Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country

2006 Chrysler Town & Country. Vehicle engine shuts off after refueling to full tank. This happens 98% of the time after fueling. Vehicle stops approximately 2 to 5 minutes after fueling that allows vehicle enough time to be in travel lane with on coming traffic. My wife was almost re-ended 2 times. This is a known defective problem with these vehicles and other Chrysler vehicles (300 model etc. ) that were repaired by Chrysler. My van is not covered according to dealer.

The van is stalling immediately after refueling. It initially starts, and then when I pull out and stop at the intersection it dies. It is necessary to keep the gas pedal mashed as I am trying to restart it or it just keeps dying as soon as the engine turns over. Once it restarts, I have to keep the gas pedal pushed down while it idles roughly for a minute or so and then it evens out and has no further problems until I refuel again. I have read this is a common problem on 2204-2007 Chrysler vans that requires replacing the whole gas tank to replace the vapor/fluid separator valve causing the problem.

My 2006 Chrysler town and country minivan stalls shortly after fueling. It has happened several times when I have pulled out of a gas station and start to accelerate on a main road. One time I pulled out and the van stalled in the middle of a high speed road. A tractor trailer had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid rear ending me. I had my two children in the van with me. It happens after I refuel the van and start to accelerate. I've found other complaints online about the same issue. They say it is a faulty gas/liquid seperator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. When it goes bad, fuel gets sucked up into the charcoal canister for the emmisions and that is what causes the van to stall. Chrysler is aware of the problem. It is a safety issue when your vehicle stalls out when you are trying to merge into high speed traffic. My understanding is that the entire gas tank needs to be replaced because that liquid/gas seperator valve is part of the gas tank. This should be a safety recall. When I call Chrysler to file a complaint, the guy told me that the 3. 4l Chrysler vans were recalled for this exact reason but since I had a 3. 8l engine I did not qualify. I don't understand why an engine size would make a difference if the problem is with a faulty valve in the gas tank and the gas tank is the same on both vehicles. Can someone explain this to me please? Chrysler has already set the prcedence on the recall and they need to broaden it to all vehicles with this same gas tank valve issue before someone gets killed.

I was driving down the road and the engine turned itself off. Luckily I was able to coast to the side of the road and away from flowing traffic. I took my van into the mechanic and they discovered that there is a faulty roll-over valve in the fuel system, which was allowing gasoline to leak into the engine. I had filled my tank up with gasoline prior to this happening and the mechanic believes that the pressure of the gasoline on the valve allowed the gas to escape into the engine. I am so thankful this happened on a side street and not a busy highway. I had my kids with me when this happened so I am furious they were put in jeopardy over a faulty part. Now I'm stuck with a huge bill to get the valve replaced to make my van safe to drive again.

I had just filled up the gas tank and was departing a gas station. It was a large parking lot, so I was accelerating to merge onto us-19 in homossassa springs, FL and the engine stalled completely. Luckily, we had not exited the gas station parking lot and I was able to steer out of traffic and come to a complete stop. This has happened multiple times since the first occurrence, without injury, or accident. Ever since the the third occurrence and a review of online literature, we never completely fill up the gas tank anymore.

Every time my 2006 Chrysler town and country is filled with fuel when driving off within minutes the engine dies and start up takes several tries. This is a safety problem pulling out in traffic risking the vehicle becoming disabled and subject to the on coming traffic. When the engine dies power steering also becomes disabled. Lets hope no one fills up near a railroad track. Chrysler is aware of this problem recalling several of their makes for the same problem knowing they have the same gas tank on more than a few of their models.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Djr.

For 3 months now, everytime the vehicle is fueled, the engine begins to stall and sputter. This happened on 2/20/2014 at 5pm after leaving the fueling station and the car stalled in the middle of a turn through a heavy traffic intersection, I lost power steering at a critical point in the turn and crossed one lane and almost into a concrete wall before muscling the steering wheel into a safe spot to try to restart the vehicle. I have been seeing a lot of reports about a failure with the vapor liquid separator valve on the gas tank that allow liquid to fill the charcoal canister which inturn sends raw liquid fuel rather than vapor into the engine intake causing an extremely rich mixture causing the stalling and sputtering. This is happening after every refuel and I am seeing hundrends of Chrysler owners complaining of the same problem. Chrysler denied ever hearing about this problem when I called their customer service number to inquire. Apparently the fix is to replace the fuel tank. Sounds like a very unsafe design flaw to me.

I stopped and got gas. I do not overfill my tank. I did not top off my tank. As I left the gas station and pulled across traffic my 2006 Chrysler town and country began to shutter and stalled. After that day, every time I fill up the same thing occurs. I have researched and reviewed many sites on the internet and see that there are many others that have had this same dangerous issue. Apparently, the only way to repair the problem is to have Chrysler install a brand new gas tank. It seems the real issue is a defective vapor/ liquid valve. This a tremendous safety issue, I was almost was hit by on coming traffic because of this issue. After spending many hours searching the internet, I have found no recall to date. Does someone have to get injured or die before Chrysler fixes this issue? my kids, all 4 of them were in the vehicle when it happened to me the first time. Now I drive around the parking lot, let the vehicle stall and then drive.

Stalls at stop after full gas tank refueling, doesn't stall if not completely full.
