| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 grand caravan and lately, everytime i fill it up, it stalls out on me a few times. I almost got hit pulling out onto a highway last week. I called the dealership and he was aware of the problem. Said i should not fill the tank because it would overflow on some valve causing the stalling. He had other customers complain. My question is, why is this not fixed?. I need to fill my tank as i travel a lot. I don't want to stop and get gas often. And i sure don't want to get hit trying to leave the gas station. I got online and looked up complaints. Here is just one list i found. Http://en. Allexperts. Com/q/chrysler-repair-807/f/stalling-refueling. Htm with this being a major problem with so many, i think chrysler should have a recall for the safety of so many people. I never had a problem until recently so this tells me, something is faulty in the gas tank. As soon as i fill it and drive off, it stalls, once it's driven a while, it works fine. I think the dealership is wrong to cover up the real problem. |
