Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 83 of 83, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle had a recall done for the fuel systems leakage. (#98v184000) the motor had ran hot. Vehicle had worked fine prior to the repairs. Will be taking vehicle back to dealer.
Recall work completed by manufacturer in april of 99. Approximately mid sept. 99 noticed minor gasoline fumes, thought possibly spilling of fuel when refueling vehicle. Oct. 3 starting felling nausea and headaches, thought was the flu. By oct. 10th extremely heavy fumes from vehicle even when not on. Took to manufacturer, and o-rings replaced n/c. Problem is how do I know if this is happening again. I have lost faith in the repair, and am concerned over health of my family with fumes, and possible ignition of gas. How do I know it is really fixed? Is there anyway of testing for emission of fumes periodically to ensure that they aren't leaking again. If I take to the manufacturer will they tell me, how bad it really is, or should I go to an independent testing facility? Concerned!
Owner noticed a very strong smell of fuel coming from the vehicle. Owner had vehicle towed to a gargage because of the strong fuel smell. The smell went away for a while, and then smell started up again. The vehicle has been brought to a garage 4 times for this problem. Please provide any further details.

I noticed that the dodge intrepid 3.5l engines are being recalled per the federal safety agency campaign id# 98v184000. I took a copy of the recall to my dodge dealer because my car has a fuel leak on the fuel rail. I had replaced a fuel injector on the rail in december for a fuel leak, and it ends up the rail is leaking too. The dodge dealer took the car in, with this recall number and told me on 1/7/99 that they do not have any record of a recall, and will charge me to fix the car. The recall was announced on the radio, and I have this the federal safety agency recall printed out as well. The part they need is on national backorder as well, basically I have a car that if I drive it, I can get hurt due to the fact that they can't fix it due to no parts available and they refused to give me a rental car free while they fix my defective car. I don't understand why it was recalled and the dealer will not take care of it. I sure am not satisfied with dodge's concern for having my car on the road with a fuel leak. Please respond to me about what I can do to get them to fix this car per the recall instead of me having to pay hundreds of dollars to fix it. The problem as well is the part is on national backorder and they told me it will take 2weeks to 2 months to get the parts. Should a car manufacturer have responsibility to provide a vehicle due to their safety hazard. I can't believe I have to pay a car payment for a car I can't drive, and they can't even fix the recall.
Fuel is leaking from the fuel injector. Vehicle can catch on fire while driving from under the hood. When driving at 30 MPH the engine check light keesp coming on and vehicle is losing power.
