MY 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS FOR A PROBLEM CHRYSLER HAS PUT A BULLETIN OUT ON REGARDING MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATION WITH DIAGNOSTIC CODES P0300-P0306 (SPARK PLUGS). THE LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING A 7 MONTH PERIOD. DEALER REPLACED SPARK PLUGS ALL 4 TIMES AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRAN MODULE. THEY ARE GIVING ME THE EXCUSE THAT I AM PROBABLY JUST GETTING DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUGS. I HAVE HAD A COMPUTER IN THE CAR THAT I DROVE WITH AND IT SHOWED NOTHING TO THEM AS THEY TELL ME. THEY SAY CAR ISN'T DOING ANYTHING WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. AFTER 4TH REPAIR I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK AFTER DRIVING ONLY A FEW DAYS TELLING THEM IT STILL IS NOT FIXED, THEY SAY IT DOESN'T DO IT FOR THEM AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. THE CAR BUCKS, SURGES, TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO MIS, CAR HAS BACK FIRED GOING UP HILL, NO POWER GOING UP HILLS OR INCLINES, CAR EVEN LOSES POWER GOING 55 MPH PLUS ON HIGHWAYS, WHEN LIGHT DOES FINALLY COME ON CAR WILL NOT LET YOU GO OVER 10 MILES PER HOUR, FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL BUCKS AND SURGES. THE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON AGAIN YET FOR THE 5TH TIME BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY WITH THE SAME CODES FOR THE SPARK PLUGS, AND AGAIN I WILL BRING IT BACK TO HAVE IT NOT FIXED AGAIN , BY THEM CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS YET AGAIN. I ALSO SAW A BULLETIN ON THIS SITE ABOUT A CREAK, TICK, AND POP SOUND IN STEERING COLUMN WHICH I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN LAST VISIT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING, AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, NOW I SEE OTHER PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY HAVE SAME PROBLEM,, NOT FIXED. I HAVE NO CLUE IF THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WHAT, IF ANYTHING, COULD HAPPEN . SWAY BAR WAS REPLACED FOR NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, AND REAR WINDOW MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED ALSO ON THIS CAR. *NM

DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling

Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly

This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
