What owners wrote

Recall replacement of gas tank that might has something to do with my engine light turning on now I found out that the problem is coming through the emission control system purge (gross) leak engine code p0455 given to me by the car itself, my car will be taken to dealer on this condition monday june 16,2003 and I think this has something to do with the repair of the recall.

June 2002

I own a 2002 dodge grand caravan. The car stalls while driving. If it starts again, it stalls within 1/4 mile. You can do this only for 3 times before it finally can not be started. Brought the car to the dealership to investigate. First time they replaced the computer program module. The car worked for 100 miles, then died again while I was driving. The dealership started the car and ran a diagnostic but failed to locate any faulty codes. I asked them to take it for a test ride and see what happens.
