| Description of the problem | For the past four years or so, almost every time after filling up the gas tank, the 2004 dodge grand caravan anniversary edition stalls. I can be just pulling away from the pump when it happens, or stopped at a stop light within a few minutes from leaving the gas station. You can feel the car 'jump' like someone is pressing the gas pedal quickly and it jerks the van a bit forward. Then it stalls. It takes a few turns of the key and pressing the gas pedal very quickly and forcefully to get it started again. I have gotten into the habit of driving the van around a parking lot for a few minutes until it feels back to normal before pulling out into traffic, as i'm concerned it will stall out in the middle of traffic. This only happens right after filling up the gas tank. It concerns me now more than ever since my son is learning how to drive and i want him to be safe. |
