NHTSA Complaint #11004754 — 2016 DODGE CARAVAN

VEHICLE CONVERTED BY ELDORADO NATIONAL SALINA KANSAS. I HAVE A FLEET OF 530 MINIVANS CONVERTED NOW CALLED AMERIVAN. WE HAVE HAD FUEL LEAK COMPLAINTS THAT GENERATED NHTSA RECALL 16V222. THE VEHICLE ON THIS COMPLAINT BLEW A FUEL LINE OFF THE VEHICLE ABOVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. REPAIRS OUTLINED IN 16V222 HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE NEW FAILURE HAPPENED JUNE 22 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THE RELEASE OF 16V222. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET ON LOS ANGELES WITH PASSENGERS ON BOARD LOST POWER. TRIED TO RESTART A PUDDLE OF FUEL WAS UNDER THE VEHICLE. DRIVER CALLED FOR A TOW. THIS VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS IN MY FLEET WERE BUILT AFTER 16V222. ELDORADO NATIONAL BUILDS MANY OF THESE LOW FLOOR VEHICLES FOR THE DISABLED COMMUNITY, FURTHER ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM TO INCLUDE RETROFITTING VEHICLES BACK TO 2011. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ELDORADO CONVERTED MINIVANS WE HAVE MANY I USED THE LAST MAJOR SAFETY RELATED FAILURE AS THE INCIDENT DATE.
