Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

Car will stall a few minutes after filling the gas tank. It will stall in the middle of driving on the road and will not restart for 20 minutes causing a dangerous situation.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan stalls after refueling. This issue has been happening for about 3 years when the fuel tank gets low and then refilled. Most of the time the stall happens shortly after refilling and I come to a stop light or stop sign. There have been few occasions where the caravan has stalled while in motion while travel under 20 mph. I can usually restart the caravan immediately after the stall. The only solution from online forums seems to be to replace the fuel tank and purge the valve and charcoal canister of any raw fuel. Seems like a common problem within similar models.

Car will stall a couple of times after filling up tank probably will go away after driving a couple of blocks.

Last night - for the 4th time now - after filling the tank at the gas station, my car just died. The first 3 times it was when I stopped at the stop sign leaving the gas station parking lot. Last night, it was after I was out on the main road and in heavy traffic. It was stop and go rush hour traffic, so I was thankfully only going approx 15-20 miles an hour. Power steering was lost, brakes were practically non existent. Barely managed to pull off into a parking lot and was able to set the parking brake to finish stopping. Once stopped and in park, was able to start it right back up. Every time this has happened it has been right after fueling up. I never thought much about it the other 3 times, but this time was different, and very dangerous. I was almost hit from behind because I instantly lost power, then I almost hit another car to my left because of the unexpected loss of power steering. I could hardly manage to get into the parking lot and almost hit the curb/sign/another car. Was scared to drive home the rest of the way. Now after reading the other posts here, I'm afraid to ever get gas again!!! this is unacceptable Dodge. . . You obviously know about this problem and do not care about your customers. Well, this is one customer you will never have again. I'm in the market for a new car, and guess what will not be sitting in my driveway ever again?.

On two separate occasions within the past month, the engine on my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan stopped running while I was driving. On both occasions, it was within a mile after filling the gas tank. On one occasion, it occurred while I was making a left turn across oncoming traffic; I was lucky to be able to coast out of the intersection without being broadsided. Since the engine stopped running, all power assist also stopped, so the car was very difficult to control. I have since read online that this is a relatively common occurrence with Dodge caravans, particularly with older cars. After filling up the gas tank, the engine may suddenly stop running within a short distance of the gas station. Apparently it has something to do with the gas tank venting, and the only remedy is to replace the gas tank. This is an extremely dangerous situation; it is just a matter of time before someone gets killed. There should be an alert and a recall to correct this problem.

After filling the fuel tank up, the vehicle stalls, stutters, or shuts down after entering into traffic. After it does shut down, it is typically difficult to restart. The type of driving environment does not matter - city/community stop and go traffic or highway speeds for extended periods of time. After the vehicle is restarted, we do not have a problem again until the next time the vehicle needs to be refueled. The gas tank, fuel filter, and fuel pump were all replaced by the dealer prior to 100,000 miles to eliminated a high pitched whine coming from the fuel tank area every time the fuel level dipped below half a tank. Most of the time, the vehicle decides to stall or shut off as we are accelerating to join traffic - leaving from the gas station. On multiple occasions we have almost been hit from behind because the vehicle just stops. The exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, upstream and downstream O2 sensors have all been replaced with oem/manufacturer standard parts.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan stalls after filling up with gas. Is now occurring everytime we fill up the vehicle (3 times so far). After filling the tank, the vehicle starts fine, we drive up to 1/4 mile and the vehicle stalls. Restarts after a couple of tries and no problems noted. . . Until we fill up again.

My 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan has been stalling after filling up the gas tank. It has been going on since mid Dec. 2008. I took it in to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong (no codes in the car computer). They increased the idle. It only hesitated after I filled it up after they increased the idle, but it has stalled the last 2 fill ups since then. It has stalled while trying to pull out into traffic and while stopping or slowing down.
