The fuel line from the gas tank came off spraying gasloine all over the undercarriage and exhaust. Lost approximately 8 gallons of gas in a couple of miles. There is a high potential for fire should this happen again. The vehicle was inspected only a week before.

My wife was driving with the kids in the car all of a sudden the van shut off luckily she was on our street I had a friend who is a license mechanic he came over.he checked for codes in the dash but revealed none. He then looked under the van to see the gas tank had collapsed at first he thought it was from the result of hitting something. We had it towed because it wouldnt start. He put it up on the rack to see the the straps were still in tact. He said that the gas tank had just plain collapsed. He then called the dealer to ask them if there was a recall on this item they said how many miles they proceeded to say 78000 the dealer said if there was about 40000 they would cover it. My mechanic buddy also said that there was a bulletin out on this problem but not enough complaints to make it a recall.the ironic thing is the gas tank is plastic so I had to pay $940 for repairs. I called daimler Chrysler and they gave me the run around!I am a little upset because my wife and kids could have been seriously hurt if the gas would have leaked out and ignited. Could you please help me.
