Purchased vehicle used a year ago, after 1 fuel fill up service engine light came on and smelled fuel strongly in the back. Noticed raw fuel leaking onto the left rear tire& wheel well. Took to dealer for tests, they found leaks from ldp to the tank at a rubber elbow with a raw fuel leak at the connection between the filler neck and rollover valve. Told we need fuel tank replaced to fix the problem costing more than $700!

Just this week I had my fan relay module replaced , only to learn my transmission is now not worknig it stops at 3rd gear only to drop to 1 gear . While trying to get that fixxed they told me my water pump is leaking (which is ok and expected of most vehicles , ) I have had to have my dash light computer reset because all my AC dfrost and wiper lights were blinking continuously. I dont know what to do this is only a 97 model and I havent even made my final payment but now I have all these expensive repairs. I have had I tick in my motor that rattles on acceleratin forever and change my oil every 3 to 4000 miles like I should .

Check engine light fail to come on. This in turn cause the fuel pump to start failing,which in turn cause one of the heads to have a mis-fire. This has cause me to fail maryland emissions cause they hook your vehicle up to a computer. Break down of repairs below from the chrysler dealer that calls it a five star dealer !!! Fuel pump = $600.00 check engine light ( wiring ) = $350.00 new head one side = $1,100.00 this is from a man who changes the oil every 2,500 miles and takes great care of the vehicle my vw has 250,000 miles and still runs great.

Fuel gauge intermittent non-functional. Increasingly more frequent engine dying episodes, then is able to restart after 5-10 minutes rest period. Mil lamp code reads battery power disconnect to PCM during previous 40 engine cranks. I suspect a faulty relay( switch) component that fails at certain voltages and after equilibration rest period its value returns to normal and restarts (allows current to pass through from battery. Source to PCM and into ignition circuit).
