Four problems related to fuel delivery have been reported for the 1997 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Strong smell of gasoline inside and outside of vehicle. On occasion it has given me severe headaches and has made my husband dizzy and sick to his stomach. The smell is very strong. I have had the vehicle to the dealership (tim parker Chrysler) here in hot springs and they state they can find nothing wrong. I am very concerned there could be a fire or an explosion. This needs to be remedied immediately. If the dealership cannot identify the problem, where might I go?.
Consumer received a recall on the fuel line assembly. However, manufacturer and dealership do not have the part to replace the defective component.
My wife and I have had several incidents of gasoline smells inside our van over the past two years. We have brought this to the attention of Chrysler/Dodge dealers two or three times. They indicated they could not do anything about the problem as it wasn't happening when they looked at the vehicle. We have recently read an article in the December 16, 2001 issue of the detroit news and free press which indicates a serious problem. We wanted to bring it to your attention that our engine size and vehicle year were not indicated in this article. After reading this article we really do not want to drive the vehicle for risk of serious injury or death. We cannot believe daimlerchrysler has been so slow in their response to this serious problem which has went back at least two years for us. Thank you!.
