slot and smelled gasoline, and found leakage underneath the vehicle. I took it to an independent mechanic who indicated the metal ring that applies mechanical pressure to the fuel pump / sending unit is severely corroded causing the tangs that hold down the assembly tightly in the tank hole, to fail, causing the pressure on the seal to be inadequate and allow the seal to function. This problem is not causing the check engine lamp to be illuminated, thus is not warning me of this dangerous situation. I purchased another 2004 Chrysler town and country tank, and while it is possibly serviceable, the ring on it is also corroded, and is likely to fail again if put into service. I live in the northern rust belt states. Driving in northeast ohio, western PA wher corrosion is enhanced by salt applied to prevent snow and ice accidents. I have not yet taken the failed tank off the vehicle. I am wondering if Chrysler should repair this for free and recall others that are likely having the same problems in rust prone areas. Was told that this exact tank was only used in 2004. I am currently operating by filling the tank with less than 10 gsllons at a time from an empty tank who's is an inconvenient to do things and probably still not safe in case of a roll over accident, so I hope to get a response from you fairly soon, thank you for you attention in this matter!.

Immediately after refueling engine runs rough like a severe misfire condition for several minutes. If a stop is made during this misfire time frame a stall often occurs. Flooring the accelerator often helps "power through" or clear the condition, but not in every occurrence. This occurs every time fuel is added regardless if the tank is filled completely (until pump stops automatically) or partially (pump cut off by vehicle owner). Status of tank at time of fill up also does not have an effect on the occurrence of this problem, it does not matter if the tank is half, one-fourth, or three-fourths full, problem always persists after fueling. This condition is not dependent on weather conditions, current maintenance status, or by which gas station or pump is used at the station. No mil illumination (except with bulb check after stall) and no codes stored to record incident in pcm. No history in pcm to indicate an issue. Suspect this has something to do with evap or fuel vapor system not operating properly after filling gas tank.

Minivan stalled after fueling up. Took the van immediately to a Chrysler dealer who could not find any problem. Then after a couple weeks, the same problem occurred after fueling and attempting to make a left hand turn. Then the van almost stalled the next time filling the tank up and entering a highway (gas purchased in a different state at a different gas station). Then again after filling up with a premium name brand superior fuel and a gas additive. Very concerned about this problem and not sure we can trust dealer after misdiagnosis the first time.

For the past year, after filling up the gas tank, our van would start to shudder and sometimes stall immediately after pulling out of the station. It would restart after a minute, but stall again, especially after a left turn. It happened again two days ago when my wife filled up, and she and my young son were coming home, and turned left at an intersection with a traffic light. The engine started dying and the van shuddered violently and just quit. Fortunately, she was able to coast through the light and pull into a lot on the right. The dash lights were all lit, but the engine was not running. It did restart again, and she brought it home, though the van rode very rough, like the road was bumpy, when it wasn't. I read 30-40 stories from people who had the exact same issue, on various model years. Many of those stories are on this very page, for owners' complaints. But as of now, Chrysler is offering no repair for an obvious design or manufacturing fault. Please, Chrysler, help us with the repair costs for this wide-spread and very dangerous problem, before people die.

Van stalls after filling gas tank.

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.

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.
