What owners say
Dt: consumer had a problem with cracked seal rails. This was th fourth replacement. It was leaking fuel all over the engine, and was getting 5 miles to the gallon. Also, went through 2 fuel pumps, and 3 water pumps. Front end ball joints had to be replaced at 30,000 miles.
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.
1996 eagle vision 3.3l exhibited same symptoms as outlined in recall for same year, make and model (except for 3.5l) concerning fuel rail leakage. Fuel leaked from right side and rear of engine. Repair shop confirmed that feul rail had disconnected from fuel line and advised that this is something that should not happen under normal conditions. Contacted numerous chrysler dealers for advice on repairs short of replaceent and they stated that they either had no knowledge of any similar problem or where unwilling to provide any information pertaining to the problem. Have no choice but to pay for replacement parts myself, which will run nearly 700 dollars. Feel that I should be compensated for these repairs due to the fact that the nature of the problem is identical to the one outlined in the recall, and that it should be covered under the recall.
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.
The vehicle caught on fire due to a fuel leakage. Chrysler is currently recalling this make, model and year, however the owner has not been notified by chrysler of the recall. Please provide any additional information.

Continual fuel leaking and extreme exhaust fumes in cabin resulting in headaches and breathing difficulty! It will not pass emissions checks. It eats gas and is continually clogging other engine components. Multiple attempts have been made to fix problems and nothing changes. The leaks cannot be found. I cannot afford to continue to fix this, and am in a place where I cannot afford to get something else. I am stuck. Nothing was disclosed to me when I purchased it from a dealer, and carfax history came back clean. Someone please help!!!
