What owners wrote
Vehicle brakes and steering stopped responding while vehicle was in motion. This lead to crash with a steel gate in an elementary school. Chrysler replaced a defective fuel pump but denies any problem with brakes/steering or any correlation between fuel pump problem and failure of brakes/steering. This is an update on my earlier odi 10152826 to include repair details and manufacturer/dealer response on this critical safety issue.
After refueling, my 2005 chrysler town and country loses power momentarily or dies completely. The problem happens only after refueling and (so far) only once. Usually the problem occurs about a minute or two after leaving the pump, typically as I am about to pull out into traffic. The problem has occurred every time I refill for the last 4 refuelings of the vehicle. This is a very dangerous problem. The vehicle has 48,000 miles on it.
