What owners say
After starting car on the morning december 8,1999 I could smell gas fumes. I immediately shut car off and examined the engine. I noticed fuel leakage near the fuel injector rail. I proceeded to dealership (central dodge in raynham) and purchased 6 new fuel injectors, assuming that was the problem and the least expensive. I replaced injectors that evening and still had fuel leaking. I had my wife come out and assist me by turning the key so I could see where leak was coming from. Almost immediately after stariting the car I saw fuel streaming from the left side of the fuel rail. A fire started and I immediately put it out. After going to same dealership to purchase fuel rail I was told about the recall. They towed the vehicle into their dealership and replaced entire fuel rail assembly at no cost to me. Then came the bad news; they contacted me and told me the engine was gone and they are claiming no responsibility because they said I cannot prove the fuel rail leak was the cause of the fire. So I am currently paying someone $3800. To replace the engine and I was hoping for your assistance in this matter. Where does the manufacturers responsibility end when it comes to a life safety issue such as this one?
