My family began noticing a gas smell several months ago. It was more noticeable when exiting the vehicle and when in a closed garage. At first I thought it might be from some gas spill on fueling. I did not see any leaks on the ground or in the engine area. I just had the van serviced at the dealer and was told there was a gas leak. Upon closer inspection it appears there is a very slow leak (seepage) coming at the connection off the fuel pump and fuel line. This looks like a twist-off connection. The dealer told me it would cost $96/hr to pinpoint and diagnosis the exact problem. I just found another person on the web with the exact same complaint. I have not yet had an "exact diagnosis" or repair made. *tr updated 03/26/13*lj the consumer stated the fuel pump was inspected and replaced by a local dealer. They confirmed the pump was leaking through a cracked housing. The gas tank was stained by the fuel leaking down upon it.
When one drives away after refueling the gas tank the vehicle quits running. It will restart. This will happen for the first ten miles or so. Other dodges are having the same problem.
This complaint is about another 2004 dodge caravan that stalls after filling up the tank. The problem is that the stalling occurs without warning-I.e. In the middle of crossing an intersection or,say, pulling out of the gas station into traffic! Spoke with chrysler this morning about it and they seem oblivious to the problem. Kind of hard to believe since all you have to do is google "caravan stalls after filling up" and there are thousands of complaints online. Mechanics are aware of the problem but the general public only seems to be aware after the occurrence! Please take some time to check into this before some little kid gets hurt.
This complaint is for a 2004 dodge caravan the problem occurs when the gas tank is filled. The vehicle stalls and runs rough for several miles and sometimes many more. I believe the defect is the liquid/vapor valve built into the top of the fuel tank. It fails and allows fuel into the evac canister and vapor lines which could explode or cause a fire as they are not designed to hold gasoline. Chrysler seems to care less. I'm sure when people start to burn to death something will be done. Thank you
Consumer smelled gas, the passenger became ill. Consumer parked the vehicle and a passerby told the consumer not to start the vehicle because, gas was all over the street. The vehicle was towed.
