2002 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel system problems

Filed Sep 19, 2023 · Fuel system · AZ · fire

I was driving down highway 60 when my van backfired. I thought it was a blown tire & started pulling off the highway. When pulling off the highway I noticed the orange glare off the side rails on the highway. That's when I realized that the van had caught on fire under the hood. Once I pulled over I had a friend call 911 to report my van on fire while I tried to open the hood & put the fire out. The hood was to hot to open so I grabbed everything I could from my van & stayed clear of it until the Arizona fire dept & Arizona highway patrol came. All my information was taken by the Arizona highway patrol. I was told that my van will be at J&S Towing & that my friends & i can leave the scene.

We have been smelling the smell of gas for awhile, today it got alot stronger,we had just put gas in the van and we thought may some had gotten spilled on the outside. When we stopped to wash it I looked underneath and saw a huge puddle of gas forming on the ground. Come to find out there had been a recall in october 2002. Looked on my carfax and it doesnt list that as being repaired. We could have been killed.
