2004 Chrysler Town And Country

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE FULL WITH GAS AND DRIVING AWAY THE VEHICLE WILL BUCK, SURGE OR STALL AT RANDOM TIMES IN THE FIRST 2-5 MINUTES OF USE. TRICKY PULLING OUT OF LOT OR INTO TRAFFIC AS CAR WILL STALL AND MAKE VEHICLE HARD TO TURN. CHRYSLER SAID THE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE WERE WILLING TO SPLIT THE REPAIR WITH ME.($700 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET). SO I JUST DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY. CANT SELL OR TRADE THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT BLOOD ON MY HANDS IF SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND RESTARTING ENGINE THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHIN THE FIRST 100 YARDS OF TRAVEL. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES ALWAYS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING, ENGINE POWER RIGHT AS YOUR ARE TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MULTIPLE SERVICE SHOPS BOTH CHRYSLER AND OTHER AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING ENGINE RUNS ROUGH LIKE A SEVERE MISFIRE CONDITION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IF A STOP IS MADE DURING THIS MISFIRE TIME FRAME A STALL OFTEN OCCURS. FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR OFTEN HELPS "POWER THROUGH" OR CLEAR THE CONDITION, BUT NOT IN EVERY OCCURRENCE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME FUEL IS ADDED REGARDLESS IF THE TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY (UNTIL PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY) OR PARTIALLY (PUMP CUT OFF BY VEHICLE OWNER). STATUS OF TANK AT TIME OF FILL UP ALSO DOES NOT HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TANK IS HALF, ONE-FOURTH, OR THREE-FOURTHS FULL, PROBLEM ALWAYS PERSISTS AFTER FUELING. THIS CONDITION IS NOT DEPENDENT ON WEATHER CONDITIONS, CURRENT MAINTENANCE STATUS, OR BY WHICH GAS STATION OR PUMP IS USED AT THE STATION. NO MIL ILLUMINATION (EXCEPT WITH BULB CHECK AFTER STALL) AND NO CODES STORED TO RECORD INCIDENT IN PCM. NO HISTORY IN PCM TO INDICATE AN ISSUE. SUSPECT THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH EVAP OR FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. *TR

AFTER FUELING, LEFT THE STATION AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE WHEN THE VAN'S ENGINE STALLED AND THE VAN LOST POWER. IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS SINCE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT COASTED TO A STOP. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM CAUSED BY A FAULTY VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. *JS

FOR THE PAST YEAR, AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, OUR VAN WOULD START TO SHUDDER AND SOMETIMES STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE STATION. IT WOULD RESTART AFTER A MINUTE, BUT STALL AGAIN, ESPECIALLY AFTER A LEFT TURN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS AGO WHEN MY WIFE FILLED UP, AND SHE AND MY YOUNG SON WERE COMING HOME, AND TURNED LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ENGINE STARTED DYING AND THE VAN SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND JUST QUIT. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THE LIGHT AND PULL INTO A LOT ON THE RIGHT. THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT, BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. IT DID RESTART AGAIN, AND SHE BROUGHT IT HOME, THOUGH THE VAN RODE VERY ROUGH, LIKE THE ROAD WAS BUMPY, WHEN IT WASN'T. I READ 30-40 STORIES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, ON VARIOUS MODEL YEARS. MANY OF THOSE STORIES ARE ON THIS VERY PAGE, FOR OWNERS' COMPLAINTS. BUT AS OF NOW, CHRYSLER IS OFFERING NO REPAIR FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FAULT. PLEASE, CHRYSLER, HELP US WITH THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS WIDE-SPREAD AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE O FILL THE TANK IT THE FUEL DISPENSER WOULD SHUT OFF AS THE GAS WOULD BACKUP. THEN THAT WENT AWAY. THE NEW ISSUE STARTED. AFTER A FULL FILL UP OF THE TANK , AND DRIVING ABOUT A MILE OR SO, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. ON 5/2/2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER FULL FILLUP. I FILLED UP THE TANK. DROVE ABOUT A MILE AND WAS AT A TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING AS IT LOCKED UP DUE TO ENGINE BEING OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR JUST BEFORE IT HIT THE GUARD RAIL AT THE TURN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THIS WAS THE CLOSEST COMING TO AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL WHEN WE TOOK LONG TRIPS. CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE WE LOOSE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL. THE WAY TO GET BACK IS TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL (WHILE IT IS MOVING) AND TURN THE CAR ON AND THEN SHIFT IT TO DRIVE. *TR

EVERY TIME WHEN FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALLED (BUT YOU CAN START UP ) WILL RUN ROUGH FOR 4 TO 5 MILES AFTER THAT ENGINE WILL BACK TO NORMAL CONDITION, I HAVE KNOWN A LOT PEOPLE HAVE A SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE TYPES OF VEHICLES, THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A DESIGN FLAW. ABOUT 75,000 MILES IT STARTED TO STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR ON RAILROAD TRACKS. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THERE TYPES OF VEHICLE. *TT

MINIVAN STALLED AFTER FUELING UP. TOOK THE VAN IMMEDIATELY TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. THEN AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER FUELING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THEN THE VAN ALMOST STALLED THE NEXT TIME FILLING THE TANK UP AND ENTERING A HIGHWAY (GAS PURCHASED IN A DIFFERENT STATE AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION). THEN AGAIN AFTER FILLING UP WITH A PREMIUM NAME BRAND SUPERIOR FUEL AND A GAS ADDITIVE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOT SURE WE CAN TRUST DEALER AFTER MISDIAGNOSIS THE FIRST TIME. *TR
