What owners say
Fuel smell from engine prior to recall, fuel rail replaced under recall. (98v‑184)
We took the car to the dealer to have a transmission line leak fixed (replacement of the line). We alos smelled a gasoline smell when starting the car in the morning. The dealer informed us that there was also a fuel leak in a line on the engine. The delaer told us that the line needed to be replaced or it could cause a fire. We let them have the vehicle and they said it would be fixed in a week. Three weeks later we were still without the car; the delaer told us that chrysler was not supplying the original factory part for replacement because the part was apparently being redesigned. We asked why an original factory part could not be installed; they said it could, but that the part might not work and we might risk a fire. Chrysler did not charge for the part, but we were out of us of the car for about 3 weeks.
Fuel smell and leakage under the hood. Leakage takes place while car is running. Two dealers new exactly what problem was without even looking at the car. They said they see 2 or 3 concordes or lhs per month with the same problem. They told me there was a recall for the 3.3 engine (for which they have not seen any problems) but on the 3.5 they see them often. The 3.5 has no current recall. Why? The leakage and smell continues to get worse.

Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- 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.
