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.
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.

- 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.
