NHTSA Complaint #10621888 — 2005 DODGE CARAVAN

THE DODGE CARAVAN HAS A LOUD GASOLINE SMELL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PIECE OF BROCCOLI FOUND UNDER THE SEAT. NOW THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS UNBEARABLE AND EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE IT MAKES MY SKIN BREAK OUT IN HIVES ASSOCIATED WITH ANXIETY BECAUSE I THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. I TOOK THE CAR TO OUTSIDE DEALERS JUST TO CONFIRM I'M NOT CRAZY BECAUSE THE ODOR MAKES YOU SICK. I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GASOLINE SMELL I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR YEARS EACH OUTSIDE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE SAME STORY THE CAR IS A BOMB YOU HAVE A CRACK IN YOUR HUBBING FUEL LINE, SUPPLY LINE ETC, THE CRACK IS INTERNAL ON TOP OF THE FUEL LINE AND OVER TIME IS EXPANDING GETTING LARGER AND THAT'S HOW THE SMELL KEEPS GETTING STRONGER [XXX] THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT WILL KILL YOU. I CONTACT DODGE CORPORATE FRANTICALLY IN TEARS BECAUSE I TOE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT THEY REALIZE THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM I'M OVER MY WARRANTY BY 15,000.
