AFTER ALMOST EVERY FILL UP VEHICLE STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IS DEFECTIVE. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR VEHICLES SHUT DOWN IS DANGEROUS. WHY DOES THE MANUFACTURER NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR WILL STALL FOR SHORT PERIOD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT MAY STALL WHILE PULLING INTO HE ROADWAY. NHTSA WORKED WITH DODGE ON OTHER MODELS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO LIFETIME. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $700. DODGE SHOULD HAVE REDESIGNED THE FUEL SYSTEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS THE SAME ISSUE WAS LIFETIME WARRANTIES IN PRIOR YEAR MODELS.

AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS, THE CAR, ALMOST ALWAYS, STALLS, A FEW MINUTES INTO DRIVING. I'VE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, SINCE MY WIFE MOSTLY USES THIS CAR, AND HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES.I HAVE HAD IT STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.OF COURSE, THE POWER STEERING ALSO CUTS OUT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHICH COMPOUNDS THE DANGER. WHEN I "GOOGLED" THE WORDS "2007 GRAND CARAVAN STALLS", A VERY LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY CAME UP.APPARENTLY, THE SMALL PART CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION IS PART OF THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AND CANNOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND NOT AFFORDABLE TO MANY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES AND REPAIRING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT IN SOME INNOCUOUS INTERIOR PART OF THE CAR, IT AFFECTS THE SAFE OPERATION OF A MOVING VEHICLE!

1DP14002 · 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
