Gas tank seal failed prior to recall notice 99v‑216 causing leakage. Nlm
My engine has had several problems, and every time they "fix" it, something else happens. It is still sputtering and the check engine light came on again even after I spent 650.00 to have it fixed a few weeks ago. Now, yesterday they did yet another fuel system recall, and today (4/15/00) the check engine light came on and it is sputtering again. I am sick of sinking money into this van and it is not even paid for. Also, the number of fuel system and engine recalls they have had is dangerous. Most of their recalls have had to do with the possibility of the van catching fire. I hate to think about what could happen to my children while riding in this vehicle. They need desperately to put out a recall on the head gasket leaking oil. I had to have a $1,000.00 head gasket job at 60,000. That is ridiculous. I think it was due to improper repair of the oil galley plug recall, but they say that is not related, even though in the recall notice it states that "engine cylinder head oil galley plug does not seal properly and engine cylinder head oil is not adequately retained. Inadequate sealing and retention of the plug can result in oil leakage..." how can they say my van leaking oil from the cylinder head was not related? Please respond. I need some help on this matter.

My wife and I noticed from the day we bought the minivan that the gas tank would not hold the 20 gallons that it should have. We had it checked out and found out that the gas tank is collapsing. We can now only get about 10 gals. Of gas in the 20 gallon tank. Is there a possibility of a recall to fix this defect in the product?

Fuel tank: rollover valve located on top of plastic fuel tank is welded into fuel tank at manufacture. First tank failed at 6000 miles on vehicle, tank cracked around weld at rollover valve site. Fuel leakage and vapor leakage ensued until tank replaced by dealer (quality chrysler jeep plymouth eagle, albuquerque, nm in aug 1996). The replacement tank developed a leak at the same site, weld of rollover valve to tank body, in december 1998. Both tanks failed in similar manner, both failures cause raw fuel and vapor to leak continuously from tank. Problem with multi-function switch (turn signals, high/low beam, wiper, washer switch, steering column mounted. When driving, the front and rear windshield wipers will automatically turn on by themselves. First multifunction switch replaced by quality chrysler plymouth jeep eagle, albuquerque nm, late 1996. Dealer replaced multifunction switch. Problem recurred in november 1998. Dealer replaced multifunction switch a second time. Fuel tank leak at rollover valve site, and multifunction switch both failed two times in same vehicle. It is apparent that the tank manufacturing process is deficient, and that there is a basic design flaw in the multifunction switch.
