Over the period of one year my Dodge Caravan 1999 SE stopped engine cut off while going speeds of 75 miles an hour on highways. The last time I was almost hit as it was rush hour and on a very heavy traffic area bridge. I brought it several times to mechanics and they can not find out what the problem. I reported it to Chrysler and htye did not respond. When I told my story about how scary this was to someone else they said that another lady had the same issue and no one would find hte problem. I had kids in my car when it stopped once it was scary to be going 75 and the car die just die. It would not resart at first so of course a mechanic took advantage of me charging me 600 dollars for a new starter and new battery. Guess what it happen after these new items were replaced. Again Chrysler the manufacturer no response. I decided to trade in my car it was too scary shouldn't someone investigate this thing is ee Caravan everywhere and I feel sorry for the children someone may not be as lucky as I was three times. An inexperienced driver would not have been able to stop like I did at that speed. I was lucky but had the experience to stop. Please investigate this problem before someone does die.

1999 Dodge Caravan: Strong fuel oders enter cargo/passenger area of vehicle - oders also noticible outside of van. Fumes are potential for spontanious combustion. Also, exposure to gas fumes (during extended trips and over cumulative time) can be harmful to major organ components within the human body - especially to developing infants. A former complaint was submitted using ODI id: 748730 surrounding date: 09/06/2001. "component: Fuel: Fuel tank assembly: Tank summary: Smell gasoline coming from the fuel tank, a small amount of gas was leaking down the side of the fuel tank, due to the rollover valve was leaking on the fuel tank, replace fuel tank." The conclusion leads the reader to believe there's potential for ignition if vehicle should be in proximity of an unextinguished ciggarette, ex: At a stop light once a driver/passenger in proximity plucks a butt near vehicle. The findings also lead the reader to believe the roll over valve will fail when capsized contributing to catistrophic ignition/explosion.
