general problems of the 2005 Dodge Caravan

Strong gas smell while driving and at stop. Lights turn on and off at will.

After refueling the car will stall out, usually this happens after a few minutes of driving. Car typically restarts and there is no other incident until refueling again. This has happened more than a dozen times.

The Dodge Caravan has a loud gasoline smell. I have taken this car to the Dodge dealer they told me it was a piece of broccoli found under the seat. Now the smell of gasoline is unbearable and every time I enter the vehicle it makes my skin break out in hives associated with anxiety because I think the car is going to explode. I took the car to outside dealers just to confirm I'm not crazy because the odor makes you sick. I complain about the gasoline smell I have been having for years each outside mechanic tells me the same story the car is a bomb you have a crack in your hubbing fuel line, supply line etc, the crack is internal on top of the fuel line and over time is expanding getting larger and that's how the smell keeps getting stronger ms. Hall this is a factory defect that will kill you. I contact Dodge corporate frantically in tears because I toe been putting my family at risk they had the audacity to tell me that they realize that it is a factory defect but not enough people have reported the problem I'm over my warranty by 15,000.

When starting the vehicle, the catalytic converter blew up and started making a strange noise. After picking it up from the shop, the mechanic told me that he just received another vehicle of my same make and model with the same problem. Hole on the neck of the unit.

If the van is really low on gas and I fill it up completely, when I leave the station, by the first or second time I stop or really slow down the van will die. It must be filled completely though. I have been a couple places to get it checked out but can't find a problem. I try and make it die on me now before leaving the parking lot.

My 2005 Dodge Caravan has a strong gasoline odor. The car has completely stopped while driving twice now. Upon extensive online research this has been an ongoing problem with the Caravan from 1998 through 2004 with recalls. When looking online I've read many complaints from people still having this problem with the 2005. It seems that this problem is still not fixed. I hope that you will look into this. I'm now scared to drive my vehicle, afraid that it will die going down the highway causing an accident or catch fire.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that when she refueled to capacity, the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the vapor lock may have been the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 136,000.

Immediately after fueling my van will stall as I am driving. I looked on the internet and this problem is rampant with numerous Dodge vehicles of the same and varying types and concurrent years. I am wondering why they are not recalling them as this is a severe safety hazard?.
