Strange engine issue?-GCaravan 05

Thanks for your reply.
I have never done that with this car except once.
In fact, I don't think this caravan allows that.
I did it once the very first time we bought it,
and realized it won't let me do it (keeps releasing
the handle latch).
I now stop fueling the moment latch releases.

I hope there are other reasons for this.

Take the vehicle to the dealer and see if there is a PCM reflash for this
vehicle. The engine computer may need to be updated with new software.
Since you dont specify engine size thats about all the info I can give
you on this. If the vehicle is still under 80k there should not be a
charge you for this.

I also have a 2005 Dodge Caravan and it does exactly the same thing.
After we get gas, usually while we are turning the car stutters and
often just dies. After we re-start it the car runs fine. We have tried
leaving the car running during fueling and shutting it off, same
results. We are not overfilling, when the hose cuts off we just pull
it out, no trying to get a few more drops in. I think there should be
a service bulletin on this. I can't imagine that we have only 2 people
with exactly the same problem.
