Over a year and 1/2, had multiple (at least 10) incidents of vehicle stalling while slowing down, at turns or traffic lights. Resulted in loss of power steering, brakes, and temporary loss of control onto next lane; luckily, no accidents. Multiple trips to Plymouth dealership, all inspections and costly empirical repairs are fruitless, until ais (automatic idle speed) motor replaced (throttle body cleaned, also). The mechanic stated he had seen this problem in his own Plymouth! this failure has not recurred in the 3 years since making the ais motor the likely cause of the problem. This is simply a follow-up, hopefully of some use to drivers and mechanics.

Noticed fuel leaking from fuel tank. After researching internet, etc. Found that there was a recall on the fuel rail. Took to dealer for recall work on fuel rail. Recall work had already been done on O-ring, etc. At dealer, mentioned leaking gas to dealer. Informed that valve is leaking and a new tank would be required. After further research found that this problem exists for many, many others! leak only occurs when tank is at least 3/4 full and van is parked with the front on a downhill angle! Chrysler must know of the problem?

I had been smelling gas 3 months after purchase. They recalled the O rings and changed that I thought that would releave the problem but it did not. Then in July I was park on a hill and gas started pouring out the tank so I moved the car leveled and it stoped from then on the gas smell was so bad I started having headaches, on August 22, 2001 I took to the dealer and the said it was clapsing and had to be replaced I told them is that the responsiblity of the dealer they said no that it was ware and tear and it would cost $1079.89. The smell of gas was so bad and I did not think gas tanks just go out from driving! I drive a mini van w/children in it I do not race this car in order for it to go out!
