~tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge grand Caravan. The contact stated that their vehicle was after being filled with gas, they attempted to accelerate onto the hesitate the vehicle hesitated before picking up speed. The vehicle's failure began to occur within approximately 2 minutes of starting the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (mountain valley motors, inc. 7535 appalachian hwy, blue ridge, GA 30513; (706) 516-1053) who informed them that the check valve failed and needed to be replaced, therefore, the entire tank needed to be replaced due to where the valve is located. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case number. The manufacturer informed the contact that their vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I have had to replace the fuel pump because the housing cracks and causes a fuel leak. The plastic tube from the gas tank to the fuel pump cracks and it is continually loose. The part cannot be fixed without replacing the fuel pump. This is extremely dangerous because the gas fumes are so close to the very hot exhaust pipe. Additionally I had to be very careful not to park my car in the garage because of the risk of fumes.
