We bought this car as a program and it sure has been in the shop alot. I also heard from the area mechanics that they have replaced alot of the racks on the Dodge Intrepids and how come there is not a recall on this item.
The O rings on some of the injectors were leaking fuel. There is a recall for this defect (98V18400). However, I was told my vehicle was not included in the recall. It was manufactured within the time frame listed in your database. The dealer would not pay for the repair.
We have contacted local Chrysler, who refused to fix the vehicle... we told them it was leaking fuel. We contacted national Chrysler and they were not open today. We then contaced NHTSA and they said wait. I want this on record in case of failure since chysler will not address the problem on any level right now
Consumer had been smelling fuel inside of vehicle for about three weeks until today. He had taken vehicle to shop service where they told him the problem was with the fuel rail that is leaking. Dealer had been contacted.
