Three problems related to other fuel system hoses lines/piping, and fittings have been reported for the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The engine light came on and the speedometer read the words "gas cap". We changed out the gas cap and turn the engine light off. About a week later it was back on again. I need to get the car inspected but when the mechanic "smoked" the system. He discovered that the module/rollover on top of the tank where 2 small lines goes in is broken and the assembly is not separate but a part of the entire gas tank. He stated there is no reason for the breakage. I have contacted Chrysler about this but have not received any response. There is no viable explanation for this except a faulty part. I am sure I cannot be the only one. There is a strong gas.
Problem: stalling and sputtering after refueling engine type: 3. 3 liter start of problem noticed: approximately 2011-2012 service completed: Chrysler/Dodge dealer and third party engine light associated with problem: egr valve service provided: 2 new egr valves, a evap canister, gas cap, ignition coil and new fuel pump within seconds after fueling my vehicle, the vehicle sputters and sometimes stalls. Initially there was no engine light associated with problem. Vehicle primarily stalls in intersections local streets) due to stalling occurring at start up creating significant safety hazard. After initial stalling (up to 4 times in one incident) and sputtering, vehicle returns to normal operation. Heavy acceleration helps with preventing stalling. The problem has progressed and now the engine light turns on and the vehicle sputters at various time (local streets and highways); even while traveling at highway speeds. I was never informed by "certified mechanics" of the issue or advised on how to fix the problem. I stumbled across information via google search regarding failure of the vapor/liquid separator in the gas tank dating back to at least 2012. I understand NHTSA has completed the investigation. Concerns: 1. Chrysler has failed to notify consumers of a known issue 2. Chrysler/Dodge dealers seem to be unaware of issue 3. Unknown if stalling may occur at highway speeds causing loss of control 4. Stalling has occurred in intersections 5. It is unclear if there are any deaths or serious bodily injuries associated with this issue because it is unclear if this cause has been investigated in traffic homicides across the united states. Further investigation should be completed. Chrysler/Dodge or any other affected vehicle should have to at a minimum notify consumer of danger involved.
Niosh investigation pe 13-016 engine stall. Subject of the cited investigation, stalling while driving after fueling may be characteristic of 2006 Chrysler corp. Minivans (3. 8 l engine) as well, based on messages in a Chrysler minivan e-mail list. Comments indicate that this is a known problem which requires replacement of the fuel tank. My van did this four or five times in the year after my first instance. It was then sold (for unrelated reasons. ) once, I talked with the gas station attendant for a few minutes before leaving the station, and had trouble starting the engine. It came to be my belief that the problem could be avoided or minimized by starting the engine and driving away from the gas station as soon as possible after replacing the fuel cap, believing that vapors from evaporating fuel would overload the vapor recovery system if the car were allowed to sit.
