The fuel riser on my 1995 intrepid leaks gasoline onto the engine. Consumer checked the internet and found other owners as far back as 1993 having the same problem. It is definitely a design defect and a safety hazard. Yet, the manufacturer is not doing a recall and is charging 300-400 to repair the problem. A fire is inevidble so you don't have an option but to get it repaired or stop driving the car until you do so. I think the manufacturer needs to do a recall on this part and repair it for free before someone dies if it hasn't happened already.
