Had dodge dealer in Manteca, CA diagnose after first stall half a year prior and they would not replace faulty new tank. Still had to pay diagnostic fee saying fuel liquid was getting into vapor…

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

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…

gasket around fuel pump failed allowing gas to pool on top of fuel tank under the back seat on passenger side . this resulted in a strong "gas/fuel" smell from fuel vapors colecting inside the car and the obvious risk of ignition/explosion and negative health effects of breathing said fumes .the vehicle has not been inspected yet because we are afraid to start the vehicle let alone drive it to the shop . We are making araingements to have it towed to the repair shop . we…

Once fueled, the engine will consistently stall from start to cruising speed, and has even shut off while driving. There was an issue with Chrysler fuel tanks evap valve sticking open, which causes this fault, however I have not received any assistance from Chrysler or any authorized dealer.

My Fuel Tank is stuck in open position, it is making my car stall, sputter, and cut off. When my gas is very low car doesn't cut off and runs fine, but when I fill car up it stalls and cuts off, this is very dangerous it cuts off at red lights, stop signs, slow traffic, I've seen this is a Warranty/Recall problem with the faulty fuel tanks, with stuck open fuel shutoff valve. My car is running at max fuel because of this problem. It's been like this since I bought car 2…

The car will just shut off while driving or at rest. My safety and other people on the road is unsafe in the vehicle because when it shuts off in the middle of the road the steering wheel is also not working. The car has been to multiple shops with each shop guessing what could be the problem and fixing what they think may be wrong and after 2,000 dollars the car is still stalling out while being drove. No lights or diagnostic test come up with anything that could cause the…

Fuel leaking through gas gasket under rear passenger seat near electrical components. Gas Fumes fill vehicle cabin when fuel tank is full and could be ignited by a small spark. No warnings of issue on dashboard. EXTREME DANGER!

Gas puddles inside under rear seat causing strong smell of gas in cabin. Replaced oring gasket however that was not the problem and did not fix the issue. Still have not confirmed where the leak is coming from....it could be the plastic line, plastic nipple that the line connects too, or the plastic housing fuel transfer pump. Still unsure where it's leaking lots of gas.

When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank…
