AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN 2013, THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER, WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO YEARS LATER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN 2016 AND THEY CLEANED IT OUT. ON MARCH 4, 2017, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AGAIN. AS OF MARCH 5TH, THE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ON THE FRONT CRASH SENSOR IN 2010 (NTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V008000). I WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL EVERY TIME I STOP/PARK CAR & GET OUT. AFTER FEW WEEKS, CHECKED UNDERNEATH VAN & SAW GAS SLOWLY DRIPPING FROM ABOUT MIDDLE OF GAS TANK. IT WAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE FROMN THE TOP OF TANK. STOPPED DRIPPIONG AFTER STOPPED FOR FEW MINUTES, BUT FOUND OUT THAT WHILE VAN WAS RUNNING IT DRIPPED CONSTANTLY. GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM & OTHER ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKS IN FUEL PUMP. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A SPARK/HOT EXHAUST PIPE/MUFFLER CLOSE BY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMELLED RAW GASOLINE SMELL OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE AFTER RUNNING VEHICLE. OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS ON AUG 23, 2016. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE ON 8/30/16 AND SAW AND FELT LIQUID FUEL ON FUEL TANK IN VICINITY WHERE FUEL PUMP GOES INTO GAS TANK. LEAK OCCURS WHEN IGNITION IS IN THE ON (RUNNING) POSITION. DID ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH FATIGUE CRACKS IN PLASTIC TOP OF FUEL PUMP, WHERE FUEL HOSE ATTACHES. WHEN KEY TURNED ON AND FUEL PUMP IS PRESSURIZED, FUEL BEGINS TO LEAK THROUGH THE HAIRLINE CRACK. DANGEROUS, AS MUFFLER AND EXHAUST PIPE ARE LOCATED LESS THAN ONE FOOT FROM THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK!! TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR FACILITY, WHO DETERMINED FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. COST OVER $500 TO HAVE NEW PUMP INSTALLED, EVEN THOUGH THE OLD FUEL PUMP WAS STILL WORKING, THOUGH LEAKING.
