| Description of the problem | Starting about a year ago, my 2006 dodge grand caravan engine stalls after refueling, usually when making a turn, but sometimes when just driving straight. A few times i have almost been in serious accidents because of it, the most serious stall occurred in a busy intersection. The stalling occurs after about 90% of my fill-up times. It occurs on the first drive after refueling but i don't know when it will happen. I called dodge and spoke to jarred on 3/2/2015 at 1:00pm but he would not say if dodge/chrysler has any knowledge of the problem. He just said that it is not on their recall list. I hope that the nhtsa can push dodge to create a recall for this problem, which i believe is a defective gas tank or part of the gas tank. |
