What owners say
Fuel leakage from fuel rail
Consumer called complaining about having problems with fuel rail. Also stated that the fuel rail is leaking gas. Dealer was contacted and thee is nothing they can do because there is no recall. Ts
The fuel injection manifold failed at two swagged fittings causing a high pressure fuel leak. Upon smelling fuel while driving the car I pulled over and found the two swagged fittings on the manifold pouring gas in the engine. I shut down the engine and had the car towed to huntington beach chrysler and they replaced the entire manifold for $700.00 which I think is outrages because I feel this is a design defect because just prior to the fuel smell the car backfired twice. I wonder how many more people had the same problem and the dealers have not reported it. By the design I know I am not the only person to have this problem. There must be many, many, many more out there.
Noticed purchased more gas than normal. When started up vehicle driver smelled alot of gasoline. Drove vehicle to local mechanic and was told that gas dripping on a hot muffler could have caused a fire. Had the fuel rail replaced. *ak
