My vehicle is 28 months old and I am already on my third fuel tank cap. The previous two caps began leaking which was detected by my computer. The first cap was replaced just this past November, 2002. This cap had to be replaced only 8 months later. This last replacement was not under warranty because my vehicle had reached it's 36,000 miles since the first time the cap was replaced in November of 2002.

Please request that manufacturer replace faulty fuel system parts as indicated by iihs crash tests. Diamler-Chrysler replaced the part on Grand Caravan manufactured after July, 2001 as well as on all 2002 models. Obviously they took the iihs report seriously, however diamler-Chrysler is not willing to remedy the problem for those of us who purchased the pre-July 2001 manufactured Grand Caravan. Are they waiting for serious injury or death" please help. When I phoned diamler Chrysler they informed me they were not able to duplicate the fuel leak in their own tests....yet they modified the Grand Caravan in the middle of a model year??" we need to get this matter rectified before someone is injured or worse.

I have contacted DaimlerChrysler requesting a change to the fuel tank fitting to prevent the failure of the fuel system as was indicated during the test by the iihs. After this fitting was done the iihs saw no fuel system leakage nor any evidence of weakness around the redesigned part(news release 7/17/01). Please help me to get this rectified before the failure results in injury or death. Thank you. Toni bicknell.

A frontal offset crash test was performed, when the vehicle was rotated 90 degrees onto its side during the routine post-crash investigation of the underbody a stoddard fluid leak was observed near the fuel tank, the leak continued for 36 min until the vehicle was returned to its normal position, inspection of the tank showed that the leak originated from the top right side of the fuel tank where the sender unit makes a seal with the tank housing.
