Vehicle hesitated first time while going 50 MPH after refueling - regular gas. Checked the tach, went to almost zero, then back up again. Rode rough for a while. Stalled first time after refueling w/ regular gas, @ 35 MPH, almost causing me to hit a curb - loss of power steering and brakes. Restarted okay. Stalled a 2nd time after refueling at red light, just 500 ft from gas station. Took 2 times to start it. When we figured it was not a bad tank of gas, we had our local mechanic check it, and we paid over $200.00 for a crankshaft position sensor to be replaced. But we refueled the van soon after, and it stalled out again. That was when I decided to look online to see if anyone else has encountered the same problem. I was amazed at how many people had complained, and were told it?s not a known issue. …
Approximately three months ago, my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled as I came to a stop sign in a parking lot. I was able to start right back up after putting my van in park. Being unsure why this happened, I drove around the parking lot a few minutes before getting on the road. It stalled one more time, but then I had no other problems and drove home. This occurred immediately after filling my van with gas, but I did not associate the problem with fueling at the time. Since that incident, this has become a recurring issue of the engine stalling only after filling my tank. When refueling now, I drive around near the gas station to insure the van is going to run. After getting gas, when I slow to come to a stop or I have stopped, the car May stall out. I have been able to restart my van by putting it in park, starting and pumping the gas peddle for a few seconds before proceeding. …

The engine stalled twice within 5 minutes of refueling. The vehicle was filled with unleaded 87 octane gas to full. The gas pump auto stopped when full, and the tank was not topped off. The first stall happened while the vehicle was idling at a stop sign approximately 1 minute after fueling. The engine restarted, but stalled again approximately 2 minutes later. The second stall occurred while the vehicle was in motion at approximately 15-20 MPH and turning left. The stall left the vehicle without power steering, and the vehicle coasted into a driveway. There was no accident because of light traffic. Under different circumstances or traffic patterns, a stalled engine leaving a moving vehicle powerless likely would cause an accident resulting in possible injury or death. This same problem has occurred approximately 5-6 times in the last 2 years, however I can not be specific on dates. …
