OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MINIVAN, HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS BEEN STALLING SPORADICALLY. TODAY, IT CAME TO A HEAD. WE WERE 45 MINUTES NORTH OF OUR HOUSE AND HEADING HOME. 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO GET TO THE FREEWAY AND 20 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE CENTER LANE, 3 LANES WIDE, POURING OUTSIDE, IT IS 8:50PM, AND LIGHTENING OUT AS WELL. OUR MINIVAN JUST DIED ON THE FREEWAY, WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER QUICKLY AS THE MINIVAN SHOOK TO A HALT, WE WERE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR. YESTERDAY, WHEN I TRIED STARTING IT DIED RIGHT AWAY, TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT THIS AS THEY SEE THE MINIVAN FOR THIS ABOUT EVERY MONTH, AND THEY ALWAYS SAY NOTHING COMES UP ON THE COMPUTER, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. THEY SAY IT IS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER WE HAVE FILLED UP WITH GAS. WELL, WE DIDN'T JUST FILL UP WITH GAS TODAY, AND HAVE ONLY A HALF TANK OF GAS, WHEN THIS HAPPENED. OUT OF THE COUNTLESS TIMES THIS HAS DIED ON US, IT HAS ONLY DIED 2 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CAN BE MORNING OR AFTERNOON, WE RARELY DRIVE IN THE EVENING. COLD OR HOT DAYS. CHRYSLER HAS SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE NEW KEY, AND RECALLED IT, WELL WE HAVE HAD THAT CHANGED AT LEAST 3 TIMES ALREADY. *TR
