Fuel line corroded through near engine. According to dealer this failure is unreasonable on vehicles of this age as the part supposed to be corrosion resistant. Vehicle posed great fire hazard as the leak developed right by the engine. Other fuel line also shows signs of corrosion although it has not leaked. Chance of part failure is impossible to predict and failure occurs at any speed or without the vehicle being used. Fuel lines are expensive parts and replacement is labor intensive. Owner's cost in this case was $614. Manufacturer has been contacted with a copy of the repair invoice from dealer. Ts
The vehicle was recalled for faulty o-ring and were replaced under recall 98v‑184.

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?
