Campaigns 98v184000 and 98v130000 concern fuel leakage on the 1993 eagle vision. On may 13, 1999 the o rings were replaced on my eagle by the previous owner. On march 31, 2000, after purchasing the car I had to take my care in to a garage due to the strong smell of gasoline. The repair shop found a gas leak. They replaced the fuel rail gasket which cost a total of $214.02. I believe the cause of this problem was caused by the leakage of the o rings. The replacement of the fuel rail gasket should be covered under campaign no. 98v130000. I am requesting reimbursement for the $214.02. Also, I would like to know if there is anything alse I should do to make the car safer such as having the engine fuel rail replaced, which it appears wasn't done when the o rings were replaced by the previous owner.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.

On september 5, 2004, mr.

Galanty alleged that his 1996 dodge intrepid had each of these three problems.concerning fuel rail leakage, daimlerchrysler commenced a recall (98v‑184) of approximately 722,600 vehicles to address engine fuel rail leaks that could lead to a fire, including those vehicles cited in the petition and the petitioner's 1996 dodge intrepid.on october 7, 1998, the federal safety agency opened a recall query investigation (rq98-018) to evaluate the adequacy of the recall remedy.that investigation was closed on july 8, 2002 without requiring further action by daimlerchrysler.very recently, on june 9, 2004, the federal safety agency denied a petition (rp04-001) to reopen rq98-018 after finding that there was no new information that would indicate any basis for reopening it.this is still the current position of the federal safety agency on this issue.concerning brake fluid contamination and frame alignment, a review of the federal safety agency's database shows no other complaints on either one of these issues on the vehicles cited in the petition.

Amendment to the federal safety agency odi complaint number 10066149. Fuel rail/injection system fuel line o-ring leak. Reference the federal safety agency 98v184000/chrysler recall 790. 1) 1 incident of recall notice and attempted recall service. After recall service performed on march 18 1999 there were 2 incidents of fuel rail/o-ring leak confirmed as follows: 2) right (passenger) side fuel rail cracked and leaked (october 17 2002) 3) left (driver) side fuel inlet line o-ring failed and leaked (april 13 2004). Customer was made to pay for repairs of 3rd incident for $583.00 to replace entire fuel rail assembly chrysler part number 5015231aa. Inspection of parts returned to customer show that fuel inlet o-ring is defective (hardened and shrunken) and is black in color (recall replacement o-ring is supposed to be blue in color). It has been confirmed that 2nd incident of fuel leak was due to recall service repair of march 18 1999 not properly performed as fuel inlet o-ring was never replaced (village motors chelsea mi-mechanic mistake). It should also be noted that recall service procedure to "reinforce right (passenger) side fuel rail did not prevent fuel leak incident of october 17 2002. Customer is seeking reimbursement for $583.00 from chrysler due to improper recall service of defective o-ring. The federal safety agency assistance would be appreciated.
Fuel was leaking from the fuel rail. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealership. Vehicle caught on fire while being towed to the dealership, and dealership refused to honor the fuel leakage recall 98v184000 because of the fire. Vehicle had been at the dealership for a month.
Fuel rail/injection system leak. Reference the federal safety agency 98v184000 and chrysler recall number 790. 3 incidents of fuel system leak due to defective fuel rail system leak. The federal safety agency 98v184000/chrysler recall 790 is for supposedly fixing right (passenger) side injection rail but fails to acknowledge and address fixing left (driver) side fuel injection rail which has same problem. Note: root cause of fuel leak is that the fuel injection rail is made of a plastic which eventually shrinks or cracks.

I bought this car in 1998 and have had to fix it myself many times. I cannot afford to pay someone to fix it. But if there has ever been a lemon it is this car. I have to say the motor is a good one. But every thing surrounding it is junk. At this time it is in my moms garage and I'm still making payments on it and can't even drive it. Right now it needs: 1.) timing belt 2.) wiring problem under dash-dome lights on all the time, A/C controls won't work properly. 3.) inner tie rods need replaced again-(4th time) 4.) spark plug wires go bad in about 12 months.(the good ones). 5.) tires are going bad every 6 months because of tierods. 6,) parking brake cable broke. 7.) catalytic converter. 8.) fuel rail o-rings need replaced. When it was running it was constantly dying on me while driving and while idling, and finally the other day (after replaceing the coil pack and an ignition relay) it died and wouln't restart at all.........................what can or will you do about this lemon that I have had to constantly fix for the whole 4 years that I have owned the car//????????????????
Driver took vehicle in after receiving recall letter 98v130 concerning fuel injection o-ring leak. Driver was smelling gas inside vehicle. Upon picking up vehicle two days later, vehicle stalled, and was hit by another car. White smoke and gas were pouring out of exhaust. Towed to a mechanic. Mechanic stated that vehicle could have caught on fire. Also, dealer may have pinched a gas line during the recall, and that caused stalling and gas shooting out.*ak consumer stated it is not a gas line that may not have been pinched, but maybe the o-ring, when the vehicle was taken to the mechanic, consumer was informed that the vehicle was out of gas and the problem was the intake gasket, oxygen inserts, egr valve and plugs, consumer stated that the vehicle contained gas, the mechanic informed consumer that the gas gauge was wrong, consumer states the vehicle was running fine until the recall was performed.
After noticing strong smell of fuel took vehicle to mechanic. Mechanic indicated that there was a fuel leakage just like mentioned in recall 98 v 184 000. Took vehicle to dealer, and they could not find the leakage. Please provide more information.
Manufacturer would not properly fix safety item during warranty and want to charge now. No safety defect listed.
Fuel rails spraying gas onto engine. The fuel rails were a national recall last year. Our fuel rails were replaced by firkins chrysler plymouth. Since that time we replaced the engine with another1993 eagel vision engine. The fuel rails began spraying gas on the engine in a large stream. Firkins states they are not responsible for replacing the rails since they replaced them once. I do not understand why chrysler is not reponsible for a defective part that is the orginal part that came on the engine and is on recall. Please assist me in this issue, we were charged $310.69 for a part that was defective from chrysler and clearly documented by the national recall. Thank you.
