general problems of the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan

Every time I fill up the the van dies or runs poorly for a few minutes. I is alway in traffic when it dies. I fill up and pull out into the road and it dies. Starts back at once but it is very dangerous.

Vehicle often stalls shortly after refueling. Can be very dangerous if pull out into traffic. Has happened at least a dozen times. Does not happen with every fill-up, but is becoming more frequent.

After fueling my 2006 Dodge caravan it will stall, or sputter to almost stalling then rev up and almost stall again several times. After a few times of stalling and sputtering it then runs fine. The problem is that this happens usually right after pulling out of the gas station, which usually involves pulling out into traffic. Two times this happened, before I know better now, it happened after pulling out onto the road and stalling in the middle of 4 lane roads. Luckily the first time there was no traffic and the second time I was going downhill on a straight road and was able to coast until I got the van started. Although I am aware of the problem now, this could be dangerous. Also this is a business vehicle and people other than myself drive the vehicle. My employees may not be able to react to a stall in the middle of a road as I am.

Engine rough idle after fueling and occasionally stalls on road.

Post refueling stalls. While going on long trips, after refueling in the rest areas, the minivan stalls while entering the highway causing me to panic while avoiding high speed traffic going by. This happen many time during a trip to florida from indiana.

After filling up with gas engine stalled approximately 1/2 mile from the gas station. Had to coast to side of the road without power steering. Placed engine in park, turned of key and restarted. Engine ran rough had to depress accelerator for additional gas. Once restarted engine ran fine for the rest of the trip. This same problem also occurred in early January 1/03/2015 after filling up with gas. Not only is this an inconvenience, but very dangerous in heavy traffic scenarios.

Refueled vehicle normally. Drove 1 mile, while turning corner the engine stalled completely, steering became sluggish. This has happening approximately 50% of the time after we refuel the caravan. It is extremely dangerous as we lose control of the vehicle.

I was picking up a machine in georgia, and I had to stop and get gas. I filled up with gas drove onto the turnpike and the car stalled and a truck almost hit my car as my car was coasting to get it off the highway. He hit his brakes and squealed up to my vehicle. This situation could kill someone and I read hundreds of complaints from people online. This happens on every fill up since.

Over the last several weeks my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3. 8 liter engine will stall out several times after refueling. It will restart & stall several times before the problem seems to rectify itself. All power assisted steering is lost and the vehicle becomes difficult to steer safely. Power braking is also affected. There have been a couple of occasions where I have been turning into traffic and had the vehicle stall. One time I was unable to complete the turn and stay in my lane. On one occasion I breached the lane to my left. While traffic was traveling in the same direction I was, another motorist had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting me.

Van stalls after filling the Grand Caravan with fuel. Loses steering and speed.

After fueling, the vehicle with surge and often stall with need for restart. Very frequently it does this when taking off from a stop sign which can cause a stall in the middle of an intersection.
