When pumping gasoline into the tank, within a few seconds the gasoline backlows and turns off the pump. In order to get 5 gallons into the tank it may take 20 stops, wait & starts which may take 5 minutes. The charcoal vapor trap is working fine since the hose to it from the gasoline tank was disconnected to test the vapor canister. Mechanic does not have a clue how to resolve this problem. This is an ongoing problem for over a month and a half.

Unknown. After refueling, if you fill up the tank all the way the car wll completely lose power once you start driving. This may happen immediately or after you have been driving for a few minutes. You will lose all power steering and power brakes, making it difficult to control the vehicle. If you have any speed at all, it is pretty impossible to slow down. . Read more...

Something wrong with my gas tank, it always stops me even if it's halfway. The driver seat belt doesn't stay well. The holes where the engine always comes off and there's a lot of smoke coming out. The headliner is coming off and there's like a sand falling to my kids. The break is not that strong.

Van idles roughly and stalls immediately following refueling. We do not "top off" the tank but the van stalls within a minute of leaving the gas station. Stalling seems to occur less in colder temperatures but the rough idle is consistant. This seems like the same problem that was covered for 2004-2005 model years by an extended warranty. This poses a safety hazard as the van could stall in traffic causing an accident.

Vehicle hesitates and stalls immediately after a complete fill-up. This could cause a dangerous condition in heavy traffic. Similar symptoms to a 2005 Chrysler town & country I had which was recalled for a defective fuel tank sensor.

Engine often hesitates after you have driven a few blocks after refueling. This form asks for a single specific date but this problem has happened every few weeks for the last year or so. Depending upon the traffic situation when the hesitation occurs, and accident could easily occur. My mechanic says that the liquid/vapor separator valve on the gas tank is not operating properly. This valve is a part of the tank and cannot be replaced as a separate item, so the cost of the repair is substantial. A brief search on the internet indicates that many other owners of Dodge Caravans manufactured between about 2004 and 2007 are reporting this same problem.

Car will stall after putting fuel in. It doesn't matter how much fuel, car will stall with no warning. Usually when pulling into traffic. This has happen several times at different gas stations. Real safety issue since you will not have any power to steer to a safe place. You have to turn car off, than start car for it to restart. Dealership has replace several items but car still stalls. Now I'm told it's the fuel tank which is a costly repair. The problem is a design flaw. The water/ fuel purge value is bad and the only way to fix it, is to replace the fuel tank. I'm looking for a fuel tank but cannot fine one. Even the auto shop I use regularly cannot fine one, only at the dealership which costs three time more than what they would charge. Conspiracy?.

Just filled up with fuel, started to pull in to traffic, engine stalled. Almost broadsided by a semi. Now every time I fill up, the engine stalls upon acceleration. Upon doing some checking I have found that I am not the only one with this problem, and that the problem is a faulty valve in the fuel tank. Somebody is going to die because of this all of a sudden hesitation. There are hundreds of these people having this same problem. How come no recall?.

I purchased my vehicle in the fall of 2013 and am starting to come to the conclusion that every time I fill my gas tank up my vehicle shuts off! today I filled up my gas tank. My children were in the back seat and when I pulled out into the highway the van shut off and the steering wheel locked up! I had no control over the vehicle. This seems to be a common problem with these vans and something needs to be done before someone gets hurt! I can't fill my gas tank up because of this issue.

When attempting to fill the tank with gas, even on near-empty tank, gas pump clicks off and gas spills out and runs down the body of the car onto the ground. Dodge issued a recall for durango and other Chrysler vehicles for a faulty check valve in the tank but not for my car (caravan). I'd like to lodge a complaint. Dodge tells me that fixing this problem will cost me $1720 for a new gas tank. I believe Dodge should fix it for me because it is dangerous to have gas spill out when attempting to fill.

I pulled into the gas station and filled up the fuel tank. Tried to start the Dodge grand Caravan and it didn't even try to start. I just put in a new battery before the trip, so I had plenty of electrical power, it was acting like it would if you left it in the drive position. Put it in neutral, same effect, back into park, no luck. Pushed it out of the gas pump area, tried again, no spark. I had to have it towed to the service station.

After refueling the van would stall then restart this has happen twice know. After an internet search I see this is a known problem and design flaw. The search puts the blame on the "vapor/liquid separator valve" requiring a compleat fuel tank replacment.

Car stalls after refueling. Stalling mainly occurs when tank is near empty and tank is completely filled.

The contact owns a 2002 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the radio wires would short circuit whenever the radio was activated. There was a recall related to the failure under NHTSA campaign id number 04v531000 (equipment). The VIN was not included in the recall. In addition, the driver's side exterior and interior sliding doors would not unlock. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also mentioned that the fuel tank hose was replaced previously. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

When I fill the gas tank up, the van stalls after a couple of minutes of driving. At first, I thought that I had gotten some gas with water in it at the gas station. But then it happened again. Then I thought that maybe it had something to do with topping the tank off. So, I don't top it off anymore, but I am still having the same stalling problem.

As mentioned by several other postings, the Caravan engine will stall out after the gas tank is filled. This happens almost every time the vehicle is fueled. It will stall out within a few minutes of driving after leaving the gas station. It has stalled out in traffic, at stop lights, and now I avoid traveling on the roadway for several minutes after fueling if possible, choosing instead to travel through parking lots or back roads before entering any main arteries. A service repairman at the dealership said he had never heard of such a thing and had no idea what the problem could be. Another mechanic mentioned it might be a valve in the top of the tank that is defective but the only repair is to replace the whole gas tank as the part is not a separate piece. Based on my own online research, I think this is a defect with this make and model.

Gas leak by gas tank, and further up fuel line.

The vehicle has the strong smell of gasoline. When parked and being driven the gas fumes are strong. I changed the fuel tank, that did not fix the problem. If the windows are opened the fumes enter the cab. When open the door, I have to stand back and let the fumes dissipate before getting in. I cringe when a lit cigarette is thrown out ahead of me. Is this the time that I will go up in a blaze of glory? what has to happen to get this problem fixed?.

When one drives away after refueling the gas tank the vehicle quits running. It will restart. This will happen for the first ten miles or so. Other Dodges are having the same problem.

Not 100% but probably 40% - 60% of the time I refuel - especially a full tank - the car will tend to hesitate and stall within the first 90 seconds of getting back on the road. Seems like it has not done it a lot lately but I just had some work done by the local Dodge dealer including new wires and plugs. When I left the dealership it ran fine. I put in probably 3/4 tank of gas in it and it began hesitating and stalling worse than it had in some time. The weather was also quite a bit cooler than it had been in 6 months. I also read an article in USA today about this issue which I have been experiencing since 2007 when I purchased the car used. I have had the dealer look at it in the past and the could identify nothing specific. Figured I would register the complaint since I heard others were having the same issue.

The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that over the course of five years, whenever he filled the fuel tank the vehicle would stall immediately after. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on three different occasions but the no cause for the failure was determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 91,000.
