If i fill up my car with gas, it will stall and hesitate. After driving for a few miles it will stop and not happen again until i fill it up again. If i don't fill it all the way, it wont do it. Please fix it!!! *tr

Nearly every time i refuel the vehicle it stalls 4-6 times in the first 5 miles. This has left me in turns without power steering, on highway on ramps without power steering or brakes, and sitting in busy intersections attempting to re-start the car. It is worse if i turn left after gassing up - car will immediately die while in the intersection. This has happened approximately 30 times in the last 10 months. *tr

The engine stalls after i fill the fuel tank to its full capacity. This stalling usually occurs within a block or so after leaving the gas station. I then have to sit on the side of the road, or in the middle of the road and wait a few minutes before the engine will re-start. Lately, i have not filled the gas tank to its full capacity. I feel this is a real safety issue. I understand that this is a problem with the…

Upon inspection found that gas tank strap is missing foam insulation between tank and strap. This vehicle is not driven in winter so it is very clear that this foam was not installed at factory. I have contacted chrysler to see if they will repair vehicle since it is out of warranty.…

After refueling, the car stalled upon moderate acceleration. I thought it was a one time issue, but took it to a dodge dealership after the third incident. They could find nothing wrong with the car. After extensive research online, i found that the problem is apparently with a purge solenoid valve that cannot be replaced without the entire gas tank being replaced, as well as the evap canister. The car has been…
