| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2000 dodge grand caravan mini van has a 3.3l engine. early in march 2005, i had a difficult time starting the vehicle and the smell of fuel was prominent. upon a search of fulel injection problems on the internet, i found nhtsa recall notice 00v268000. this notice describes the following problem for minivans with the 3.3l and 3.8l enginges: these vehicles have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time. fuel leakage from the underhood fuel injection fuel rail could result, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle fire. i suspect that, although my vehicle is not in the recall, my problem is the same as the problem that affected the recalled vehicles. *jb |
