| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

| Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problems | |
| Tank Assembly problems |
When the gas tank is filling up, the gas nozzle continues to shoot gas out of the tank. This has happened every time we have filled our tank up regardless of what station we were using. Local Dodge dealer said it was not related to the vehicles fuel system or design. This is a big safety hazard because the vehicle builds up a high static charge due to the fabric seats etc. Can be quite a shock which is not good to mix with this gasoline problem.
Van stalls a few minutes after re-fueling tank to full level. Tank is not topped off beyond what auto shut-off nozzle at station allows. Stalling quite often happens when driving back onto main streets from gas station. All power braking and steering is lost when this happens which presents a very dangerous situation especially in heavier traffic conditions. Van must be completely stopped and restarted. Once restarted, vehicle does not exhibit problem until next fill up.
