13 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Hello, I currently have a mechanical issue with my 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. If I fill the gas tank up completely, the engine will stall. This poses a safety risk, as a sudden stop on the highway or city roads can turn me into an obstacle and accident risk. Chrysler refuses to repair my vehicle. Upon further investigation, there is a Chrysler service bulletin for the exact issue that I'm having. You can view it at the following link: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10074652-2280. Pdf in the document above, it states that it covers mdh 0901xx vehicles built on or after 09/01/2003, or mdh 0331xx vehicles built on or before March 31, 2004. My vehicle is an mdh 0901xx, and it is built after 09/01/2003. I took it to the dealer, and the technician didn't understand what this meant. The mdh format is mmddhh where mm is the month, dd is the day, and hh is the hour. Example: mdh 100819 decodes 10 = tenth month (October) 08 = eighth day 19 = nineteenth hour (7 pm) my vehicle's mdh is 0901xx. It was built in 09/2004. And of course, it's having the exact same problem that this NHTSA-issued service bulletin addresses. But the dealer technician still refused to service my vehicle. Vehicle is eligible to be repaired under this warranty extension (15-year/unlimited miles, according to the document above). I can provide you with the door sticker and any other information you need to verify this. Can you please help me schedule my repair at landmark Chrysler in springfield, IL? feel free to email me or call me at any time regarding this matter. If I am unable to answer the phone, please leave a voicemail and I will return your call promptly. Thanks, rashmin.
There is gasoline leaking from under the car in the area of the gas tank/lines. There is also a strong gasoline smell inside vehicle. I notice the smell more when the vehicle is stationary and obviously the leak on the ground when parked. I don't know what to take a picture of exactly, if you want I can send you a picture of a stain on the ground.
Fuel tank multifunction control valve is not operating correctly, so vehicle stalls after refueling. The vehicle stalls after refueling both while stationary or in motion, on city streets and at gas stations. I contacted the manufacturer Chrysler and Chrysler refused to include my vehicle with the existing recall. I have a second town and country that is included in the recall, and I have attached that recall letter.
Vehicle smells like gasoline after each use. Fuel is visibly leaking at the fuel line connection to the fuel tank. The VIN search comes up without results but the make/model search lists a fuel line recall. What gives?.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler town and country. While traveling 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. After ten minutes, the vehicle restarted. When the fuel tank was half full, the vehicle immediately ran out of fuel. In addition, the warning lights on the instrument panel no longer illuminated and the seat belt sensor warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 265,000.
Every time I fill up my fuel tank, 1 minute later, when I press on the accelerator, the van stalls. I have to start it again, takes a while but it starts. The van runs fine afterwards. This happens everytime I fill it up with fuel.
I purchase the vehicle on September 6, 2014 and am the second owner of the vehicle. I do not have any information regarding the following problem prior to the purchase. The engine stalls while I am driving or idling shortly after refueling. I do not top off the gas tank. This has happened after each refuel since I purchased the vehicle (approximately 12 times in total). The car will sputter and then stall while idling or will jerk forward violently as the engine sputters while I am driving and then stall. This may happen immediately in the gas station parking lot or as far away as 1 mile down the road after refueling. I was nearly rear-ended this morning when this occurred.
After fueling, this vehicle stalls 1 to 3 times. We do not "top off the tank", but stop fueling when pump shuts off. It does not matter the temperature outside. The engine shuts off and power steering and power brakes are lost. There have been times that an object, such as a mail box, is almost hit because it's very difficult to control the vehicle. This is no doubt a safety issue because control of the car is lost. If you pull out into traffic thinking the vehicle is going to accelerate and it does not, you are in danger of being hit by oncoming traffic. Apparently this is quite a common problem for these vans. This needs to be addressed by Chrysler.
The car stalls after fuel tank fill up. This happens every time we fill the fuel tank. After approximately a quarter mile or one minute or so driving the car sputterrs or stalls.
My van frequently stalls out, and it's particularly likely to stall immediately after fuel refill, especially if I fill up the tank. It happened again this week, leaving me stalled out at a stoplight for a few minutes. Sometimes, too, it will leave me stranded by acting as if the engine is flooded and therefore, it won't start. If I let it sit and don't attempt to start it for at least 30 minutes, it generally starts right up. This has been going on for at least 18 months, but I am not certain of the exact date of the first instance.
First incident: filled up low gas tank at a gas station. Hopped in the car, started it, and drove off. About 1 minute later, the car shut off completely. It started up again a moment later. Second incident: same as the first incident, only a week later. Empty tank, filled it up, shut off about a minute later. Third incident: same as first two forth incident: this continues, occurring every time now.
Had just filled gas tank and pulled out of gas station into traffic. Van began to sputter and stalled in middle of traffic. After this happened several times figured out not to fill the tank all the way. A couple of times almost got hit from the rear.
Fill up with fuel (not topped off, just until the pump clicks off) and the car starts, but after going several hundred feet, the engine starts to sputter and choke, then the car dies. Must restart and usually it still chokes and sputters, but then will seem to resolve once you step on the gas and will not typically stall out until the next fuel up when we rinse and repeat the same experience. This happens every time I fuel up and has for over three and a half years. I finally decided to do some research on it because it's very nerve wracking as it happens once you leave the service station and are out in traffic. This is extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed before someone is killed because of a faulty gas tank! I found that Chrysler has addressed this problem with some of their vehicles this is occurring to, but not the minivans. . Read more...
