| My family stopped and got gas on our way down to north carolina for christmas. as we left the gas station and pulled across traffic our 2006 chrysler town and country began to shutter and stalled. after that day, every time we fill up the same thing occurs. i have looked over many sites on the internet and see that there not only many others that have had this same dangerous issue, but it is not just on this model of chrysler. the only way to repair it is to have chrysler install a brand new gas tank. they quoted us almost $2000.00 to replace it when the real issue is a defective vapor/ liquid valve. our van has under 60 thousand miles on it. instead of installing a removable valve at the top of the gas tank, chrysler continued to design vehicles that require new gas tanks when the valve sticks. not only is this a tremendous safety issue, my family almost was hit by on coming traffic because of this issue. after spending over 2 hours searching the internet and seeing there were windsheild wiper recalls and a glass recall, it became apparent that others will have to get injured or die before chrysler fixes this issue at there own expense. i am disappointed in this recall system we have. the internet allows us to now see the many dangerous design issues automakers have performed at our expense and our safety. i urge chrysler owners to search their vehicles concerning the vapor/liquid valves chrysler welds to their gas tanks. true or not, it is reported that some have been in accidents and died from collisions during this stalling after fill ups. | |||

| During the first incident, i lost all power to my engine, most of my gauges, and my power steering while driving 35 mph. i pulled my car over to the side of the road and it wouldn't restart immediately. the dealership had my car for aprox. 5 days and couldn't find anything wrong. about a month later, the car stalled the same as before, except this time it was right after i started the engine and began pulling up the driveway. aprox. 8 minutes later, it stalled again, with the same problems as in the first incident a month previously; however, this time i was driving 50 mph on wet country roads. i suddenly lost my heating/forced air, my engine, and most of my gauges. i didn't loose my power steering immediately. while i was still moving at 50 mph, i put the car from drive into neutral, restarted the engine, and put the car back into drive. a few seconds later, it stalled again, but i noticeably lost the power steering immediately that time. i was able to safely pull the car over, turn the ignition to off, then restart the car. i drove from there to the dealership without further problems. the dealership has had my vehicle for 10 days so far, and cannot locate or diagnose a problem. in every incident, there was no warning whatsoever. the car didn't make any unusual noises or behave erratically. one moment i had power, and the next i didn't. i simply lost the ability to accelerate my vehicle, lost my power steering, my engine stopped running, and the gauges all dropped to zero. no warning lights of any kind ever came on, and i didn't loose the electricity to my dash, radio, etc. though i lost the blowing warm air/defroster function that had been turned on. | |||

| The accelerator sticks, and excessive force is sometimes needed to acelerate. this occurred the other day and caused the vehicle to jump due to rapid acceleration. this defect could cause accidents due to drivers being unprepared for the sudden jump of the vehicle. | |||
