2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Fuel system Problems

“Sitting idle at a stop light and my van stalled. While I tried to start it again, it began to accelerate on its own. It will stall while driving and lose all power and the steering/ brakes get hard. It will begin to accelerate on its own while the brake is pushed. I had it diagnosed yesterday and it is a melted wiring fuel rail harness that was placed right above the exhaust manifold. It can melt and catch fire. This is a known problem with this year and model. Please help!”

“Ruptured fuel line spraying gasoline onto muffler. The fuel lines are plastic and are attached to the fuel filter and are replaced together as a unit. The plastic line had a quarter inch rupture. This filter had less than 30k miles and was about a year old. Why does chrysler use plastic fuel line? I do not know the cause - a weak inferior plastic or a sharp stone perhaps. Either way, it does not matter. I have never seen a hard plastic used for fuel delivery. The old style rubber fuel hoses would be much better and safer. …”

“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.”

“Fuel lines leak,fuel filter clogged, won't start,paid 100.00,dlls, to get fixed, my van started stalling, got home from work, next day didn't start at all”

“Nothing unusual leading up to this. Had a check engine light. When we brought it to the dealer, there was a small leak on the fuel filler neck. The car was only 5 years old and is washed, garaged every night, and taken care of. Fuel necks should not be failing in such short time.”
