Tank Assembly problems of the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan

Gas pump malfunctioned, causing overfill of gas tank. Gas tank system allows for capture and evaporation of overfill. Vents for air flow in vehicle allow gasoline fumes/vapors into passenger compartment of vehicle. This creates a problem if you have passengers or need to use the vehicle. All occupants are forced to sit inside of an enclosed vehicle with gasoline vapors. Brought concern to dealer and dealer said vehicle was operating within design parameters and advised not to overfill tank. Overfill was not intentional and dealer advise does not correct problem. Dealer stated that the evaporative system was mandated by federal government regulations. Dealer also stated that all new cars have similar systems and if they are overfilled fumes/vapors will be present in passenger compartment as well. I believe that this is a design/manufacture problem that needs to be corrected. Dealer will not work with me but only states that the system is working the way it was designed. I am not comfortable putting my family/children into the vehicle and driving it while it is full of gasoline fumes/vapors. As a career firefighter I recognize that gasoline is most volitile in the vapor state. I have brought this information to the manufacturers/dealers attention and have been told that there is nothing that they can/will do.

The top of the gas tank came off and witin 40 miles I lost 10 galons of gas.

This is my second 2002 Grand Caravan. . . The first was purchased on 10/23/2001 and on the way home we smelled strong fuel vapors, the check engine light came on, and it started running rough. Dealer could not determine problem and we were given a replacement 2002 Grand Caravan on 10/24/2001. . . . I later found out that this replacement vehicle was built on the same day and same production line as the previous 2002 I had. . . And only one other vehicle was produced between them. The vehicle I have just started to have the same problem as the previous one (strong vapors, check engine lite), and was diagnosed as having gas tank/pressure relief valve problems. Since the vehicles were built on the same line/day, and since it is a gas tank/vapor problem, am concerned about the safety of all Grand Caravans built on that line on/around that day.
