My friend's 05 or maybe 06 T&C did this last summer, the first time when
they were out of town, of course. I can't remember what they did to it.
I'll see if he kept the paperwork to see what was done. It was a
warranty fix though. They gave him a new Aspen to use as a loaner for
the day. His family buys a lot of cars from them, and they really suck
up to him.
I wonder if he needs a new canister or whatever the hell they call it.
My old Trans Am's canister was totally full of gas, and did all kinds of
odd stuff, making it dump black smoke out the back at various times, and
it took a while to figure it out.
