WHEN PARKING ON A STEEP INCLINE TWO WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS. I LOOKED AT THE GAS TANK AND SAW SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I HAVE MY SERVICE DONE.

WHEN PARKING ON A STEEP INCLINE TWO WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS. I LOOKED AT THE GAS TANK AND SAW SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I HAVE MY SERVICE DONE. I WAS TOLD BY BOB LELAND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE LEAD WAS THE ROLLOVER VALVE ON TOP OF THE TANK, AND THAT THE ONLY REMEDY WAS A COMPLETE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $809, PLUS TAX. HE SAID THERE IS ANOTHER ROLLOVER VALVE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL, BUT THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT ROLLOVER VALVE. I CONTACTED TWO PERSONS AT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE (USING THE NUMBER THAT BOB LELAND GAVE ME). BOTH PERSON, RYAN AND JULE AT 800 992 1997 INDICATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL, WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIR--OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR. I WAS TOLD BY BOB LELAND THAT THERE WAS NO GOOD REASON FOR THE ROLLOVER VALVE TO CRACK, I.E. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY TRAUMA TO VEHICLE OR ANY INDICATIONS OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY RENTON CHRYSLER BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE ORIGNAL OWNER, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I HAVE HAD NO WRECKS SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER IN TOWN (NEW CONCEPTS AUTO AT 509.747.2164). THEY PULLED UP THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, SHOWING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK, ROLLOVER VALVE, AND FUEL LINES. THEY WERE UNSURE WHETHER THE TSB REFERRED SPECIFICALLY TO THE TOP VALVE. BECAUSE THEY HAD A LOWER ESTIMATE TO REPAIR ($720 INCLUDING TAX), I GAVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO REPAIR TODAY. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VAN WITH A FUEL LEAK, ESPECIALLY WITH MY INFANT AND TODDLER IUSING CAR SEATS. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE GOODYEAR SHOP TO INSPECT FOR ANY TRAUMA TO THE TANK AND CAR, AND I AM SURE THEY WILL FIND NONE. I WILL ALSO HAVE THEM KEEP THE TANK SO THAT IT CAN BE INSPECTED ASAP. LELAND AWARE OF 2 SIMILAR CASES.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 83 IN YORK PA., MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. IT ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO DISENGAGE, NOTHING HAPPENED. I THEN CANCELLED THE CRUISE AND TURNED IT OFF, IT STILL WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. AT THIS POINT I WAS TRYING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO MY BRAKES BUT WAS STILL UNABLE TO STOP FROM ACCELERATING. I MANAGED TO GET OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND SLOWLY PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH TEMPORARILY SLOWED ME DOWN. I HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ALL THE WAY IN, AND THE CAR STARTED TO GO FORWARD AGAIN. AT THAT POINT MY ONLY OTHER OPTION THAT I COULD THINK OF WAS TO TURN TOWARD THE GRASS EMBANKMENT AND GO ON THE INCLINE AND HIT A SIGN SO THAT IT WOULD STOP MY VAN. IT STILL DID NOT STOP COMPLETELY. IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I HURRIED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. ONCE IT WAS STOPPED MY DAUGHTER AND I GOT OUT OF THE VAN. *AK

I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 1996 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS ON WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT. THIS FIRST OCCURRED ON 7/3/2001. IT WENT OFF AFTER 5 MINUTES. THE PATTERN OF THE AIRBAG COMING ON STARTED OCCURRING MORE REGULARLY AND STAYING ON LONGER. WE TOOK THE MINIVAN INTO KOON'S DODGE (FALLS CHURCH, VA) ON SATURDAY, JULY 14, 2001. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK-SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAD GONE BAD AND HAD MADE THE AIRBAG GO BAD. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $800 TO FIX IT. I ASKED THEM WHETHER DODGE WOULD PAY FOR IT SINCE HAVING AN AIRBAG GO BAD SHOULD NOT BE AN ORDINARY "WEAR AND TEAR" ITEM FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE. THE ASSISTANT MANAGER (SCOTT) TOLD ME THAT HIS BOSS (RAY RASADO) WOULD HAVE TO TALK WITH DODGE ON MONDAY, 7/16/2001 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT. I CALLED BACK ON MONDAY AND THEY SAID THAT DODGE REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. DODGE HAD SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAD GONE BAD AND MADE THE AIRBAG GO BAD. I THEN CALLED DODGE MYSELF AND TALKED TO THEIR WARRANTY DEPARTMENT (JESSICA). AFTER TALKING WITH HER DODGE MANAGER, SHE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. SHE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO ENGINEERING PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE CLOCKSPRING OR THE AIRBAG. SHE GAVE ME A CASE REFERENCE NUMBER OF 8889836. I CALLED KOON'S, THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, BACK AND ASKED WHETHER THEY WERE POSITIVE THAT THE AIRBAG ITSELF WAS BAD IN ADDITION TO THE CLOCKSPRING. THE REASON BEING THAT A REPAIR OF THE CLOCKSPRING WAS APPROXIMATELY $200 VERSUS $800 FOR BOTH THE CLOCKSPRING AND AIRBAG. THEY AGAIN SAID THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAD MADE THE AIRBAG GO BAD AND THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNLESS IT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CLOCKSPRING. I TOLD THEM BASED ON THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AND AIRBAG. THE FINAL COST WAS $816.37. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING SAFETY DEFECT ON DODGE'S BEHALF. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE PUT AT PHYSICAL RISK FOR THIS.*AK

ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN WOUND INCORRECTLY DURING THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PROCESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY WILL ALSO BE PLACED ON THIS COMPONENT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 18, 2002. 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.
Sep 13, 2000
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Aug 9, 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. FUEL CAN LEAK FROM THE FUEL TANK AT THE INTERFACE OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ATTACHMENT.
Consequence & remedy

Aug 6, 1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS. THE SHOULDER HARNESS RESTRAINT ON THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT CAN BECOME DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT WHEN THE SAFETY BELT LATCH PLATE BECOMES CONTAMINATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN RELEASING A CHILD FROM THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE LATCH MECHANISM. AN EXTENDER WILL BE ADDED TO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ANCHOR FOR THE CHILD SEAT SAFETY BELTS SO THAT THE RELEASE CLIPS ARE MORE VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE OPERATOR IN THE EVENT THAT THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED. IN ADDITION, AN INSTRUCTIONAL OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT CARD WILL BE PROVIDED.
Jul 18, 1996
THE BOLTS WHICH SECURE THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT MODULES TO THE SEAT FRAME CAN BREAK.

Jan 16, 1996
A STATIC ELECTRIC CHARGE CAN BUILD UP ON THE UNGROUNDED METAL SECTION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE.
Consequence & remedy

Consequence & remedy
