This vehicle's engine will stall multiple times after the fuel tank has been filled to capacity. The stalls occur while idling, and/or when driving and they can happen without warning while in the middle of traffic or in the middle of a turn. This is a well documented problem within online forums (including youtube) regarding this model of vehicle. This a dangerous problem. I once stalled and was nearly involved in a rear-end collision while trying to merge onto the freeway in this car.

Needed to replace the fuel tank and purge solenoid as the car kept stalling after I'd put gas in the car when I'd leave the gas station. Very unsafe as I'd be at a red light right after putting in gas and would stall. After about 15 minutes of driving consistently the car would drive fine.
This is another issue I've had with this car since I bought it back around thanksgiving 2006. The cars fuel gauge does not give an accurate reading. I've found info about this problem online which involves replacing the fuel sending unit hoses or something. I called Chrysler about this and I cant believe they do not cover the cost of this obvious defect. Tons of info on the web about this one too. I've lived with this issue as well as my numerous suspension problems. Thankfully I know my cars mpg's so I can calculate where my fuel tank should be using the trip odometer like I do on my motorcycle - still very annoying and should be fixed free of charge.
