FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER BACKING OUR CAR OUT OF THE CARPORT, WE NOTICED A LONG THIN PIECE OF CORRODED METAL LAYING ON THE GROUND. I GOT UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK RETAINING STRAPS WERE SEVERELY CORRODED, THE ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR HAD HOLES COMPLETELY CORRODED THROUGH. THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE HEAVY SURFACE CORROSION AS WELL. I FEEL THAT IF THE AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURES CONTINUE TO USE METAL FUEL TANK RETAINING STRAPS THEY SHOULD ENCASE THEM IN A NON CORROSIVE MATERIAL. THIS WOULD REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF CORROSION AND CHAFING OF THE FUEL TANK, THIS IS A HIGH VIBRATION AREA. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA E-MAIL, THEIR RESPONSE WAS,( UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE SITUATIONS YOU HAVE OUTLINED IN YOUR E-MAIL). I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY PHONE AND TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT MY SITUATION. HE TOLD ME DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR AND THE MILEAGE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AT THAT POINT I ASKED HIM IF I COULD SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, HE TOLD ME AT THAT TIME THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK, HOWEVER I DID RECEIVE A CUSTOMER SURVEY ON MY E-MAIL ACCOUNT. WITH THIS BEING A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE I COULD NOT WAIT FOR CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE. I REPLACE THE FUEL TANK STRAPS MYSELF, I FOUND REPLACEMENT STRAPS AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. I HAVE REVIEWED THIS DOT WEB SITE ON PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR AUTOMOBILE. FOUND NOTHING IN REGARDS TO THE FUEL TANK STRAPS. I DID FIND A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER ON THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH WE HAD REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. THIS WAS AN VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. ANOTHER COMPLAINT FROM A CUSTOMER ABOUT LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. WE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS, THE TIRES HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE RIM AND THE MATING SURFACE OF THE RIM TO TIRE CLEANED.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WE SMELLED GAS FROM THE ENGINE AREA. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION NOTED A LEAK IN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM . GAS WAS DRIPPING EVERY 1 SECOND NEAR THE O RING BY THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL. HELP!. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A 3.5L ENGINE BUT A 3.3L 1996 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. I KNOW THE 3.5L HAD A RECALL ON THIS DID THE 3.3L HAVE ONE ALSO AND NOONE NOTICE????? ALSO WHEN YOU PUT THE FLOOR SHIFTER INTO GEAR I.E. DRIVE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD, OR IF IN REVERSE THAT EITHER. THEN IT JERKS INTO GEAR ALMOST LIKE THE SHIFTER OR LEAVERS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. I DO BELIEVE IT MAY BE A SHIFTER ISSUE AND THEN THE O RING LEAKING GAS LIKE A DRIPPING FAUCET.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
ON 03/21/2007 I WAS COMING FROM WORK AND SMELLED GASOLINE, ON HAVING MY VEHICLE CHECKED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL RAIL AND THE FUEL LINE HAD BECOME DISENGAGED. AS I HAD THE FUEL RAIL CHANGED UNDER A RECALL ORDER BACK IN 11/2007, I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT HAD COMPLETED THE WORK BACK THEN. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF IT WAS THEIR FAULT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE AT NO CHARGE. IF NOT I WOULD BE CHARGED $75 PER HR. IT WAS AGREED THAT THE DEALER WOULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE ON 03/22/2007. AS OF 03/25/3007 MY VEHICLE HAD STILL NOT BEEN PICKED UP. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE SAID VEHICLE BECAUSE OF "GASOLINE" SQUIRTING OUT FROM THE DISCONNECTION AND POURING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE VEHICLE.
