Defect SummaryVehicle 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.
Consequence SummaryFuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers 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.
NotesOwner notification began during january 1999. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chrysler at 1-800-992-1997.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

 On september 5, 2004, mr. robert galenty of iselin, nj, petitioned the agency to conduct defect investigations of certain model year (my) 1993-1997 vehicles produced by daimlerchrysler corporation.his petition identified three issues of concern: 1) fuel leaking from the fuel injector rails; 2) brake fluid contamination resulting in brake failure; and 3) susceptibility of the vehicle frame to damage while the vehicle is being towed.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, nhtsa 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, nhtsa 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 nhtsa on this issue.concerning brake fluid contamination and frame alignment, a review of nhtsa's database shows no other complaints on either one of these issues on the vehicles cited in the petition.

 I drive a 1997 chrysler lhs. i have 2 issues both covered under recalls that chrysler has performed. 1. evaporator failed - chrysler added an addendum to increase the warranty on this to 71,000 miles. mine failed at 53k and i had a independant mechanic repair my car. total cost was around $1,000. called chrysler and they simply said they would not cover the cost of the repair. i asked why and the help desk person said a tech told him we won't cover the costs. the repairs we're made last year. if it's covered and their addendum states it will ocver it how are they allowed to skirt past this? 2. my car leaks gas. found a recall in 1999 that addressed an issue about bad fuel rails and chrysler would did indeed repair cars. my car has the recall repairs performed. doing a vin check verified this. so i explained to my chrysler dealer that obviously the recall is bad. he said bring the car in, i'll analyze it ( at my cost $100 ) and we will dtermine where it's at. i don't believe i should have to spend any $$ on their faulty work. how do i proceed to get chrysler cover their poor quality? i live in florida and very concerned that my car is a deatrh trap with the leaking fuel. at the extremem temperatures cars reach in flroida - a combustion is not far from happening. please help.*ak
