Last October, a family was traveling on I-5 in Orange County when their 1998 Dodge Caravan’s rear tire blew out. After they made an emergency stop, a gas leak near the blown tire ignited, engulfing the car in flames. Several members of the family suffered severe and permanently disfiguring burns.

A product liability lawsuit brought against Chrysler and Pasadena-based dealership Rusnak, alleges that Chrysler was aware of the Caravan’s defective, unsafe fuel tank and fuel filler neck assembly prior to and during the manufacture of the vehicle. Even worse, Chrysler failed to heed an official action by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and proceeded with the unsafe fuel system design to save money.
