Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the fuel tank was cracked and caused fuel to leak outside of the vehicle. As a result, there was a strong fuel odor inside and outside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a hairline fracture that needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 132,000.

The vehicle stall immediately after 1st startup fill up of the gas tank. The steering locks and car engine hesitates and dies. After waiting couple of minutes, the car will start up and not have the problem until next refill of the gas tank. I never overfill the gas tank. The problem is similar to an existing recall on 19 gallon gas tanks on Dodge chargers.

Vehicle stalled out at the stoplight after I had filled up the gas tank. I took the van into the Dodge dealership and was told that I needed to replace the whole gas tank.

After refueling van, started vehicle and pulled away from pump driving onto the road applied throttle and engine died without notice just shut off. I am a technician have been for a long time and have seen this problem on many different makes and models the issue is the vent valve on my Dodge Grand Caravan its built into the fuel tank. Unlike my Dodge other brands like Nissan Honda etc. . Actually take care of their customer. Had traffic been busy we could have been seriously injured if not killed. I've read so many complaints for this issue all blaming vent valve and I agree. Something needs to be done and the manufacturer held liable. Dodge already had this same issue on Chrysler 300 and a few other cars and they made a lifetime warranty for those fuel tanks its time they do the same for the vans.

I had noticed the smell of gasoline outside of my car a week or so before. My husband and I went to the gas station to fill up my tank. We pulled out on to a major road with traffic. The car began jerking and trying to stall. After a few minutes it was fine. Yesterday, I got gas again and pulled out with my kids in the car. The car started doing the same thing. There have been multiple reports of this happening. Please help before someone gets killed!.

Roughly 4 blocks after refueling an almost empty tank, the engine in my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled at approximately 25 mph, right before a 90 degree right turn. Because the engine is quite at nearly idle, I did not notice the engine stopped until I started into the turn. With the engine stalled there was no power steering or power brakes. If I was not a relatively strong person, I would not have been able to steer the car around the corner and to the side of the road in a safe fashion. I doubt that any other member of my family would have successfully negotiated the corner since it almost felt like the steering wheel was locked and the result would have been a significant accident at the very least with the on coming traffic. I was not sure if I might have done something to cause the stall and it did not reoccur, that is until the next fill up today. Fortunately it was not as big a deal today as I was driving at a higher speed (40 mph) at a different location and all that happened was brief loss of power and stumbling over a distance of about 1/4 mile and then resolved itself, which caused no threat to safety like last time. However it proved that there was a problem that consistent with 2 refuels in a row. After searching the internet for these symptoms, it would seem that lots of people are having this problem with 2004 and newer Chrysler minivans and other models, due to a defective valve in the evaporative emission system in the top of the gas tank that can only be fixed by replacing the entire tank at a cost of about $600.

After I fill up the gas tank the van stalls within a couple of minutes. This has happened numerous times and has almost caused several accidents.

2005 Dodge caravan sxt stalls unexpectedly at highway speeds and at low speeds shortly after being fueled to a full tank of gas. This has been happening more often after the mileage has gone over 100000 mile. It has been starting back up after it stalled but has taken longer to start with each passing stall. If I disconnect the negative battery post wait a few moments and reconnect the van will get me home till the next day when the stalling start again. After the gas tank is below 3/4 the stalling issue go's away. In it's current condition not a very reliable or safe automobile for any family to be using on the highways.

Took ownership of the vehicle in January 2014. Nearly every time the gas tank has been filled up (to full), the vehicle will run ok for a brief period of time, it will then begin to buck and stall. This happens at nearly any engine speed. Once the vehicle stalls it is difficult to restart for one attempt. After the gas tank gets just under full the operation is completely normal. This is dangerous as usually you are in traffic.

Every time after refueling the car with a full tank, after about a mile of driving the engine will stumble or die altogether. This causes loss of power steering and power brakes.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle jerked and then stalled. The failure occurred after the contact filled up the fuel tank. The dealer stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

My tank showed I had 1/2 tank of gas and ran out of gas this has happened also at 1/4 tank of gas I am afraid I will run out of gas on a busy street or highway also my gas pedal sticks some times I am afraid it will stick some time and will cause an accident thanks.

Nearly every time the we fill the tank full of fuel the engine shuts down after leaving the station. Typically it will happen mid turn while pulling out of the station or else within a block of leaving. When it happens the steering stops working normally. We have to shift the vehicle to nuetral and restart it and then put it back in drive and go.
