Despite several dealership "fixes" gas tank shifts and thumps when accelerating or stopping sharply. All electric door locks had to be replaced due to electrical "vibration"-type noises when activating. Rear brakes have "hummed" when lightly braking since new. Problem evolved into surging. Needed a complete brake job at 40,000 miles due, I believe, to lack of dealership fix before hand.

Fuel gauge light keeps going off with a full or 1/2 full gas tank. Also when putting vehicle in reverse, a hard knock would appear in front of vehicle. Dealer notified, and unable to locate/correct the problem.

The problem with the gas tank is that when I fill the tank up gas starts spilling on the ground. It is leaking from the top of the tank next to the cab of the van. I know there was a fuel pump gasket or some other kind of recall about the tanks on 96 vans and I think it is the same problem. Can you check into this please. I asked the local dealer to check the VIN number for recalls and the fuel tank problem was not for my van. Can you check into this problem and see if there should be a recall for my van also?. thanks.

The fuel tank on this van leaks when tank is full or close to full. I have noticed that fuel will drip from the top of the tank when parked and a strong odor when stopping after driving. I have been told that Dodge has had recalls on this, also consumer reports issue Jan 2000 has listed a recall on this problem. I contacted Chrysler/Plymouth and they are unaware of any recall for this problem.

If the recall for the fuel leak was suppose to begin in September 1999, why it is that this is January 2000 and still no recall on my vehicle. Talked to my Chrysler dealer today and they said that they haven't heard anything about this recall. Thank you for your time.

Fuel tank leaks. Gas puddles on the ground and can smell fumes in the van. One Chrysler dealer told me it was the rollover valve in the tank, another said it was the filler tube. Chrysler refuses to fix the problem at their cost.

Seam failed on top of gas tank and allowed gas to leaks out when tank was full. This condition poses a major fire hazard. Manufacturer agreed to pay for the tank, but not for the labor to install the tank.

Filled the tank with fuel the night before. Next day noticed odor. Checked vehicle & saw a large puddle beneath vehicle. Fuel gauge indicated a loss of fuel. Took vehicle to dealer & was told not it was not their fault that fuel leaked out. Mechanic checked fuel tank & noticed leak coming from seam at top of fuel tank. Parts would be ordered for fuel tank.

While traveling along the freeway at approximately 60 mph, I struck a piece of metal debris. Upon arrival at my home 5 minutes later, I smelled fuel and observed that the fuel tank was ruptured. I took a photo of the leaking fuel tank, which I am able to forward via the internet as a file.jpg if desirable.

Fuel tank was leaking all over driveway and garage. Took to dealership which could not find the problem. Took to a locally owned garage which said the fuel strap was cutting into the tank. Tank was replaced at a cost of $493. Major concern with leaking gasoline into my garage which also contains a gas water heater which could have ignited my home.

When I took vehicle into the local Plymouth dealer to have the problem looked at, the service manager commented that this was the third gas tank that had to be replaced in the past two weeks. The gas tank on our minivan developed a crack and the gasoline would leak out onto the driveway and also would fill the occupant area with gas fumes. I do not believe that I caused this gas tank failure -- I would like to you look into the possibility of a recall.
