| While in route to work, i started smelling gas from air vents. i made it to work & when i went on lunch break my co-workers said that they smelt gas around my car. i left work that morning when to a reputable mechanic to find out why i was smelling gas & rapidly started losing gas mileage. he informed me that my car(dodge intrepid 2001) have had problems with the fuel rail & that i should look into contacting &/or looking up vehicle recalls on my car. contacted dodge/daimler chrysler & had absolutely no response as of yet. *tr | |||

| A few days after i bought the car the engine light came on, and i took it back to the dealer. he said it was the fuel cap making the engine light come on, he put a new one on, and said that should solve it. the engine light came back on, and a month later, the car wouldn't start. i had it towed to a shop, and they said it needed a new fuel pump. i called the dealer, and he said it was nothing he could do because the warranty was only for a month. i just started driving it again,the car would take a minute before it picked up speed, like it was stalling. i drove it until just recently it just stopped while i was driving. i had the car towed and it was put on a machine and the transmission is out. i have had the car a year. one day the car wouldn't go in reverse, and i checked the transmission fluid, and it was fine. then , it drove fine a couple days then completely stopped. i haven't done anything yet because i don't have the money for another transmission or car, and need a car because i have a daughter with cerebral palsy, and she has a lot of doctor appointments out of town and in town. so if i could get some help i would greatly appreciate it. *ak | |||
