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.

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.

With the fuel leak we smelled a lite fuel oder at first when we started the car. The oder got stronger by the end of the month. We recived a recall notice shortly after . We took the car in for repair on 4/7/99 for the recall & bc the tires wobbled & shook the car at 30-45 MPH. They found the left inner tie rod brushinhs were worn & tire rod flopping- they replaced the tire rod 7 left toe specs. They also found the transmission oil leaking from the cooler hose.--on 11/22/99 I was reversing at 1 or 2 MPH from a parking space & then as I tried to put the car in forward there was a violent jerking ,& shaking but the car would not move anywhere at all. I got out to look & there was wheel berrings & thick grease all over the parking lot. My car was towed the next day to an auto mech shop & repars were done. Shortly after that we recived a recall notice for the problem that we had repaired. We are still trying to get reimbursed from chrysler corp. For that incident. And as of today 6/25/00 we are having problems again with the front wheel wobbling & shaking the car when driven at 30-45 MPH for about 3 or 4 weeks now. We are currently saving money to have that repaired again. We have had other problems with the car but did not include them on the investigation report bc they were not life threating---such as trunk opening on own while driving-it was fixed but trunk open light on dash panel comes on & off when trunk is closed. --the A/C leaked water on passenger floor & has a bad oder when put on. Almost like urine.
Recall 98v184000; vehicle was included in the recall, but dealer did not replace the "o" rings, and vehicle caught on fire due a fuel leak. Vehicle at the dealer.
