Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Dodge Caravan owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
I purchased a 1995 Dodge Caravan on June 12, 2004. It was having a fuel injector problem and the dealership I purchased it from repaired a fuel injector. 9 days later gas fumes filled the cab and the vehicle caught fire on the left side facing the engine. I got myself & 6mo old daughter out and the fire dept. Put out the fire. Engine completely burned, hood. Have detailed photos. Dealership won't take responsibility, Dodge won't respond. I want to know what caused this.
Driver left car to open gate. Driver smelled strong odor of gasoline. Stopped engine. Raised hood. Saw wet fitting on gas line. Pulled back plastic sleeve. Gas line was rubbed through. Started engine, checked line. Major fountain of gas spraying over engine! Stopped engine, with no fire, a true miracle. Cut back hose, slipped over exposed stab fitting and applied hose clamp. No more leak. Will take to dealer for repair this week. Discovery was just pure luck. The cause was a wiring harness link from the carburetor that was tightly routed across the rubber gas line. The plastic sleeve concealed the damage. The sleeve showed no wear, but the rubber hose inside was rubbed through. I was lucky. A looser loop of wiring harness would have avoided the problem forever.
Manufacturer's incident report 8962625 / NHTSA similiar report 702363 01/16/1999 / my original report 749642 original part (2) fuel lines have been saved for inspection if necessary / additional NHTSA reports of engine fires 810648 03/30/1997 and 978765 01/07/1996 ... Question "were these engine compartment fires caused by fuel line leaks"
Gas is leaking from vehicle everytime consumer parks car. Mechanic said it was the corrosion of the sending unit. Consumer is having almost the same problem as the recall on Dodge neon 1996 96V228000. Consumer feels this is a manufacturing defect.
Drove vehicle over metal debris left in road. The debris ruptured the fuel tank and fuel spilled into the road and onto rear of vehicle. Fire dept arrived & sprayed foam chemical on fuel. Took vehicle to dealer and entire fuel tank system replaced. Mjs
While driving 30 MPH the vehicle will stall, causing loss of power steering and braking ability. Dealer replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter which only temporarily remedied the problem. Please give any further details.
The gas guage was malfunctoning due to gas tank sending unit failure. The consumer wants the manufacturer to reimburse him for the repairs because the repairs were unusual and shows the vehicle lack of quality.
The engine stops and stalls at about 25mph. Has to been revved up in order to get it started again. Dealer replaced fuel pump, but stalling continued. Dealer can't find the problem.
The vehicle experienced the same problem as stated in recall # 00 v 268 000, however the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall.
