Why Does the Grand Caravan Stall After Filling Up the Gas Tank?

Has your 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan engine ever stalled after filling up the gas tank? A petition filed last month to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) claims the van suffers from a gas tank defect.

To be fair, I tend to stall after a big turkey dinner as well, but car's aren't supposed to do the same thing. Yes, it's a double standard, Grand Caravan -- but them's the breaks.

NHTSA says not only will it look into the matter for the 160,000 Grand Caravans mentioned in the petition, but also any other Chrysler minivan with a similar gas tank design. This isn't the first time Chrysler vehicles have been under the spotlight for stalling engines after a getting a full tank of gas.

We'll let you know if anything comes of the investigation.
