Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time. Fuel leakage from the underhood fuel injection fuel rail could result, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle fire.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a seal on the vehicle fuel rails to prevent external leakage of fuel from the fuel rail crossover tube, should the existing o-rings continue to degrade. Owner notification began on january 25, 2002. Due to the large quantity of vehicles involved in this campaign, the owner notification will be phased over the next several months. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When I went to visit my wife at the nursing home where she is, after I got in my van to go home I only made it a couple miles the gauges went goofy then the motor quit, I had no clue a relative owns a wrecker service so he came and towed me home. The next day I tried to start it but no luck, when I first got the van it did something just like this so I figured it could be the brain so I got one and put it in, nothing so while turning the engine over I didn't hear the fuel pump so I bought a replacement. After going through all of that it still would turn but not start a mechanic came out to look at it and see if he could figure out why it didn't start after looking at it he said that it was probably the fuel shut off relay, that's where it is,I need to find where the cutoff relay is located so I can reset it.
Leaking fuel from fuel rail in front of manifold. There is a valid recall, yet chrysler would not cover towing vehicle even though there is a dangerous situation with fuel leaking onto the engine. I very much believe that chrysler should cover towing.
When I started the car the engine was cold from sitting in the driveway all night. I smelled gasoline. I opened the hood to find gasoline shooting out of the fuel hose right where it fits into the pressed crimped metal connection. It was spraying gasoline all over the engine. I turned of the engine before it became hot. If this leak had occurred while driving, the motor would have been hot, and caught fire. The garage replaced the plenum gasket set, fuel injection, o ring, and the fuel rail. Note: the recall #rq00008 dc minivan fuel injector rail leak was done.
The dealership failed to install the seal on the fuel rail but indicated they did. The fuel injection fuel rail leaked fuel all over the engine. The vehicle was taken to another dealership who indicated that seal hadn't been installed and installed it.
Plastic gas tank developed a hole and began leaking. I have noticed that there are other reports of this same issue -- could it be a design flaw?
Fuel tank was leaking due to malfunction of fuel sending unit. Dealer contacted.
Consumer contacted dealer regarding defects in vehicle. However, consumer was told by the dealership that vehicle was not included in recall o0 v 268 000. However, consumer was in fact included in recall. Please provide any further information.
Consumer received recall letter 99v268000 for seal on fuel rail. Consumer contacted dealer ,and they stated that parts were not available. Consumer was concerned because a fire could start. Please provide any further information.
While traveling noticed gas smell inside of vehicle. Dealer has been notified, can't find cause. Please provide further information.
