“Whever I fill up the gas tank, the car starts to stall and jerks and stops all the way. It displays engine light and goes into cruise mode.

“My 2007 dodge grand caravan se can be easily shifted into gear while in auxiliary power, and it sometimes locks out my brakes, as there is a locked steering wheel you can't steer it and can't turn it on without shifting back to park which can be difficult if the brakes lock. A child could easily set it in gear if you are running the air and you leave the car briefly, I do not have kids but I do run some taxi work in the neighborhood. It could be done anywhere as long as it's in auxiliary power to radio and electrics but not fully on”Owner report · Steering · Jan 2020
“After almost every fill up vehicle stalls when going down road. After researching the problem I found the vapor/liquid separator valve is defective. Evidently this is a common problem and a safety issue in my opinion. To be driving down the road and your vehicles shut down is dangerous. Why does the manufacturer not have a recall on this problem.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Nov 2019

“As I was driving in town the vehicle started running very rough, I pulled over into a parking lot and then it wouldn't run at all. I had it towed to an auto repair place. They replaced a sensor.
