#11666755 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | | N/A miles
After Fueling on several occasions the vehicle just abruptly stalls out and it's very dangerous I notice that there is recalls on other 2006 Chrysler but mine isn't on there but I am very concerned about this as it could cause me to get in a accident
#11656550 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?
