Fuel leakage from the fuel rail leaked onto the engine, resulting in vehicle fire. Dealer has been notified. Maufacturer has been contacted.
I think that is enough to tell you this model has defects too many to mention. I think dodge should allow some sort of renumeration on repairs or a nice reasonable discount on future purchases since this is my second dodge.
Defective fuel line leaks which can cause a fire if there is a source of ignition. There is recall 98v184000. But this vehicle is not included in the recall although has the same problem. Please provide further information and VIN#.
Vehicle was involved in engine compartment fire. Fire dept informed consumer that fire may have been caused by a fuel injection system leakage. The federal safety agency has a recall concerning: chrysler/fuel leakages # 98v184 000. Can the federal safety agency provide addtional information on this matter.
The fuel rail was defective and repaired on three occasions, with additional repair to the fuel regulator. However the fuel rail is included prior to recall notice (98v184000), but the fuel regulator is not.
Vehicle's suspension has had continued problems, tie rods experienced excessive wear, vibration unable to be corrected. Mjs
Fuel rail o-rings leaking, prior to recall (98v‑184).
Replaced fuel rail, tie rod and bushing failure caused difficulty in steering and alignment problems.
Gas leak at fuel rail and fuel injector, causing spark plugs to short out, repaired prior to recall, after repair continued to have problems with rough idling/hesitation and missing. Upon 2nd visit found carbon build up in number 1 and 6 cylinder, and arcing at end of #4 wire, all repaired as well as 2nd replacement of fuel rail o-rings. All problems due to gas leak. (98v‑184)
Fuel rail o-rings, fuel rail, outlet side fuel rail defective, dealer does not have immediate access to parts.
Vehicle shuddered & broke down. Towed to dealer. Mechanic noticed fuel rail leaked oil on engine. Manufacturer allowed garage to repair. Had picked vehicle up & was driving & smelled fumes in vehicle. Took it back & mechanic noticed "o" rings seals leaked & replaced them. Took vehicle back & was driving when it broke down again. Towed to dealer & had fuel pump & pressure regulator & other parts replaced. Still experiencing problems with fuel rail.
When vehicle is starting off to drive or when sitting still, it shakes and vibrates excessively. Dealer contacted and is aware of problem. Repairwork done and problem still exists. Also, intake manifold and engine gaskets appear to be leaking. Provide further information.
Was smelling fumes inside vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer. Informed fuel injectors were leaking fluid. Vehicle not under recall (#98v184000), but had same problem.
Transmission failed.
Fuel leaking on engine from tubing linking the fuel rails. Dealer said they could not help only recall was on the 93 model 3.3 liter...repaired by local mechanic.
My fuel injectors began leaking in november. The smell of gas is so bad that the car can only be driven with the windows down. It is a fire waiting to happen. I have taken it to the dealer twice with no satisfaction. I was told last week and again this week that the problem will be fixed under recall. The problem is that the dealers are unable to order the entire fuel rail to fix the problem. Instead they are to wait on a kit that can be used to fix fuel injectors. This kit is undoubtedly far cheaper for chrysler. Two dealers told me today that if they even order the fuel rail, the oder will be denied. They have no idea when the kit will be available. So, I'm stuck with a potential bomb and no way to get it fixed. I realize that the federal safety agency is not an arbitration board, but thought you should be aware at how poorly chrysler is responding to the recall. As you can tell from the mileage on my car, I rely on it for work. I am stuck with rental car charges until chrysler decides to send the parts to the dealer.
Fuel rail o rings cracked, causing a fuel leak which could cause a fire. Recall #98v1840000 cpncerns a 3.5 liter engine. Whereas this vehicle is a 3.3 liter engine. Please provide further information.
Replacement part unavailable from dealer ( part pulled from shelf ? ). Dealer indicated "national back-order" on fuel rail. Dealer refused to address problem until "officially notified by chrysler".
Strong smell of fuel inside passenger compartment and on outside of vehicle. Next day 12-30-98, we started car and looked under front end. It was pouring fuel onto ground. Dealership has said that it will be several weeks to get parts. However we are not going to drive this vehicle until fixed because of extreme fear of fire. Dealership refuses to provide another vehicle to use in the meantime. Very disappointed in service!

Stopped at mcdonalds, saw smoke coming from under hood. A man got out of his car and said my car was on fire. He went into mcdonalds and got a fire exsinguisher and put it out. The firemen said it looked like it started at the trottle body and injector. Also the mechanic said it looked like it started at the fuel rail. I noticed the recall on here and have been told that chrsyler has not determined which cars are affected. My extended warranty will not cover this because fire was involved, and chrsyler will not cover it because they say they are not aware of any recalls on my car. My auto insurance will have pick this up and I do not think this is right.
