- 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.

I purchased a used 1999 plymouth voyager. When I took it to a dealer in carlsbad, ca. Bob baker, I asked about two problems I have with it. The horn doesn't honk, and the air bay light stays on all the time. I was told they'd be fixed free. When they called regarding other repairs, they said the items wouldn't be fixed free, that my particular 1999 plymouth voyager wasn't included in a recall. I objected and also found the repair costs expensive for me, and I was told to go ahead and pay to have it fixed, that "there will be a recall coming up and when it does I can show the receipts and get a refund." why are some 1999 included and others not, when they have the same problems others are fixed for under recall? Also the low fuel bell rings after you fill the tank until the tank level gets down to about 3/4 tank. ( it does ring when the fuel is low, too). I want my horn fixed, it's an important safety feature. Also the light "service engine soon" came on, and I just had a tune up, etc. I took the vehicle in to a repair shop because the dealership costs so much and it cost me $58.00 to find out that the gas cap wasn't sealing properly. The new cap I bought is imprinted with information about it having to be placed on properly. This new cap I believe is imprinted this way because of a problem that came up. I am disgusted and "broke" after having to pay for such a diagnosis and then 15.65 for the new cap.
While driving vehicle, gas fumes would enter the interior of vehicle. Had taken vehicle to dealership and was informed by mechanic the "o" rings were defective and would need to be replace. Noticed recall thru car fax and contacted manufacturer for reimbursement. Informed not type of motor under recall with same problem. Ts
The airbag illuminated, which caused the horn and crusie control to not to work, also the fuel sensor was defective which caused the vehicle to run out of gas. Ts
Consumer took vehicle into dealership for recall 00v268 000 repairs. Dealer did not want to honor recall letter. Consumer has to make dealership honor recall letter. Please provide any further information.
While driving about 55 MPH ran over some small debris on road. Shortly after she smelled fuel. Pulled over, and noticed a fuel leak. Dealer was replacing ruptured fuel tank.
