We have owned a Chrysler T&C with the 3.8L V6. This stalling after refueling problem cropped up about a year ago when the van reached about 80k miles.

Have you been to a gas station lately? They tend to be on busy streets and at busy intersections!

Will it take a death or a series of deaths to get action from the federal dinosaur agency?
