VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING VAN, STARTED VEHICLE AND PULLED AWAY FROM PUMP DRIVING ONTO THE ROAD APPLIED THROTTLE AND ENGINE DIED WITHOUT NOTICE JUST SHUT OFF. I AM A TECHNICIAN HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS THE ISSUE IS THE VENT VALVE ON MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ITS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK. UNLIKE MY DODGE OTHER BRANDS LIKE NISSAN HONDA ETC.. ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMER. HAD TRAFFIC BEEN BUSY WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED.I'VE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE ALL BLAMING VENT VALVE AND I AGREE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THE MANUFACTURER HELD LIABLE. DODGE ALREADY HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ON CHRYSLER 300 AND A FEW OTHER CARS AND THEY MADE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THOSE FUEL TANKS ITS TIME THEY DO THE SAME FOR THE VANS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD RUN AT A FAST IDLE THEN IT WOULD GO IN TO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP MODE. VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO SPEED AT RANDOM TIMES (MAKING THE VEHICLE BOGS DOWN) MAKING THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS GET THROWN FORWARD AND THEN BE THROWN BACK WHEN ENGINE POWER WOULD COME BACK. VEHICLE WAS ALSO GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS NOT OPENING AND CLOSING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD COME ON BY ITS SELF AT RANDOM TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY (THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR) STATING THAT WAS THE REASON FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS THEN WENT BACK TO DOING ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITHIN A FEW DAY OF GETTING VEHICLE BACK FORM DEALER. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE 2ND TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE PCM (2ND TIME THE PCM HAD BEEN REPLACE SINCE PURCHASED 12/31/2011) & THROTTLE BODY (THAT I HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE). VEHICLE WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME WITHIN A 18 DAY PERIOD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I COULD BE THE TIPM BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT ACT UP BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART, DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED (HAD TO PAY FOR PARTIAL OF THE COST) AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I FEEL THAT EVEN WITH THE TIPM REPLACED THAT I COULD STILL HAVE GOTTEN A POORLY MADE PART AS A REPLACEMENT. I FEEL AT TIME WHILE DRIVING THAT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ARE STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN, LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR NOT WORKING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM TURNING ON BY ITS SELF. ON 1/22/15 I HAD A FUEL INJECTOR GO BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, MAYBE DUE TO THE TIPM? *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER RE-FUELING. WE RE-FUEL AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS (BRANDS) AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK AND PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY TWO BLOCKS, AS IF IT IS NOT RECEIVING ENOUGH FUEL. THE ENGINE THEN STALLS. THE ENGINE CAN BE RESTARTED AND WILL NOT SPUTTER OR STALL UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WE RE-FUEL IT. WE ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE WEEKLY, AFTER EVERY FILL UP. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. *TR
