I replaced the fuel filter about 6 months ago and put about 6 months ago. We were going to church and the van quit on me. I pulled off to the side of the road and could smell gas. Gas was leaking almost onto the muffler. This could have been catastrophic. The fuel line shouldn't be running so close to the exhaust line. I thank god that the van didn't catch on fire.

Whenever I fill up the gas tanks on my 97 Town & Country and 98 Dodge Grand Caravan, the fuel gauge intermittently goes to empty and you'll hear the "ding" sounds. This occurs intemittetly until the gauge is halfway empty. This been going on now for over 2 years and it's annoying.

January 2003 - R & R cross over pipes had a crack. Had to replace January 2003 - 3 lugnuts fell off. Had to replace July 2003 - key cylinder locked up. Had to replace and had the car towed. October 2003 - fuel pump went bad. Part broke inside the gas tank. Had to remove the tank and buy a new part. I have a Toyota with 128K miles and it has never had any of these problems! I'm thinking about trading the van in.
