What owners say
My 1994 chrysler concord 3.3 (flex fuel) liter shuts down while in operation. My heater only blows hot air, fuel can be smelled while vechile is running, mil code 12,11,41 have been displayed,fog or mist coats the inside windows everyday,the front end of my car feel like it's going to rip loose. I've installed a new fuel filter, fuel pump, had my air conditioner recharged, new catalytic converter installed,new o2 sensers,fuel injection cleaning service performed,transmission replaced,differential replaced, outer tie rods replaced and have kept up on regularly scheduled oil and fluid changes.my vechile is not safe to drive,me and my family are in harms way from the time we get in the car until we all exit the vechile. I inspected under the hood of my car and found a large puddle of gasoline gathered on top of my front differentail housing.I called dwayne lanes dodge of everett and was told that there has never been any recalls for my car. My car still over heats,stalls,shutsdown while in motion,smells of gasoline,surges,and the rack and pinnion slide out of the lame rubber gaskets that mount them to the frame of my car whenever I turn a corner.
While driving at any speed with air conditioner or heater on there was a strong odor of gasoline inside of the vehicle. Also, there was a strong gasoline odor when standing outside the vehicle. Dealer examined the vehicle, and determined that a new fuel rail was needed.
This 1994 chrysler has had constant problems, most recent being the windhsield wipers flew up and stuck while on the freeway in the rain going 55mph. Exhaust smells bad, starter is bad, air conditioner ticks when turned off for a few seconds. As a newly single mother of 4 boys looking for employment that I can get to and from reliably, so I can take care of my family myself eventually, the last thing I ever should have to worry about is a car that is only 10 years old. Especially since chrysler is showing all the beatiful new chrysler products I will never be able to have. I love my car, but I am more than disappointed in what I still have $3,000 left to pay on a used car.
Recall 98v184000; there was a strong fuel smell in car, it was so strong one could hardly drive without rolling windows down. Consumer felt recall relateed to the problem. Consumer vehicle was not included in recall. Please provide any further information.
Hartman motors has always been reluctant to do recall repairs. On recall number 98v184000, I had to take the car back after having the repairs done, because of fuel fumes inside the car. Hartman motors tried to charge me for fixing the leaks in the fuel injectors untill I showed them the recall printout from mhtsa where it stated that they had to replace the 'o' rings also. I offered to call the federal safety agency to request clairifition on this matter. Hartman service told me that it wasn't necessary to call as they would repair the injectors at no cost to me. With this latest recall (# 99v184000), I have made two appointments to have the repairs done and both times hartman has canceled after I showed up at the appointed time. The first time they said that they ran out of the parts needed...the second time they said that they had the part, but the tool needed to install it was broken. I received no phone calls prior to the appointment time. I would appreciate some help in getting hartmen motors to do the right thing for its service customers.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
