NHTSA Complaint #10669895 — 2007 DODGE CARAVAN

EVERYTIME WE FILL UP THE CAR IT STALLS AND DIES WHEN YOU DRIVE AWAY. THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE CAR. THE SCARIEST TIME IT CUT OUT AND STALLED WE HAD JUST FILLED UP. WE WERE AT A STOPLIGHT TURNING LEFT. YOU HAVE TO YIELD TO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC (WHICH HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY) WHICH IS TRAVELING 55 MPH. WE PULLED OUT TO TURN LEFT THE CAR DIED. AND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO LOCK UP THERE BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING MY FAMILY AND I. WE HAVE BEEN FILLING ONLY HALF WAY UP IN GAS TANK AROUND TOWN. WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING. WE JUST TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ENOUGH GAS IN BETWEEN TOWNS. WE WOULD HAVE TO GET GAS ONLY WERE WE COULD EASILY HOP ON AND OFF THE FREEWAY. IT WOULD DIE AS WE PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION. I WOULD RESTART AND DRIVE AWAY. IT WOULD THAN BE FINE ON FREEWAY. ONCE UP TO SPEED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL FIGURE OUT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE GETS INJURED FROM IT. I CALLED DODGE WHO SAID THEY HAD NO REPORTED ISSUES OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
