FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHAT ISN'T WRONG WITH MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. SLOWLY EVERYTHING IS WRONG AND I'M FINDING OUT IT'S ALL RELATED. FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS POSSESSED WHEN THE WINDOWS ROLLED THEMSELVES DOWN. THEN IT WOULDN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS TILL IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. NOW IT NEVER WANTS TO START AND WILL SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I LOOSE ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. I KNOW WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT ON THE LIFT GATE THAT THE VAN IS NOT GOING TO START. MOST RECENTLY THE FUEL PUMP KEPT RUNNING WITH THE VAN SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD. IF IT DOESN'T SHORT OUT OR WHAT EVER IT DOES TO ACT COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAVE READ THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) BUT THAT CHRYSTLER HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. SO I WILL BASICALLY BE PAYING ABOUT $1200 FOR A NEW DEFECTIVE PART OR DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE VAN AND HOPE I DON'T LOOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GASOLINE OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP. LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH DODGE DURANGOS AND MINI VANS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS THAT WHEN FILLING UP FOR GAS, IT OVERFILLS AND SHOOTS OUT GASOLINE. VERY COMMON - TOO BAD NO RECALLS FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES NOT JUST A FEW MODEL YEARS OR MAKES, WHICH HAVE THIS RECALL. AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST A FEW YEARS/MAKES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. WHEN THE VAN IS RUNNING AND IN PARK IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UNLESS I PLAY WITH THE KEY (JOSTLE IT AROUND) THE SHIFT LEVER THEN IS VERY HARD TO SHIFT (AS IF IT IS HALF ENGAGED). WHEN THE VAN IS OFF I TRY TO START THE CAR BUT IT DOESN'T START UNLESS I REMOVE THE KEY AND PUT IT BACK IN NUMEROUS TIMES. THE KEY HAS COME OUT WHILE IT WAS RUNNING AND I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR OFF UNTIL I PUT IT BACK IN THE IGNITION AND PLAYED WITH IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. FROM THE FORUMS I HAVE READ THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE RECALLED IGNITION PARTS BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ON THAT RECALL LIST? THERE IS NO KEY-CHAIN ON THE KEYS AND NEVER HAD ANY.

POWER TRAIN
MY VAN WAS BOUGHT NEW BY ME AND HAS AROUND 51,111 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A MONTH AGO TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING OUT OF IT. THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SEALED, NO WAY TO CHECK IT'S LEVEL OR CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE OLD 1/4 INCH TUBE THAT USUALLY WOULD HOLD THE DIP STICK IS MUCH SHORTER (ABOUT A FOOT) THAN A NORMAL TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO FIND IT. IT IS ONE OF TWO TRANSMISSION LINES GOING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND GOING TO THE RADIATOR AND THE LEAK IS IN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE WHERE YOU CAN'T GET TO IT WITHOUT DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION... DODGE HAS A 100,000 WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE BUT THIS LINE IS OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION SO THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT PART OF THEIR WARRANTY... REGARDLESS THE TUBING THEY USE HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN 100,000'S MILES WITHOUT HAVING THIS NON-MOVING PART TO FAIL. I HAVE THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT COVERED. SO HOW DOES IT GET REPORTED. I HAD TO PAY OVER $500 FOR THE WIRING HARNESS IN MY AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS THAT OBVIOUSLY THE LOWER ARM ON THE DOOR KEPT RUBBING AND RUBBING UNTIL IT FRAYED THE PLASTIC COVERING CAUSING MY WIRING HARNESS TO BREAK BUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN THEIR WAS NO RECALL YET SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF AND THEN AROUND 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH I HAVEN'T GOT I.
