Vehicle stalls and cuts out ,after filling up tank. While driving. Dangerous. It is doing it at other times now too it is starting to do it at a longer time after fill up. .
* vehicle stalls shortly after filling up the tank. Usually it stalls while in traffic! almost have caused many accidents! * also now will not allow to pump gas into the tank unless it is at the lowest setting (20-25 minutes for a fill up).
Engine stalls or stumbles after filling up. Has been happening since about 90,000 miles, currently at 97,500. The stall that occurred in an intersection yesterday a couple blocks from the gas station was a dangerous and tense situation but thankfully drivers around me were alert and courteous and nothing bad happened. When it stalls the steering and brakes are no longer power assisted, so a smaller driver may not be able to control the vehicle. After stalling, I put the flashers on, shift into park, and am able to restart the vehicle and continue. Sometimes it will stall or stumble a couple of times within a mile or so of the station. This is the pattern. Fill up, stall once or twice or stumble once or twice, then fine for the rest of the tank. It is interesting to me that this does not cause any engine codes to present.
Vehicle stalls a minute or so after filling gas tank while driving. This happened on several different occasions.
When trying to pump fuel into tank ,it accepts between 4 and 5 gallons , then spurts fuel back out of tank neck. It seems no matter how slowly you pump after the 4 or 5 gallons it just shoots fuel back at you. This occurs while at a filling station.
I bought it used with 60,000 mi and 1 year into it it started choking after any fill and a couple times it died while driving . . Slow speeds at take off and in town. . It could last up to 1/2 hour. . Sputtering on and off. . . Real distressing when I was on the freeway with 3 lanes of traffic. . Would have been a pile up if it had died. . Brought it to Chrysler after that and they replaced the fuel level//sending unit and the fuel pump for $400. . . Seemed to be better but its been six months and it's beginning to choke up again. . . I've been filling it at a 1/2 tank level which seems to be helping the most. . . Very dangerous in traffic!!!!!I if you're not going to recall at least identify the problem so we can fix it.
Car stalls out after filling up at gas stations. After speaking with a mechanic and researching the issue it seems as if there is problem with the liquid separator valve and the fix for this would be to replace the whole gas tank including that valve. Unless the car remains started while filling, the stalling persists causing safety hazards on the highway and local roads.
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.
Van surged and stalled while entering the freeway after filling the fuel tank this happens randomly after fill ups.
After filling up with gas and pulling out of gas station, the van will stall. I expect this now and try to get it to stall in the gas station parking lot but this is very dangerous if you have to pull out into traffic. Happens every time I get gas now. Only fill until pump turns off to avoid over-filling but it doesn't help. Saw this was due to failing valves in gas tank allowing liquid fuel into the charcoal canister but there isn't a recall. This should be a recall item due to the safety issue.
Multiple times (3 times to date), immediately after filling up the fuel tank, the engine has stalled shortly after starting the engine and pulling away from the pump. We didn't get onto the roadway before the engine stalled. After shifting to park and restarting, the engine ran normally. This stalling after refueling issue has been reported by numerous other Town & Country owners.
Our 2007 Chrysler town and country van has experienced several instances of stalling after fill-up. I now see that others have experienced this. The worst times are when we let it go below 1/4 tank before filling. Two (2) times this has nearly led to accidents. One (1) time while turning, and another when it stalled pulling away from a stop sign. I am now the only driver allowed to drive the van after fill ups, since I won't take the chance of the vehicle stalling when my wife or daughters are driving. While the report I read said there have been no accidents or deaths reported yet, this malfunction will certainly lead to them. I implore the NHTSA and Chrysler fiat to recall and fix this issue before a van full of kids stalls turning in front of a truck. Thank you.
After filling up the gas tank, and driving about two blocks, the engine stalled during deceleration for a stop sign. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several tries and being allowed it sit for a moment. The engine started to die again at a stop sign a few blocks later, but the driver was able to prevent that by giving it gas and avoiding coming to a complete stop. Between then and the next time the vehicle was filled up with gas, there were no further problems. This problem has re-occurred periodically over approximately the last year, often enough that it's come to be expected after getting gas. It always happens after the gas tank is filled, between two and six blocks from the gas station, and while decelerating.
After filling up the fuel tank and driving maybe one block the engine stalled. This happens now after every fillup. It is exactly the same symptoms as in NHTSA action number : pe13016 for other Chrysler products of the previous year. A search in google came up with many, many people with many different cars experiencing the same thing. If you pull out of the gas station directly onto a highway and stall while trying to merge into high speed traffic, the results could be disastrous (b'ah).
