- 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.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Oil pressure build up which was causing the gasoline to leak from the fuel line, and a strong fuel odor came into the cabin. The fuel tank hose was replaced, but the problem recurred.
Steering assembly shifter bolts had to be replaced. The bolts were missing. I also have another complaint in regarding this same vehicle on file with you. The other complaint deals with the transmission, radiatior and manifold.
While driving fuel was leaking from vehicle due to breakage of fuel rail. Dealer indicated vehicle could have exploded.
Strong fuel odor inside and outside the van. Dealer said to replace fuel rail hose. Vent hose was replaced from the recall.
Last fall we smelled gas. We took the car in and had the overflow hose replaced. Later, in the spring, that part was recalled. Again, this week, we smelled gas. We took the car and had the recall part put in. The next day we still smelled gas. They called me and said it was another fuel hose which is under the manifold. That is two fuel hose leaks in less than a year. That is scary. What if I didn't have $228 to replace it? This is a huge fire hazard. I am becoming scared to drive this car. Please consider this a serious problem.
