Truck stalls after refueling without warning ! this is a safety issue occurred in traffic with loss of power brakes and steering with a young driver at the wheel . While exiting a state highway with a near collision from the rear! this should be recalled by Chrysler ! before someone is killed .
For over a year my van's engine stalls in the middle of traffic after refueling. Most recently this same event occurred after refueling at a gas station in annapolis. When I turn on to the main road, my engine sputters, lurches and dies in the middle of ongoing traffic. My steering wheel also locks. After 30 seconds or so, I can restart it and my van operates normally. This is a very common pattern and a major safety issue. I had my vehicle checked at a Chrysler dealership after this began happening and they claim that they need to be able to reproduce the issue in the shop and claim they cannot detect an issue. Based on their training, they said my vehicle is fine. No dealership mechanic wants to spend time going to a gas station to refuel the vehicle in order to gain a personal experience of the issue.

Driving vehicle on road, slowing down to turn right into driveway, turned on right turn signal - instead of the right turn signal coming on, the left turn signal came on. I turned it back off and tried once more - again with the same results. I made the right and vehicle immediately stalled. I could not turn my wheel, could not control steering, but luckily it was a driveway with no oncoming traffic. I was able to crank the engine and restart the vehicle and made it further into the driveway before the vehicle stalled again. Again lost steering control. Now vehicle will not start, simply turns over and cranks but no engine starting.

After filling the gas take with fuel, and closing the cap properly and not topping off, I drove away, made a left hand turn, and the car turned off. This has happened numerous times, mostly going between 25-35 miles/hour and one time happened while driving down an exit ramp to enter the interstate.
