In owners' own words
Multiple times (3 times to date), immediately after filling up the fuel tank, the engine has stalled shortly after starting the engine and pulling away from the pump. We didn't get onto the roadway before the engine stalled. After shifting to park and restarting, the engine ran normally. This stalling after refueling issue has been reported by numerous other town & country owners. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 110,000 miles
After refueling the van, the engine stalls and we loose power steering and brakes. It usually happens with in a mile of the gas station. It sputters at other times and looses power. We have changed the fuel pump but that has not resolved the issue. After doing some on line investigation it seems to have been going on with many other customers for an extended period of time.

Car stalls out after filling up at gas stations. After speaking with a mechanic and researching the issue it seems as if there is problem with the liquid separator valve and the fix for this would be to replace the whole gas tank including that valve. Unless the car remains started while filling, the stalling persists causing safety hazards on the highway and local roads. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 145,000 miles
