Fuel tank was leaking all over driveway and garage. Took to dealership which could not find the problem. Took to a locally owned garage which said the fuel strap was cutting into the tank. Tank was replaced at a cost of $493. Major concern with leaking gasoline into my garage which also contains a gas water heater which could have ignited my home.

When I took vehicle into the local plymouth dealer to have the problem looked at, the service manager commented that this was the third gas tank that had to be replaced in the past two weeks. The gas tank on our minivan developed a crack and the gasoline would leak out onto the driveway and also would fill the occupant area with gas fumes. I do not believe that I caused this gas tank failure -- I would like to you look into the possibility of a recall.
Gas tank warped resulting in leakage. Mjs
Engine stalled numerous times without warning after slowing from high speed. In each incident, stalling occurred while slowing after driving at highway speeds for extended periods (1 hr or more) during hot weather (80deg of higher). One incident involved stalling on I-95 during rush hour. Traffic slowdown caused speed decrease from approx 60mph to approx 40mph when engine stalled suddenly and without warning. Van was immediately put into neutral in attempt to restart while coasting.engine started right up but then stalled again immediately. Had to coast across two lanes of heavy traffic to get van off road. Waited several minutes to restart. Engine restarted ok. Kept foot on gas to prevent restalling. After 2-3 minutes, engine ran fine again. Latest incident involved engine stalled just after entering turn at approx 15-20mph. Van had been driven at high speeds (50-70 MPH) for approx 2hrs prior to incident.
