2007 Dodge Caravan Problems

UNKNOWN. AFTER REFUELING, IF YOU FILL UP THE TANK ALL THE WAY THE CAR WLL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER ONCE YOU START DRIVING. THIS MAY HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES. YOU WILL LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. IF YOU HAVE ANY SPEED AT ALL, IT IS PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN. THERE ARE MANY OTHER DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM POSTED BY MANY PEOPLE AT HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/GRAND_CARAVAN/ 2007/FUEL_SYSTEM/FUEL_PROPULSION_SYSTEM.SHTML

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THERE WAS A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (PUTMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 3 CALIFORNIA DR., BURLINGAME, CA 94010) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CONTACT WOULD BECOME SLEEPY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THIS WAS DUE TO CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERING THE VEHICLE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THE FLOORBOARD WAS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO CRACKS AT THE FUEL PUMP. GAS CAP LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. HAD IT REPLACED A WEEK AGO AND IT HAS COME ON AGAIN AFTER PAYING $1,800.00. WHEN ORDERED FROM THE DEALERSHIP THEY SHIPPED IT OUT CRACKED AND THE MECHANICS HAD TO HUNT DOWN ANOTHER. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE.. MECHANICS STATE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. HOW IS THIS NOT ON A RECALL? *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE FUEL PLACE, AND I WAS AT A GREEN LIGHT MAKING A LEFT TURN AND DURING THE LEFT TURN MY VAN STALLED!! ANOTHER TIME AFTER THIS, DIRECTLY AFTER FILLING UP GAS I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT NOT FAR FROM WHERE I FUELED UP, WHEN MY VAN SURGED FORWARD! THIS IS APPARENTLY AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" UP TO THE 2005 DODGE CARAVAN FOR A FAULTY VAPOUR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE MY VAN WAS A 2007 NOT A 2005 THAT THEY COULDN'T RECALL IT. THIS IS SO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY WON'T EXTEND THIS WARRANTY.HAD SOMEONE BEEN COMING WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT AND MY VAN STALLED I WOULD'VE BEEN T-BONED. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET.
