1993 Eagle Vision: fuel leak

Filed May 20, 2005 · Fuel system · 65,785 miles · IA

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.

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.

I received recall 99v215000 notice in feb 2000 for engine cradle failure.. I contacted the local dealership and was told I was on a waiting list to fix the problem. At that time they needed a special tool to fix the defect. After checking many times the tool is still not available and nothing has been done to fix the defect. I have called the daimler/chryler customer assistance telephone line numerous times and always receive a busy signal. I tried calling your hotline but no representatives are ever available. In looking up the recall on your website I noticed a previous recall for a very dangerous defect in this particular engine in that the o-rings leak gas and can cause an engine fire. We received no notice of this recall. After six months of trying to contact the proper person to handle this problem I am very frustrated. Please inform me of my options.

Fuel injection delivery system is leaking fuel from both sides of the sealing "o" ring, or hair lines which cracked and the fuel is coming out of the rails. Recall should cover both sides, since both sides need to be repaired to be safe from fire. *ak.
