What owners say
We purchased this car with 30,000 miles on it. This is the second fuel pump failure/replacement.
Fuel leaks between the fuel pump and the engine, causing fuel to smell inside the vehicle. Dealer replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filler which did not correct the problem. Please give any further details.
Villager would not start up initially. When checked by dealership, the dealer stated that the fuel pump was unable to deliver constant fuel pressure to the engine and needed replacing. Owner is having fuel pump replaced.
The fuel pump is not able to keep a continuous pressure of fuel to the injectors; fuel backtracks to the gas tank. The fuel pump had been emitting a whine for several months prior to failure.
Power door locks failed; also electrical display functions module failure/ front end misalignment/engine noise/fuel pump noise/ leaf spring failure and replaced A/C fan motor.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: minivans. The fuel tank vent hose allows air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks have developed in the vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the vent hose.
