What owners say
Recall 98v184000 repaired over a year ago. However, he noticed fuel leaking from engine. The consumer has yet to take vehicle to dealership to examine the problem. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
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.

Ea98007; fuel injection assembly leakage. Fuel is leaking from the fuel rail. The fuel rail was replaced about 2 years ago for the same problem. The dealer is not aware of the problem at this time.
From what the dealer service rep told me there are multiple fuel leaks along the fuel injector rail which is causing gasoline to leak. I have researched this problem with this particular engine and found this to be a problem with the eagle vision (1993) vehicle. This car has the same engine as the new yorker (1994). The eagle was recalled to fix that problem. Also I have researched the complaint database and found this particular problem many times on the new yorker and lhs. Why haven't these vehicles been recalled to fix this deadly problem?
Plastic fuel rail leaking fuel onto hot exhaust and engine. Where the fuel pressure test port attaches to the rail allows plastic tube to move and flex causing leakage at rail.

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.
