Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time. Fuel leakage from the underhood fuel injection fuel rail could result, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle fire.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a seal on the vehicle fuel rails to prevent external leakage of fuel from the fuel rail crossover tube, should the existing o-rings continue to degrade. Owner notification began on january 25, 2002. Due to the large quantity of vehicles involved in this campaign, the owner notification will be phased over the next several months. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

My van is a lemon. All kinds of electrical problems - defogger sometimes work and sometimes not, windows won't roll down, stereo speakers sometimes works, instrument panel lights go off and on, dim yellow headlights, etc. Found pin hole in head...defect in metal. Van over heated and gauge did not say it was hot. Fan went out. Now something going wrong with front end. Occasionally smell gas. The lifter head gasket now leaks oil. Van sometimes jumps in park and rolls. I can not afford to fix this stuff... Bail me out not chrysler....
Consumer contacted dealer in 11/02 for recall remedy 02v268000. Dealer had to order parts and would contact consumer to schedule an appointment. Mr. Dam contacted dealer several times within the last 6 months, and was constantly being advised that parts have not arrived. Since first contact with dealer, mr. Dam has received 2 additional reminder letters from manufacturer regarding recall.
I have smelled gas smell about a year after I got it when I would start it. They replace a leaking fuel injector in 2001 and another in 2002.when I called they told me they knew about the problem but I would have to pay for the repairs. This makes no sense because they admit they have a problem with them leaking gas. This seems dangerous to me. We were not notified about this problem yet they know about it. Why are people not being told.
There is a strong gasoline odor coming from inside of vehicle. When vehicle is turned on odor is outside, as well as inside of vehicle. Dealership is aware of problem.
Sometime the smell of gasoline in the vehicle is so strong, everyone must get out.
"o" rings replaced in 1998, 1 week later still leaking. As a result, entire fuel fuel tank was replaced under warranty. December 2000, "o" rings leaked again, repaired at consumers expense. Same problem as in recall 00v268000, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN.
Fire originated from engine area. We were pulled over by another driver who saw flames under the mini-van. As I (driver) exited auto, I was hit by explosive flames that originated from engine exiting behind the left front tire. Flames also emitted from passenger front (rt) side.driver and front passenger received 2nd and 1st degree burns. Auto was engulfed in flames within 5 minutes. Total loss. Insurance company investigated - preliminary conclusion fuel leakage.
Consumer is investigating defect on this vehicle. It appeared the fire came on in fuel pump. There were other chrysler minivans which had the same problem. Please provide further information.
