2007 Chrysler Town & Country Engine Problems

**THE VEHICLE STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. USUALLY IT STALLS WHILE IN TRAFFIC! ALMOST HAVE CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS! **IT ALSO NOW WILL NOT ALLOW TO PUMP GAS INTO THE TANK UNLESS IT IS AT THE LOWEST SETTING (20-25 MINUTES FOR A FILL UP).

VEHICLE STALLS A MINUTE OR SO AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK THE ENGINE QUITS WHILE DRIVING. CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. GAS TANK CHECK VALVE SUSPECTED. HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN LAST TWO MONTHS. 116K MILES ON VAN.

O2 SENSOR FAILURE. THE UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM O2 SENSORS CONSTANTLY FAIL ON THIS VEHICLE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OFTEN. I FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY O2 SENSORS WITH FACTORY OEM REPLACEMENTS 3 TIMES NOW.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE CAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION SPUTTERS, STALLS AND BECOMES NON-RESPONSIVE. LAST TIME (9/18/2016) I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. ANOTHER TIME (EARLY JUNE, 2016), I DROVE INTO THE FREEWAY RIGHT OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE ENGINE STOP RESPONDING, BLOCKING ENTIRE TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN FEW OCCASIONS AND THE CODE WAS (ACCORDING TO MECHANIC) IS THE FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. THE STRANGEST PART IS THAT ONCE IT STALLS, I CAN RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT FUELING. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW DUE TO VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR IN THE FUEL TANK AND THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM IN MANY CHRYSLERS/JEEPS MADE IN LATE 2000S. WHILE IT DRIVES FINE, THIS PROBLEM PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

CAR STALLED APPROACHING STOP LIGHT. WOULD NOT RESTART. WAS ABLE TO JUMP START IT AND TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE. TOLD THAT THE LOWER END WAS BAD AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SOME OF THESE CARS HAD A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I MISSED THE WINDOW BY LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. CLEARLY, THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH THE ENGINE ON MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STALLED. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT STARTED UP FINE BUT 4-5 MIN LATER IT STALLED OUT AGAIN WHILE TURNING INTO THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. AGAIN IT STARTED UP FINE. AT LOW SPEEDS, I NOW EXPERIENCE SOME ENGINE SURGING ISSUES. *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING MINIVAN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS EVERYTIME WHEN GET GAS. VAN STARTS AND YOU START TO DRIVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOU HAVE TO SHIFT VAN INTO PARK QUICKLY AND THEN RESTART VAN AND THEN PUT IN GEAR. CAN DRIVE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED. ONCE YOU DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES CONTINUOUS IT STOPS STALLING UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU GET GAS. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO FILL UP GAS TANK, IF CLOSE TO EMPTY, THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK THAT LET'S THE GAS STATION PUMP KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL MAKES THE PUMP STOP AFTER JUST A GALLON PUMPED IN AND KEEP SENDING THAT SIGNAL THAT IT IS FULL AND WON'T LET YOU FILL ANYMORE. HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE NEXT DAY BEFORE IT LET'S YOU FILL UP COMPLETELY WITHOUT DOING THAT SENSOR ISSUE. HOWEVER IT DOES THE STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS PUT IN THE GAS TANK. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP MY VAN THEN STARTING AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE THE ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH AND IF YOU DID NOT GIVE IT THE GAS IT WOULD STOP. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW OR HEAR OF THIS PROBLEM. IN THE NOVEMBER 2014 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS I NOTICED IN THE "ROAD REPORT" SECTION ABOUT FUEL TANK PROBLEMS WITH 2007-2008 CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I CHECKED THE WEB AND IN THE "ALLPAR.COM NEWS" THAT COVERS ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES IT HAD A ARTICLE ABOUT 2006-2007 VEHICLES "STALLING ON A FULL FUEL TANK". I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2011 WITH APPROXIMATELY 32000 MILES. MY DEALER SAID SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNLESS I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. IN THE ALLPAR ARTICLE IT STATED THAT IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE "STANT-BUILT FLOATS IN THE FUEL TANK". I AM USE TO THIS HAPPENING SO I AM READY FOR IT. I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS IN NEUTRAL IF I AM STOPPED TO ENSURE THE ENGINE DOES NOT DIE. IF I AM DRIVING JUST NEED TO BE AWARE AND KEEP ON THE GAS AND IT PASSES IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS *TR

ENGINE SHUT OFF GOING AROUND A CORNER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HAD TO RESTART VAN. *TR

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WE ARE GOING AROUND A CURVE OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. THE VAN HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY HAS TO BE TURNED ON. WE HAVE ELIMINATED ALL KEYS FROM OUR FOB. THE VAN HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY IS GOING TO BE KILLED IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD US THERE ARE NO RECALLS. WHY DOES IT TAKE NUMEROUS DEATHS IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE A RECALL? WE BOUGHT THIS VAN BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND NOW WE FEAR IT IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL OUR FAMILY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD NO POWER STEERING . I DIDN'T TOUCH IGNITION OR ANYTHING IT JUST SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND IT DID RESTART HAS NOT HAPPENED TODAY VERY SCARY. *TR

FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW WHEN WE HAVE THE A/C RUNNING IT LEAKS FROM THE FIREWALL ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN FLOOR. IF THE A/C IS RAN LONG ENOUGH WITH OUT DRYING OUT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE GETS WET ALSO. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 TOWN AND COUNTRY'S FOR THE REASON. OUR VAN WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2007 AND THE RECALL ON THE 2008'S START ON JUNE 27, 2007 AND GO TO JULY 30, 2008 MANUFACTURED VANS. I DO BELIEVE MY VAN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ON THIS RECALL BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THE A/C DRAIN CLEANED AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LEAK IS FROM THE FIREWALL WHERE THE A/C CONNECTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE VAN UNDER THE CARPET. WE HAVE SEEN IT LEAK AND I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE FIXED SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. I DON'T WANT THE CARPET TO ROT OUT AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO BE MESSED UP EITHER. THANK YOU. ALSO WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VIN SINCE WE GOT THE VAN.... WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD IT IS AN INVALID VIN IT WOULDN'T EVEN WORK ON THIS SITE BUT THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE VAN IN THE VIN LOCATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR THE REVENUE OFFICE DID TO GET IT TO WORK. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN STALLS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE ISOLATED, BUT AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD ISSUE. MY OPINION IS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 55,000 MILES. THANKS. *TR

THIS VAN HAS BEEN BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 800 TO 1000 MILES SINCE WE FIRST PURCHASED IT. THE VAN NOW HAS 91,233 MILES ON IT AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS GETTING WORSE. THE OIL IS BURNING THROUGH THE ENGINE AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS WHATSOEVER. I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY POSTS ON A LOT OF SITES WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING WHAT CHRYSLER IS TELLING THEM TO SAY WHICH IT IS NORMAL FOR AN ENGINE TO BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES WHICH IS JUST RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF VEHICLES IN MY LIFE TIME AND EVEN THE WORST BEATER WITH 250,000 MILES ON IT NEVER BURNED THAT MUCH OIL. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAN UP AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND REPAIR THEIR CUSTOMERS VEHICLES PROPERLY. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM'S AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR

AFTER FILL IN GAS IN GAS STATION, DROVE ABOUT 3/4 MILES, TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST POWER. ENGINE STOPPED, NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKE. FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON, THEN EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ONE AND OFF WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND THE BODY CONTROL MODULE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
