Fuel rail cap leaking gas intermittently. Fire safety hazard and environment issue... contacted Chrysler with no success and pointed out that the fuel rail design on my 2001 Town and country 3.8 liter aluminum intake engine is the the same fuel rail design as the 2000 model that has a recall for gas leaks and fire. Chrysler would not extended the recall to my 2001 Town and country 3.8 liter. To NHTSA, please put my 2001 Town and country 3.8 liter on the recall list so Chrysler will fix this design, fire hazard and environment issues at their cost. * a note the similar model years 03-07 3.8 liter Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Chrysler engineering re-designed this fuel rail and completely removed the fuel rail cap that leaks so frequently.. hummm....... see attached pdf for model year 2000 recall

2001 Town and country limited 3.8 liter engine. **engine fuel rail fuel leakage and failure**. getting raw gas pooling on the top of the engine leaking from the fuel rail cap on the top of the end of the fuel rail(driver side of rail). I looked into this issue on earlier models and the 2000 model had the same problem with the fuel rail and **there was a recall for the year 2000 ** I have that same exact fuel rail on my 2001 van but Chrysler would not fix it?? they told me my 2001 van was not on the recall list. ** this fuel leak is **dangerous! could catch fire leaking on the top of the engine. This should be a recall for my 2001 Town and country 3.8 liter engine. I have not fix this because of the high cost and a manufacture safety issue. If my van catches fire because of this I want this record. I tried many hours with Chrysler dealer and Chrysler corporate to get this fuel rail leak fixed by them with not success. ** please help me with this to get my 2001 van covered by the prior fuel rail recall. Thank you in advance for any help.
