AFTER REFUELING NORMALLY, VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 10-20 MILES DRIVEN. CHRYSLER INTERNET FORUM MEMBERS CITE A BAD VALVE IN THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK FOR A COST OF $700. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE RPM'S WENT UP AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE VALVE PUMP IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE. ONE WEEK LATER THE CAR FAILED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER. THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. HAD THE TRAFFIC BEEN DIFFERENT OR SOMEONE WITH LESS EXPERIENCE BEEN DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A FATALITY OR INJURY. THERE WAS NO WAY A DRIVER COULD AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM THE REAR AT THAT POINT. *TR
