Unknown. After refueling, if you fill up the tank all the way the car wll completely lose power once you start driving. This may happen immediately or after you have been driving for a few minutes. You will lose all power steering and power brakes, making it difficult to control the vehicle. If you have any speed at all, it is pretty impossible to slow down. There are many other descriptions of this problem posted by many people at M.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/grand_caravan/ 2007/fuel_system/fuel_propulsion_system.shtml

After refueling our 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, it stalled after going less than a mile. We were making a turn at the time. We lost power steering since the engine stalled & the check oil light came on. We were able to get it to the side of the road. After turning it off for a little while, we got it to restart but after driving less than a mile & turning again, it stalled again. This has been happening after refueling off & on for the past six months. Once we were in an intersection & it happened. Thank goodness we got it restarted & out of the intersection. It was a very scary situation. We brought it to a Dodge dealership & they had never heard of the problem & didn't find anything wrong with it. We just don't know what we are to do at this point. I'm scared to drive it myself let alone let my 15 year old drive it with her learner's permit.
