Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country

After filling up the gas tank my Chrysler town and country stalled on the road. All the electronic functions of my Mini van I. E. The brakes and the steering wheel were disabled and I had to pull it on the side. It was thanksgiving day so there was light traffic on the road. I immediately put on hazard lights to avoid any collision from the car that was driving behind me. The next day took the vehicle to Chrysler dealer and they did several things that costs total of $700. But next time I filled up the tank it happened again. I went online to google this problem and found out that this is a very common problem with town and country Mini van. It does poses a dangerous situation to some extent. This was suppose to be a recall from Chrysler but they totally ignored this. The fix to this problem is replacing the fuel tank. . . A big expense.

2005 Chrysler Town & Country. Vehicle stalls after filling gas tank. Was happening intermittently, now more regularly. Most troubling, vehicle often stalls once out in traffic--causing loss of power steering, power brakes, and obviously creating a hazard for other vehicles. Dealer said problem was battery and replaced battery. (did not fix problem. ) dealer claims to never have heard of the problem with the fuel system/tank. Am starting to find others with same complaint.

Upon filling up the gas tank of my 2005 Chrysler Town & Country the van will stall out shortly after pulling away from the gas station. This happens all of the time and the van had 113k miles on it when it was purchased. After stall, it is a hard restart to get it going again.

The first time, about a half mile after a fill-up while making a right hand turn, the engine died. Re-started without any other problems. Most of the time when this has happened is when making a turn but there has been times when stopped in traffic, the engine dies. Has always re-started. There has never been a failure if the tank is re-fueled to approximately 7/8 full.

2005 town and country stalls after filling up with gas. Initially problem was infrequent and would happen once every few months. Now it happens after every fill up. Problem has to do with the evap system and the engine taking in gas instead of vapors thru the system. This is very hard to diagnose, and I imagine most shops diagnose it improperly since it would be hard to reproduce. The stalling does not produce a check engine light or any code visible using a generic obd2 code scanner or the Chrysler drb3 diagnostics system. I also imagine most owners don't link the stalling to filling up with gas, it took me several months to figure that out. Stalling happens within 40 miles of a tank fill up. I searched the internet and found dozens of other people complaining about the same problem. The repair is a whole new gas tank with an average repair cost of approx $800. It's a very dangerous problem, the van has stalled with my wife driving on the highway several times while taking my children places.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country with 63,000 miles, 3. 8 l v-6 engine. Serviced by dealer for first 50,000 miles; by reputable local repair shop since. Oil change every 3000 miles, all maintenance as scheduled in owner's manual. For at least the past 3 years, van usually stalls within 1/2 mile of gas station after a fill-up. Usually starts back and idles rough for 30-45 seconds before clearing up. Dealer said they fixed it while under warranty with software update; did not last. This seems to be a problem with several owners. Local repair shop said they were familiar with problem; required fuel tank and sensor to be replaced for several hundred $$$. Seems to be a safety issue that should be recalled and repaired by Chrysler. Problem now occurs with every fill-up.

We have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. Within the past couple years, this car has stalled every couple months. It always happens within minutes of filling the gas tank. After pulling out into traffic, the car will stall and just shut down. Sometimes the check engine light will come on. We turn off the car and restart it, and it seems to run fine after that. We have taken it to the dealer/mechanic 3 times for them to check this problem, but they always tell us they can not duplicate it so they do now know what the problem is. Recently, at 72,000 miles, we replaced the egr valve, and hoped that this might fix the problem. But several days later, the car stalled again. This is a safety issue that should be solved by Chrysler.

2005 Chrysler--town & country Mini-van / (3. 8l) every time this vehicle is refueled the engine stumbles or stalls out 2 minutes after restarting. This is extremely problematic when attempting to exit gas stations adjacent to busy roads. The "stumbling" or stalling occurs quite abruptly and always causes temporary loss of power steering and brakes as the engine shuts down. Based on numerous car blog sites this seems to be a fairly common problem on 04 and 05 Chrysler and Dodge Mini-vans. Some Chrysler mechanics have commented Chrysler is aware of the problem. However, the issue seems to involve the gas tank emissions purge valve system, which is an integral part of the fuel tank. The only way to correct the problem is to replace the fuel tank. Given the nature of this problem I believe government emissions regulations and other safety regulations should be used to force a manufacturers recall of these vehicles to replace fault fuel tanks.

After my last 3 fill-ups, my 2005 Chrysler t&c stalls within about 30 seconds of re-start, usually in the gas stations driveway. The service station indicated the cause to be the roll-over valve and that the entire gas tank would need to be replaced. Typically gas fumes should be sent to the evaporator, but now liquid gas is going into it. If the roll-over valve is at fault, I assume that liquid gas could be spilled if a roll-over did occur. Wouldn't this be a safety issue and shouldn't the government force Chrysler to perform a service recall for this? estimated repair charge is going to be around $800.

At 39,000 miles, the 2005 town and country began stalling following a fuel filling. This stalling occurred and still occurs following fuel filling. The van was taken to a Chrysler dealership. The service department indicated that the roll-over valve on the fuel tank was the cause of the problem. The remedy given was a fuel tank and evaporator canister replacement at a cost of $900. Evidently the faulty valve cannot be replaced independent of the fuel tank. Internet research of this issue found that this is a commonly reported problem by 2005 Chrysler town and country owners. As the stalling can occur as the vehicle enters a highway, this problem can cause accidents and injuries. Chrysler should issue a recall to repair the faulty valve on the tanks.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact was driving 70 mph and the vehicle stalled without warnings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the evaporator valve in the fuel tank was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000 and the current mileage was 115,000.

Gas tank has a hole somewhere close to top,was told it looked like maybe something actually rubbed hole there. It just started leaking gas. I can only put about 10. 00 at a time. I am putting it in shop today to have it r epaired because it is very much a safety issue. We were just informed about it when car was returned back to us and that it had been like that since may or June of this year. Son checked it and said it looked as if something was rubbing up against it.

2005 Chrysler t&c stalls after gas fillup. - within the last year my 2005 t&c has begun to stall within 20 seconds after a complete fuel tank fillup. It now will stall several times within the next 2 minutes and is becoming a safety hazard out on the road. The dealer indicates a roll-over valve in the fuel tank may be at fault and a fuel tank replacement is needed. Seems a bit excessive for a fault detection sensor. Not sure this is the answer. I have read of similar complaints but no identified correction. Is there a recall or identified solution? it does not happen on partial fuel refills or if I leave the t&c running during refueling. Would appreciate any information as I now feel this is getting worse and may not start after one of these stalls.

2005 Chrysler Town & Country - 38,000 mi. - faulty gas gauge or sending unit. Gauge shows 3/4 full when fuel tank is empty. I ran out of gas twice because of this.

While driving along a quiet suburban street, the engine of my 2005 Chrysler Dodge caravan quit without warning. With remaining limited braking and steering, I brought the car to a safe stop. The engine would turn over, but would not start. I called for assistance; the dealership service rep confirmed that the fuel gauge sending-unit had stopped working, so even though the fuel gauge showed over half-full, I had run out of gas! the unit was replaced under warranty, leaving me to speculate what might have happened if I'd been miles out of town in a canadian-winter storm, with my family along.
