1993 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel system problems

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL

THE CAR HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AFTER I STARTED IT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW GAS ALL OVER THE VALVE COVERS AND IT WAS COMING FROM BOTH ENDS OF THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE. I WAS VERY LUCKY IT DIDN'T START A FIRE AND BURN MY HOUSE DOWN SINCE THERE WAS FUEL ALL OVER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND WIRING. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER TO ORDER A NEW PART. THIS SEAMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN HAVE DEADLY RESULTS.

I PURCHASED A 93 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN 8/05. ON 8/29 I HAD TO EVACUATE KATRINA (BILOXI,MS) TO NC. I PARKED THE VAN AND WENT TO WORK ON NORWEIGAN CRUISELINE IN HAWAII. I RETURNED TO NC LAST WEEK. UPON STARTING THE VAN TODAY, GASOLINE WAS LEAKING OUT ONTO THE MANIFOLD FROM THE FUEL RAIL O RING. I CALLED DODGE ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS TOLD IF IT WAS A 1996 THEY WOULD FIX IT, BUT EVEN WITH THE THREAT OF A ENGINE FIRE IF DRIVEN, THEY WOULDNT HELP ME. I AM WAITING (LIKE MANY OTHERS) FOR FEMA $ AND NOW HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THEREFORE WHY I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT. DO I HAVE ANY RIGHTS OVER THIS?????

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

TRANSMISSION DELAYS GOING INTO DRIVE AND IT GOES INTO (LIMP MODE) MANY TIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR, IT WILL ONLY STAY IN SECOND GEAR. IF IT DOES SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR YOU MAY BE DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHIFT DOWN INTO SECOND GEAR HARSHLY.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND GRAND CARAVAN THAT I'VE HAD WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER ON 9/12/01 TOLD ME THIS DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 00V268000 WOULD NOT BE COVERED FOR MY MODEL SINCE IT WAS A 1993 MODEL YEAR. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME AND PERHAPS THE CAMPAIGN SHOULD COVER ALL MODEL YEARS TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING. DUE TO LOCATION OF EXHAUST SYSTEM LOCATION, AND HIGH PRESSURE <40PSI AND MORE> FROM LINE, THIS COULD RESULT IN CAR FIRE. IN TALKING WITH 3 DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS HERE IN THE CENTRAL NEW YORK AREA <HIGH ROAD SALT USEAGE>. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. ALSO EACH OF THESE DEALERS STOCK A REPLACEMENT PUMP OR REPAIR KIT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ARE FOR THIS PART OF THE NORTHEAST.

VERY UNHAPPY WITH CHRYSLER AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO FIX PROBLEMS TRANSMISSION IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO MORE THAN OFFER $300 TOWARD THEIR REPAIRING IT. WE MADE MANY COMPLAINTS TO THEM IF YOU CHECK THIS SITE CHECK OTHER YEARS OF SAME MODEL THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
