| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1996 plymouth grand voyager mini-van 3.3 liter v6 2 wheel drive broke down. apparently in the transport, loading, or unloading of the vehicle on my trailer, one of the muffler mounts became disconnected and the other muffler mount the bolt into the frame was pulled out. this caused the muffler and exhause to shift. i did not notice this prior to operation of the vehicle after performing the initial repairs that caused the breakdown (water pump / serpentine belt failures). the shift of the muffler caused my fuel line and gas tank to melt and devoloped leaks. the level in the gas tank was low enough that no gas was leaking; however, the fuel line was spraying gasoline on the underside of the vehicle and on the hot muffler. i consider myself fortunate that i did not have a fire in the event. i have yet to repair either of these leaks, and i intent to take photos prior to repairs. i did have to move the muffler to find the leaks, and that is the only work i have done at this time and i will not be driving the vehicle until the leaks are repaired. this could be applicable to other grand voyagers that pass over a large objects that could strike the muffler (i.e rocks, curbs, etc.) *ak |
