2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2018

Saturday, December 22, 2018 - we were returning home after visiting out of town relatives for the winter holidays. The van stalled on us (entire family of four plus one aunt-five people total in our van) in the middle of the road! I was a panicking fearing we could all die that instant! we were very lucky to safetly get the van to the side of the road with the rolling momentium the van still had despite the engine turning off, no power steering, and no power brakes! my wife had been telling me (started about five years ago) that the van randomly stalls while in traffic and I had been researching the issue online continuously when I had free time and remembered the random stalling issue. No trouble codes came up when the van stalled on Saturday, December 22, 2018. After reasearching what others have posted online, this issue seems like a class action law suit needs to be filed for it because of the severity of the issue (putting families lives at risk, thats the main purpose of buying a van, to take your family places).

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2017

Vehicle stalls a minute or so after filling gas tank while driving. This happened on several different occasions.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2017

Last week, within a minute or two of refueling and restarting the engine, the car stalled completely - eliminating steering control and making braking extremely difficult, causing me to hit the opposite curb and obstruct traffic. This has occurred at least 7 times in the past 2 years. It has happened immediately as I've exited the pumps at the gas station and also after I've exited the station and turned onto a city street or a highway. One time it happened as I turned onto a freeway on-ramp. It has happened after turning and also while driving straight ahead. I have reported this frightening situation to the Chrysler dealership. They couldn't find anything the matter. When it occurred again, I've taken it to two independent mechanics who also couldn't figure out the problem.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2016

After filling my gandmothers gas tank on her 2007 town and country we pulled onto the street and the whole car stalled out and I lost control of my steering wheel and breaks. If it hadn't been for quick reaction time on my part. We would have been in a collision. It's never had a problem before. In order to gain control back I had to throw the van in park and then it restarted and drove with no problem home.

6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2015

While driving on expressway at 70 mph, I pulled to the left to avoid a vehicle entering my lane and the car simple stall. No warning, all electrical system warning lights came on and after stopping in the center median, I attempted to restart the vehicle with no results. After having vehicle towed to the nearest facility, I was told that the fuel pump died and had a short. After replacing the fuel pump, the car would run for 9 minutes and would shut down. The mechanic informed me that one of the electrical control modules was faulty causing the alternator to over charge and shut off. I have had issues since we purchased this vehicle in 2007 with the gauges shutting down and the car shutting down. I have asked the dealer on several occasions about this problem and their response has always been that it doesn't happen when they have the vehicle. Now I find out that the Chrysler dealer stated to the pepboys mechanic that this is a common problem with the town and country.

7 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2015

Car stalled approaching stop light. Would not restart. Was able to jump start it and took it in to service. Told that the lower end was bad and engine needed to be replaced. Some of these cars had a lifetime powertrain warranty, I missed the window by less than 6 months. Clearly, they knew there was a problem and did not do anything about it.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2015

While driving on the highway going 70 mph the engine on my Chrysler town and country stalled. I had to coast to a stop and restart the engine. It started up fine but 4-5 min later it stalled out again while turning into the school parking lot. Again it started up fine. At low speeds, I now experience some engine surging issues.

9 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2015

My 2007 Chrysler town and country touring minivan stalls after filling up with gas everytime when get gas. Van starts and you start to drive and then all of a sudden the car stalls in the middle of an intersection and you have to shift van into park quickly and then restart van and then put in gear. Can drive a mile down the road and it happens in the middle of driving at a higher speed. Once you drive it for about 10 minutes continuous it stops stalling until the next time you get gas. Also sometimes when trying to fill up gas tank, if close to empty, the sensor in the gas tank that let's the gas station pump know that the tank is full makes the pump stop after just a gallon pumped in and keep sending that signal that it is full and won't let you fill anymore. Have to wait till the next day before it let's you fill up completely without doing that sensor issue. However it does the stalling after filling up with gas no matter how much gas is put in the gas tank.

10 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2014

After I fill up my van then starting after about 30 seconds to a minute the engine would run rough and if you did not give it the gas it would stop. I mentioned this to my dealer but they did not know or hear of this problem. In the November 2014 issue of consumer reports I noticed in the "road report" section about fuel tank problems with 2007-2008 Chrysler vehicles. I checked the web and in the "allpar. Com news" that covers all Chrysler vehicles it had a article about 2006-2007 vehicles "stalling on a full fuel tank". I have had this problem since I purchased the vehicle in March of 2011 with approximately 32000 miles. My dealer said since there was no recall on this that they could not do anything about this unless I paid to have it fixed. In the allpar article it stated that it is the problem with the "stant-built floats in the fuel tank". I am use to this happening so I am ready for it. I keep my foot on the gas in neutral if I am stopped to ensure the engine does not die. If I am driving just need to be aware and keep on the gas and it passes in about 10 seconds. Please help. Thanks.

11 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2014

Fill-up gas after 1. 5hours of highway travel. Off from the gas station joining a busy street at ~10mph, van stalled. I had wife, my son and two friends - it was a nerve wracking incident. The car behind us had to swerve to next lane to avoid rear-ending us. Stalling continue to happen everytime I fill-up. Thus I would volunteer my vehicle if further testing is needed to investigate the root cause of the issue.

12 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2013

My wife's 2007 Chrysler town and country van stalls after every fill up. This has happened in heavy traffic and could result in an accident. I thought this might be isolated, but after an internet search, it seems this is a significant widespread issue. My opinion is this is a safety issue and should not happen after only 55,000 miles. Thanks.

15 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2011

After filling the minivan with gas (especially if full), once driving off gas station lot--car stalls. Everything shuts off. Usually shakes right before shutting off. Must have something to do with brakes too. The more you brake right after turning car back on after fill up, the more likely it will stall. Very dangerous if making a turn, on highway or if cars are behind it. Also died once when turning into parking spot. I came very close to hitting car because power steering and brakes were gone too. This has been happening for months and is a huge problem. Our chrystler/Dodge could not diagnose problem but there are many others online. This is a 2007 most of the same problems are with 2005.

16 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2010

The vehicle stalls intermittently at any speed in drive or reverse. This issue has happened at least one time per week for several months.

17 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2009

This is a frequently recurring issue with this vehicle. Ever since purchase, the vehicle will stall or almost stall from a stop or very low speed acceleration within minutes or less than five miles of refueling. After about 3 to 5 seconds of cranking, the engine will restart. . This condition does not appear to be affected by weather or temperature at the time of incident. I take care to stop the refueling process immediately when the nozzle at the pump clicks shut. The concern is that this stalling occurs normally at an intersection and I fear at some point, there will be a collision. The vehicle has been well maintained and I have all service records since purchased in 2009. The current mileage is 105,000.
