Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up the fuel tank. The vehicle gives no check engine light or provides any obd codes to pinpoint the problem. The vehicle stalls both while in motion and when stationary, when in motion all power assist is lost including the power steering and braking assist. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle now after nearly getting into a traffic collision when the vehicle stalled while driving through an intersection and she lost all power assist with our two children in the vehicle. The vehicle will sometimes immediately restart and run for a short period of time then stall again or will just crank and fail to start. This problem only seems to occur after fueling up and topping off the fuel tank. Once the fuel tank burns off some of the fuel it seems to run just fine.
On May 9th 2019 the vehicles computer was giving strange alerts about tire pressure changing among all 4 tires. Also change oil alert on & off. Low gas alert on & off. When I arrived at work around 9 am & I parked the vehicle, brought my personal things into the office. I decided to use our compressed air to check all 4 wheels tire pressure. I put the car in reverse to back out of the parking space with my right foot on the brake pedal. As I was backing up the RPM's increased suddenly sending me speeding in reverse towards my work building. I looked at my foot to make sure it was on the brake & it was. I never touched the accelerator. The vehicle's speed increased in 3 seconds to over 40 mph. I backed through the corner of my building, across railroad tracks & into the neighboring building. The corner support beam of my building went through my sunroof missing my head by inches. I turned the engine off. Miraculously no one was seriously injured. The vehicle was totaled & it caused extreme damage to both buildings. I contacted an attorney but since there was no serious injury they didn't want to get involved. They said it wasn't worth it to them. I tried to reach Chrysler but never got a response. I was recently made aware of this website to file this complaint. I have a video from my work security camera it is not one of the type of files this website accepts
After filling the fuel tank, the motor shuts off while driving down the road. It used to only happen when you go past the first "click" of the gas pump. Today it did it by just filling the tank to first shut off. This leaves you with no steering, no brakes and no power while going down the road. This is dangerous on several levels. This happened while the vehicle was moving down a four lane road in moderate traffic with five passengers-two infants, two children and one adult.

The lift gate in the back that is commonly known as the trunk; the power immediately shut the door on my head and the impact did not cause the truck to go back up, I had to get from under the life gate I bumped my head in several places and was nauseated all day on Sunday with a headache I did not go to the doctor, I have moved 1000 miles away from home and felt I could not drive myself to the hospital.
