Chrysler Concorde fuel system problems in other years

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.

On september 5, 2004, mr. Robert galenty of iselin, nj, petitioned the agency to conduct defect investigations of certain model year (my) 1993-1997 vehicles produced by daimlerchrysler corporation.his petition identified three issues of concern: 1) fuel leaking from the fuel injector rails; 2) brake fluid contamination resulting in brake failure; and 3) susceptibility of the vehicle frame to damage while the vehicle is being towed.mr. Galanty alleged that his 1996 dodge intrepid had each of these three problems.concerning fuel rail leakage, daimlerchrysler commenced a recall (98v‑184) of approximately 722,600 vehicles to address engine fuel rail leaks that could lead to a fire, including those vehicles cited in the petition and the petitioner's 1996 dodge intrepid.on october 7, 1998, the federal safety agency opened a recall query investigation (rq98-018) to evaluate the adequacy of the recall remedy.that investigation was closed on july 8, 2002 without requiring further action by daimlerchrysler.very recently, on june 9, 2004, the federal safety agency denied a petition (rp04-001) to reopen rq98-018 after finding that there was no new information that would indicate any basis for reopening it.this is still the current position of the federal safety agency on this issue.concerning brake fluid contamination and frame alignment, a review of the federal safety agency's database shows no other complaints on either one of these issues on the vehicles cited in the petition.

Strong smell of gasoline coming from the engine compartment on my 1996 chrysler concorde lxi 3.5l VIN f. This car was bought used in september 2010 and the odor has become much stronger in the past 3 months. I am fearing a fire may occur. Gas mileage has greatly decreased to about 12-15 MPH.
We smelled gas from the engine area. Upon further inspection noted a leak in the fuel injection system . Gas was dripping every 1 second near the o ring by the outlet fuel rail. Help!. This vehicle is not a 3.5l engine but a 3.3l 1996 chrysler concorde. I know the 3.5l had a recall on this did the 3.3l have one also and noone notice????? Also when you put the floor shifter into gear I.e. Drive, the vehicle does not move forward, or if in reverse that either. Then it jerks into gear almost like the shifter or leavers are not working. I have had this vehicle looked at for transmission problems and that is not the issue. I do believe it may be a shifter issue and then the o ring leaking gas like a dripping faucet.
On 03/21/2007 I was coming from work and smelled gasoline, on having my vehicle checked by a local mechanic, it was discovered that the fuel rail and the fuel line had become disengaged. As I had the fuel rail changed under a recall order back in 11/2007, I contacted the dealer that had completed the work back then. I was advised that if it was their fault the repairs would be made at no charge. If not I would be charged $75 per hr. It was agreed that the dealer would pick up the vehicle on 03/22/2007. As of 03/25/3007 my vehicle had still not been picked up. I am unable to drive said vehicle because of "gasoline" squirting out from the disconnection and pouring out on the highway and on the vehicle.
Leaking fuel injector on my 1996 chrysler concorde. I believe that this was a recall item that was not repaired properly. This ia a low mileage auto which is driven by a senior citizen.
Steering rack replacement in 1996 chrysler concorde is very costly and problematic. Had I known about such an inherent bad design I would never have purchased this vehicle, let alone any chrysler product. My particular unit has failed at the low mileage of 110,000 and became dangerously close to failure! Furthermore, during the repair process many other components had to be replaced due to the required tear down to access the failed steering rack components. In addition to the steering rack failure, the fuel rail gaskets also failed in leakage at the same time.
Consumer was informed fuel was leaking from the seals for the fuel rail, the mechanic told consumer there was a recall regarding the issue, however consumer stated the recall had already been performed, the mechanic stated the original seals were still on the vehicle and had not been replaced.
