I was driving down highway 60 when my van backfired. I thought it was a blown tire & started pulling off the highway. When pulling off the highway I noticed the orange glare off the side rails on the highway. That's when I realized that the van had caught on fire under the hood. Once I pulled over I had a friend call 911 to report my van on fire while I tried to open the hood & put the fire out. The hood was to hot to open so I grabbed everything I could from my van & stayed clear of it until the Arizona fire dept & Arizona highway patrol came. All my information was taken by the Arizona highway patrol. I was told that my van will be at J&S Towing & that my friends & i can leave the scene.
Leaking fuel rail cap 2002 Dodge Caravan is leaking gas all over the spark plugs engine and electrical parts when 1st turning the vehicle on in the morning.
We have been smelling the smell of gas for awhile, today it got alot stronger, we had just put gas in the van and we thought may some had gotten spilled on the outside. When we stopped to wash it I looked underneath and saw a huge puddle of gas forming on the ground. Come to find out there had been a recall in October 2002. Looked on my carfax and it doesnt list that as being repaired. We could have been killed.
The contact owns a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact noticed that the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics. The mechanic detected a leak in the fuel system. The mechanic stated the fuel tank was collapsing and expanding. The mechanic referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated there was a manufacturer's recall in effect, but the contact's VIN was not included in the recall. The contact also noticed the speedometer was not providing a reading. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
