MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AND SMELLED GAS. SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A SMALL GASH IN THE SIDE OF THE TANK. SHE OBVIOUSLY RAN SOMETHING OVER AND IT PIERCED THE TANK. MY CONCERN IS, HOW COME THERE IS NO PROTECTIVE SHROUD AROUND A PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT SITS RIGHT UNDER MY 3 YEAR OLDS CAR SEAT? THANKFULLY SHE SMELLED THE GAS IMMEDIATELY AND THERE WAS NO FIRE. THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE IN THE FUTURE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL, TO CONTACT THE NHTSA. I HAVE ALSO SE…

I HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN. FOR THE LAST 30,000 MILES EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE ENGINE WILL EITHER GO THROUGH SOME MAJOR HESITATIONS OR IN MANY CASES IT WILL STALL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, OR IF I HAVE TO COME TO A STOP SHORTLY AFTER I REFUELED. THE VAN WILL RESTART, (WITH SOME EFFORT) AND WILL NOT STALL AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT REFUELING. SPOKE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ROLL-OVER SWITCH LOCATED IN THE TANK MAY BE DEFECTIVE, MAY HAVE BEEN SPLASHED/F…

WE EXPERIENCED A RECURRENCE OF THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED AND STOPPED WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VAN, THE ENGINE TURNS OVER AND STARTS BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY STOPS. IT IS AS IF AN ANTI THEFT SWITCH IS ENGAGED OR THE REMOTE STARTER MECHANISM MALFUNCTIONS AND STOPS THE ENGINE. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR AN HOUR, IT WAS ABLE START UP AND REMAIN RUNNING. THE VAN WAS DRIVEN THE NEXT DAY A…
