FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON REFUELING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A DELAYED STALL, MEANING THAT THE VEHICLE DOES START WITHOUT HESITATION; HOWEVER, WITHIN A FEW YARDS OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT STALLS UPON BRAKING TO YIELD OR TURN JUST AFTER FUELING. ONCE THE VEHICLE STALLS, IT CAN BE RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM DOES NOT PRESENT ITSELF AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE MAY STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF ENTERING A BUSY STREET POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH EACH FILL UP BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DOES TURN OVER, IT TAKES LONGER TO DO SO EACH TIME AND MAY EVENTUALLY NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. INTERNET RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTIC FROM A CERTIFIED MECHANIC INDICATE THAT IT IS THE LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER MINIVANS. THE VALVE CANNOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. THE VALVE CANNOT BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. BECAUSE THE VALVE IS CONSIDERED AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM AND THE GAS TANK IS NOT, SOME WARRANTY COMPANIES WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THIS PLACES THE CONSUMER AT RISK BECAUSE THE HIGH COST MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE AND THE CONSUMER MAY OPT TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING IN LIEU OF REPAIRS. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER SHOULD EITHER RECALL OR ALLOW THE VALVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.

I AM REFERENCING SAFETY RECALL R03/14V-373. I HAVE BEEN ASKING THE LOCAL DEALER JACK KEY MOTOR CO OF ALAMOGORDO, NM FOR THIS RECALL TO BE FIXED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. THE PARTS MANAGER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO SEND OUT ANY, AS THOUGH THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES, BUT THIS IS NOT A TIMELY REMEDY FOR A RECALL THAT "COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUTOFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH."
