The fuel sending unit needle will jump from side to side and the light will come on/off intermittently. Ts the clockspring was inoperative, the fuel module needed to be repaired, the gas tank indicator light blinked and a tone sounded. The vehicle seemed fine for a while, but the problem had come back constantly. Scc
Consumer states that the fuel pump failed, ausing fuel to leak which caused the engine to smoke. Ts
Vantage conversion van fuel line failure. Service order reads: "ss rubber fuel line was installed by whomever install wheel chair carriage from gas tank to frt of engine. Rubber line rotted away. Found fuel line leaking from top of engine replaced line from fuel tank to fuel rail."
Consumer states that while driving the vehcle had stop for gas after picking up the vehicle the day before from the dealer ship where the recall for fuel leakage was done, was pumping gas when the gas spilled all over the ground at the gas station. Dealer notified. Nlm
While driving at any speed and with no warning fuel tank cracked, causing fluid to leak out. Dealer notified.
Fuel tank leak occurred at a platisc weld point on the top of the tank where a line went in. This tank is essentially a static component and a leak at a weld joint I consider is a manufacturing defect. I've taken a few autos beyond this amount of mileage and years without any fuel tanks failures of this type. This failure appeared during vacation when parked on a grade with thefront of the van pointed downhill. This caused a rather large pool of fuel to sit on the ground, enough for the local officials to send a fire truck to the scene. When I returned to our van it was determined by the fire offical that it not be driven. The van was towed to a chrysler dealer ship and the next day the leak was found. They could not supply a tank but since the leak was on top said it was safe to drive as long as I filled the tank no more than three quarters full. I proceeded home and had the local moncks coner dealership repair the van. I called the chrysler customer service 800 number to see if this was a covered recall or alert bulletin. It was not. They would not even consider paying for a portion of the repairs. Like I said before a failure of this type is unacceptable and can be very unsafe do to the great possiblity of fire. Please look into this for me. Thanks leif
Recall 00 v 268 000//fuel leakage: dealer: dodge of bellevue, bellevue, wa; phone# 425/454-8411, is uninterested in honoring the recall. Been waiting over two month and still no word for a appointment. Feel free to provide any further information.
A distinctive gasoline odor occurs when the fuel tank is filled to it's maximum capacity. Teh dealer was aware and indicated the entire tank needed replacing. Consumer suspects the problem was only with the o ring and not the whole tank.
Chrysler denied my claim that this was related to a recall on 1-17-02. Can you advise me of any options? It appears that you list this problem as campaign id 00v268000. No safety defect listed.
A gasoline odor is detected while riding in passenger compartment during normal operation of vehicle. This odor can also be detected when standing next to vehicle while it is not in use. An independent mechanic has examined vehicle, but cannot determine cause of problem. *ak independent mechanic does not perform engine work, but installed new air filter, consumer is reluctant to take vehicle to dealer due to potential charges.
I just read that a recall is pending on this problem. We had the original recall work done on the van, but have experienced periodic episodes of raw fuel smell in the cabin. Our local dealer said they had done all the work covered by the original recall, had no responsibility for more work, but would make repairs at our expense. This is amazing, the kind of irresponsible and reckless situation I see on 60 minutes, but have never personally experienced before now.
Ther was a strong fuel odor outside of vehicle, consumer had taken vehicle to dealer, who noticed a leak at rollover valves. Dealer stated that entire fuel tank needed replacement. *ak consumer stated problem seems to have been in existance for a number of years, also air condition not cooling properly, and the fan motor blower seems to be inoperative.
My wife was driving our five year old plymouth voyager minivan in town and another driver warned her that gasoline was spraying from the vehicle. She stopped in a parking lot and looked under the minivan. Gasoline was gushing from the gas tank at a very high rate. Had this ignited, there would have been an explosion that would have enveloped the whole vehicle. My wife called me at work. Because of the serious safety and explosion hazard, I told her not to restart the car and I had the car towed to our local chrysler dealer (naylor chrysler in ann arbor, michigan). Their service department found that the fuel tank had collapsed and deformed separating the fuel pump and gasket from the fuel tank and creating a large gap. The vehicle is a well maintained vehicle with only normal highway usage and with no modifications, no accidents of any kind, and with all the original factory installed fuel system parts. The naylor chrysler service department replaced the defective fuel tank and associated parts. The cost was approximately $610. I called chrysler corp. At (800) 992-1997 and stated that if a safely-related defect exists in a motor vehicle, the manufacture must fix it at no cost to the owner. The chrysler representative verified with the dealer that the takn had collapsed and separated from the fuel pump and that the vehicle was unmodified and original and not in an accident. The chrysler report filed is file no. 8907052, dated jul 25, 2001. Chrysler stated that they would not pay for this safety repair because tha vehicle exceeded the 3 yr., 30,000 mile warrantee and there was no recall. I do not expect a five year old, well maitained, original equipment, accident free vehicle to have a serious fuel system failure that could easily cause a fatal explosion. I requested the dealer to save all defective and replaced parts and make them available for inspection by chrysler corp. Chrylser corp. Declined to inspect the parts.
While driving at any speed vehicle completely shutdown without warning due to a problem with fuel pump. Problem occurs when fuel tank is full. Dealer recommends that tank remains at half to prevent problem. Please give any further details.
Seam on top of fuel tank came loose. This caused an excessive amount of fuel spillage. Vehicle is presently at the dealer shop. Provide any further information on this matter.
When fuel tank is a quarter of a tank full fuel leakage occurs, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Front motor mount very bad and engine rocks back and forth and sometimes jerks when coming to a stop. Heater doesn't work on all setting for air. Steering bad, knocks on rough streets and makes bad noise when turning the steering wheel. Smell fuel inside of the vehicle when putting fuel in the tank and sometime smell it when regualar driving.
Fuel was leaking in engine compartment from "o rings" which could cause an engine compartment fire. Also, recall existed for same type of problems, but this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN. *ak the recall number was 00v268.
Mechanic noticed a leak that looked like it was coming from fuel pump.
My vehicle was an underbody fire.vechicle was recalled for fuel pump safety.
Leaking rollover valve on fuel tank. I spoke to daimlerchrysler on 12/19/2000 about safety recall #665- fuel filler tube rollerover valve & ground strap (the federal safety agency 95v236000) an was told that since my vehicle was built nine (9)days (on 8/19/95) after the recall end date 8/10/95 that they would not be willing to replace the tank. I was informed that I would have to replace tank at a cost of $697.02 then send in receipt for review. I feel that since I have seen many cases in your office of defects investigations files ( odi-835261, odi-814712, odi-510678, odi-801764, odi-853149, odi-986406, odi-809874, odi-870842, odi-523381, odi-547150, odi-974927, odi-974005, odi-811247, odi-980479 & the federal safety agency action # ea97002, pe95053, pe96051,) that daimlerchrysler should step up and replace this at no cost since this is a known product failure. This is a "potential fire hazard" as their recall notification states. The servicing dealer has also perform other safety recalls to this tank # 670 filler tube ground strap (the federal safety agency id 96v002000) & 845 fuel pump module seal once again all related to a fuel tank concern which does show that this vehicle was effected prior to their cut off date of 8/10/95.
Recall 99v216000. After vehicle was repaired under recall 00v268, vehicle started to leak fuel when filled. Dealer has repaired vehicle three times, and problem still exists.*ak the dealer replaced the entire gas tank, consumer states that the problem appears to be fixed now.
Even though van has been serviced under recall # 99v216000 twice on 2/21/00 & 2/25/00, there is still a strong odor of gas fumes inside van when fuel is put into tank. Odor lasts for about 1/2 hour.*ak dealer stated that during fueling, gas fumes get under the vehicle which is normal. The windshield wipers come on when turn signals are turned on and sometimes while driving over bumps, the windshield is scratched because of this, this problem has been taken to the dealer 4 times.
Consumer is being refused recall (99v‑216) from the dealership for unknown reason.
My family and I have been driving around in this vehicle for three to almost four year with a recall on the fuel pump parts problem which has been stated in writing by the damiler chrysler corporation has caused a under body fire if not corrected. My question is and concern with this is how long have I had this car with this problem of a possible under body fire. My four girls and I have smell some kind of burning chemical smell when driving the car tha comes from under the hood into our car making us all sick comming and going in this car and giving us all migraine headaches. For three years we have suffered with migraine headaches when driving in this car only. My husband has another car and we do not get sick in his car, of course we don't smell the fumes either. It seems that the chrysler coorporation took care to cover themselves with a recall on this part but took no part the fatal driving conditions that they exposed my family to. I am devastated emotionally with the knowledge that I have been driving myself and my kids around in a potential bomb. I am now having to take out the time to get my kids medically checked for any poisonus chemical exposure and myself. My airbag does not work and hasn't for a while and is suppose to be some kind of safety feature. Will that be the next recall? I do not expect to have to treat a corporation that I trusted to sale me a safe car to drive for me and family that they would sale me a leathel weapon,and expect to take off work to get the mistakes they have made corrected on my time. I would like some type of justice.......for my and my families health and peace of mind, knowing that our saftey does matter,and that this negligence will have a consequence.
