Vehicle stalls and cuts out, after filling up tank. While driving. Dangerous. It is doing it at other times now too it is starting to do it at a longer time after fill up..
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Town and country. The contact stated the fuel gauge registered empty even though the vehicle had a full fuel tank. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle shuddered and stalled while driving at approximately 35 mph. The low oil level and fuel low warning lights were illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently. The contact called the state line Chrysler Dodge dealer, located at 1001 w 104th St, Kansas City, mo 64114, and was told to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not provided.
Every time I go to put gas in my van it acts like it is full, it keeps stopping. This is getting worse every time, to the point I am ready to trash it because no one in their right mind would want to deal with this especially in winter as I am now. I can no longer tell if I have a full tank or not. I have seen other complaints on this same issue with the same year. This problem needs to be fixed..please feel free to contact me if you need to know more.
* vehicle stalls shortly after filling up the tank. Usually it stalls while in traffic! almost have caused many accidents! * also now will not allow to pump gas into the tank unless it is at the lowest setting (20-25 minutes for a fill up).

Electronic sliding lateral door does not close nor lock; opens and slides with travel gas tank not taking fuel causing back flow when trying to use fuel nozzle at station
Engine stalls or stumbles after filling up. Has been happening since about 90,000 miles, currently at 97,500. The stall that occurred in an intersection yesterday a couple blocks from the gas station was a dangerous and tense situation but thankfully drivers around me were alert and courteous and nothing bad happened. When it stalls the steering and brakes are no longer power assisted, so a smaller driver may not be able to control the vehicle. After stalling, I put the flashers on, shift into park, and am able to restart the vehicle and continue. Sometimes it will stall or stumble a couple of times within a mile or so of the station. This is the pattern. Fill up, stall once or twice or stumble once or twice, then fine for the rest of the tank. It is interesting to me that this does not cause any engine codes to present.
Engine splitters and shuts off after filling up with fuel. Very dangerous as this can cause collision. This happens after almost every gas fill. Has occurred for about two years now. Only happens after gas fill up. I have researched problem and it seems to be a pretty common problem and Chrysler has issued a recall for minivans only a few years older.
After filing van with gas the car stalled within a mile. Limited brakes and steering. Very dangerous. After coming to a stop, the car started normally.
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Town and country. After refuling the vehicle, the vehicle stalled without warning. L.T. begnal motors co (located at 128 NY-28, kingston, NY) was contacted and informed the contact that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The mnufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
Every time I put gas into my van (Chrysler Town & Country) my stalls. I never over fill the tank so what do I do about it? it happens in the city and on the hwy.
When trying to pump fuel into tank, it accepts between 4 and 5 gallons, then spurts fuel back out of tank neck. It seems no matter how slowly you pump after the 4 or 5 gallons it just shoots fuel back at you.this occurs while at a filling station.
Just like the model before 2007, my van suddenly stopped taking fuel. It's near impossible to refuel, taking 30-45 minutes using a gas can and going slow. Refueling at a gas station is not an option. This just happened one day, after no changes or symptoms. Chrysler seems to not want to address this issue in any models further than whats already been done, though the problem clearly extends beyond just the 2002-2006. This is now basically an inoperable and expensive driveway decoration.
When I fill my van up (not topping it off)and start it to leave the gas station. I go anywhere from a block to 4 blocks and the engine sputters, stalls and many time dies. Originally this was only an occasional problem, but has increased over the past few months to the point that it happens almost every time I fill up. This is a scary problem because I've been left in intersections and traffic. Fortunately, once I turned the van off and then tried to re-start it started up. Thank god, no one has hit me. Upon research on the internet I find that this has been an ongoing Chrysler Town and country minivan problem on vehicles from 2000 going forward yet I find no recall for the problem. From what I could find there are suggestions on what to do to fix the problem, but no proven solutions. I am hoping that by filing my complaint here that someone will research it and get back to me on a solution.
My wife had just filled up the van with gas and, while driving down the road, she said she heard some "chimes"...then all power to the van shut off. No power steering, traffic in front and behind her. I see that others on this site have had the same problem after getting gas. The van only has 56,000 miles. I'll be calling Chrysler tomorrow. I did get the lifetime powertrain warranty back in 2007 when purchased. I was not pleased to read that the ntsb would not require a recall from Chrysler until more evidence ( ie motor vehicle accidents and/or fatalities) occur. My wife no longer feels safe driving the van with our two youngs boys.
