 Description of the problemRoughly 4 blocks after refueling an almost empty tank, the engine in my 2005 dodge grand caravan stalled at approximately 25 mph, right before a 90 degree right turn. Because the engine is quite at nearly idle, i did not notice the engine stopped until i started into the turn. With the engine stalled there was no power steering or power brakes. If i was not a relatively strong person, i would not have been able to steer the car around the corner and to the side of the road in a safe fashion. I doubt that any other member of my family would have successfully negotiated the corner since it almost felt like the steering wheel was locked and the result would have been a significant accident at the very least with the on coming traffic. I was not sure if i might have done something to cause the stall and it did not reoccur, that is until the next fill up today. Fortunately it was not as big a deal today as i was driving at a higher speed (40 mph) at a different location and all that happened was brief loss of power and stumbling over a distance of about 1/4 mile and then resolved itself, which caused no threat to safety like last time. However it proved that there was a problem that consistent with 2 refuels in a row. After searching the internet for these symptoms, it would seem that lots of people are having this problem with 2004 and newer chrysler minivans and other models, due to a defective valve in the evaporative emission system in the top of the gas tank that can only be fixed by replacing the entire tank at a cost of about $600.
