NHTSA Complaint #10447381 — 2005 DODGE CARAVAN

MY 2005 DODGE CARAVAN SMELLED STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN AND OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE HE SERVICED 3 VANS LIKE MINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUE. WHEN HE LIFTED MY VAN AND STARTED THE GAS STARTED TO POUR. THE FORTUNATE PART WAS THAT I AM LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T EXPLODE ON ME WHILE DRIVING. HERE IS THE WORST PART, I CALLED RANCHO JEEP CHRYLER IN SAN DIEGO TO ORDER A NEW FUEL PUMP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS IS NATIONALLY BACK ORDERED AND IT WILL TAKE 3 TO A MONTH WAITING PERIOD AND NOWHERE AVAILABLE AS PER PARTS TECHNICIAN. IF IT IS BACK ORDERED NATIONALLY, WILL IT CONSTITUTE RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION JUST WAITING A MAJOR EXPLOSION TO OCCUR. MY VAN ONLY HAVE 50K MILES IN IT AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND ALWAYS SERVICE TIMELY. I AM HOPING THAT THE COMPANY WILL TAKE SOME ACTION IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT COSTLY LAWSUITS. I AM RECEIVING ALL MY RECEIPTS AS A PROOF WHEN SOMETHING HAPPEN. I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO COME FORWARD. MY SECOND COMPLAIN IS THE LOCK, IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IF YOU MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL DOORS. I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE IOD FUSE EVERYTIME TO RESET, THIS IS ALSO A NATIONAL ISSUE BECAUSE I FOUND THIS FROM THE BLOGS OF OTHER DODGE CARAVAN OWNERS. MY 3RD COMPLAIN IS WHY ARE MY FRONT BRAKES ALWAYS SHAKES NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO IT. I REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND PADS. *TR
