general problems of the 2001 Chrysler Town & Country

My van has a severe gas smell everytime I drive it and it has cost me and my children to suffer from severe migranes I am a single mother of 5 kids with a fixed income and do not have the money to pay or repairs I am still paying for the vehicle I still owe 4000 on it and noone ever told me about recalls on this vehicle till I took it to my mechanic I have other issues as well I get regular oil changes and for some reson the engine got so hot it shot the bearings in the rods to the oil pan it is going to cost me over 300 dollars in repairs and also the ball joint snapped on the front right side there is just one thing after another going wrong with this van it is in nice physical shape but it seems like I get one thing fixed and something goes wrong is there anything I can get done about this? like I said I am still paying on it so it is not like I can just go out and get another car to replace it I have been without it for over a month now and I have to have it for my kids.

Fuel filler neck assembly was badly rusted and had to be replaced to prevent fuel leaking and keep air pollution control system operational.

Purchased the vehicle used. After 2nd or 3rd fuel fill, the engine light went on. It has stayed on. We had it checked at our local pep boys and we were told the fuel filler neck is bad and that Chrysler is going through them at a rate of 100 per week. I feel a recall should be issued and that consumers should not be forced to pay for a part that is obviously so defective on the vehicle that the rate of replacement is 100 per week.

Consumer is concerned with a potential gas leak which may occur if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision at a low speed, consumers vehicle was manfacturerd prior to the time the manufacturer redesigned and began installing replacement parts to correct the problem, consumer is requesting that the part be replaced or be given a new vehicle entirely that does not have a gas leak problem.
