| For the last couple of years, every time we fill the gas tank on our 2004 town & country it stalls after driving begins. on multiple occasions it has stalled in front of several lanes of oncoming traffic. the engine totally dies and all power steering is lost. after restarting it runs fine. we have had multiple occasions where collisions have been barely avoided and this is my wife and children in that van. it has been reported on multiple online automotive forums as a common problem. the chrysler mechanic immediately new the problem when i described the symptoms. he said it is caused by a faulty sensor in the fuel tank and they see it very frequently but unfortunately chrysler does not acknowledge the problem. this is a serious safety issue and i hope chrysler decides to do the right thing and it does not take a loss of life to get their attention. i assure you that it is only a matter of time before this becomes reality. *tr | |||

| For the last 5 years every time we fill the gas tank on our 2004 town & country with gas is stalls after driving between 50 and 150 yards. on multiple occasions it has stalled in front of several lanes of oncoming traffic after pulling out of gas stations. it has also stalled in front of fast moving oncoming traffic when turning left across oncoming lanes. when it stalls, the motor quits and all power in steering and braking is lost. the van must be put into park in order to restart, which means coming to a complete stop in front of traffic. after restarting it runs fine. we have had approximately 9 occasions where high speed collisions have been very barely avoided, usually with children in the car. it has been reported on automotive online forums and from mechanics as a common problem resulting from a faulty sensor in the chrysler fuel tanks. unfortunately chrysler does not acknowledge this fact. *tr | |||

| Every time this vehicle is filled up with gasoline, (87, 89 or higher octane it doesn't matter), it starts to stall & bucks as the engine rpms fluctuate wildly from 600 to 3000 plus. this happens every time that it is filled up to full & has been going on for more than 1 year. now the check engine light is on. if i only fill it up to 3/4s or even just less than full, the stalling pattern does not occur. i have learned to expect it & either fill it up just shy of full or i drive the van like a standard, (one foot on the brake & the other on the gas). however, i feel that this is only a cheap band-aid for a significant safety issue that warrants a full recall. this issue has been reported multiple times & it would be a shame if it took a serious accident for nhtsa or chrysler to act on the problem. especially if it happens to be my wife or my two teenage age children that are involved in any accident. please act now! *tr | |||
