I went to the gas station and filled my gas tank, not topping it off, and as soon as I turned out of the station on a major road the vehicle stalled and almost resulting in an accident. After a quick restart the van ran fine and I was able to drive from nashville, TN to atlanta, GA with no problems. But when I filled up again in atlanta, right after pulling out of the gas station the vehicle stalled again, in the middle of a busy intersection. This problem is widely reported across Dodge and Chrysler vans, with over 100 complaints on this website. I'm hoping this issue with the gas tank/sensors will be address. Thank you.
Every time we fill the fuel tank the caravan cuts off and rides very rough. The recall on the Dodge caravan was on vans build starting on 09/01/2003 my caravan was built on 09/29/2013.
Every time I fill up the van, as soon as I pull out of the gas station it will idle rough, hesitate, or die all together. I could have 1/2 tank and add maybe 5 gal of gas and it will do the same thing. I saw online that I am not the only one that had this issue. It ranges for different years and come to find our it has to do with a valve above the tank and cant be replaced singly but the whole tank for $1600 plus labor. This is a safety issue because this thing has happen in the middle of an intersection while turning. I called melloy Dodge here in albuquerque nm and they right shot me down about as quick it took to dial the phone number.
Beginning around August 2012, my 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan anniversary edition began to sputter and stall if I ever filled the gas tank completely. If I did not continue to feed gas to the engine, the engine would stall. At stoplights I would need to put the car in park and rev the gas and then sit in park until I was able to move. This would continue for approx 2-3 miles. In summer 2013 it began happening even if the car was not filled to capacity. Repair shops tell me it's the type of gas or there is water in the gas line, but my research tells me this is a known caravan issue. My requests for repair investigations are not taken seriously. So my solution is to never fill the car beyond 3/4 tank - super inconvenient. As a result, the sputtering does not happen as much any more, but the situation is dangerous and scary. I am just waiting for the engine to fail in the middle of a busy road simply because I've gotten fuel.
For a year or so my wife and I could smell gasoline fumes in the garage at night. I checked engine gas filler under car, but was unable to identify source of gasoline fumes. Finally about w week ago the smell of fumes was stronger. I looked under the car and noticed a wet spot on garage floor. I put th car on jacks crawled under the car and could see fuel oozing from a fitting on fuel line that was connected to the top of the tank. This fitting is some sort of quick disconnect in which you can turn easily on the white plastic fitting on top of the tank. We are now parking auto outside fearing the fumes could ignite in the garage from hot water heater. Is there a possible recall on this problem?.
