FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
COULD SMELL STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHILE IDLING INSIDE CAB OF CAR. CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND THAT BOTH ENDS OF FUEL RAIL ARE LEAKING. END NEAREST FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM IS DRIPPING RAPIDLY ONTO MOTOR. PARTS STORE DOES NOT CARRY THIS PART AND ITS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO. :(

NHTSA complaint #10452206 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
THE FUEL RAIL FEEDING THE FUEL INJECTION LEAKS AT THE CRIMP ON THE LINE. THIS CAUSED A MAJOR FUEL LEAK ON UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I SAW BY SEARCHING THE WEB SITE THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FUEL RAIL REPLACED AT A COST OF $650.48. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL DUE TO PROPENSITY FOR FIRE HAZARD. WHEN I WAS INSPECTING THE LEAK I GOT SPRAYED IN THE FACE AND EYES WITH GASOLINE PAINFULLY.

FUEL RAIL LEAKS GASOLINE ONTO TOP OF ENGINE - MANY OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE RECALL FOR THIS - SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER CARS - WHY EXCLUDE THE 90 FIFTH AVENUE FROM THE FUEL RAIL RECALL?

1991 CHRYSLER 5TH AVENUE- FUEL RAIL LEAK AT O-RING CONNECTIONS.
NHTSA complaint #10112436 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
91 CHRYSLER FIFTH AVENUE - LEAKING JOINT IN OEM FUEL RAIL. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS TO BE ABLE TO ROTATE FRONT AND BACK RAILS TO ALIGN INJECTORS DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS JOINT IS SEALED AT FACTORY WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, EXCEPT FOR THE WHOLE FUEL RAIL. LEAKING FUEL LAY ON TOP MOTOR AND COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS IF IGNITED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
1991 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER FIFTH AVENUE V6 3.3L. I INCURRED 2 FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL INTAKE FUEL RAIL. EACH OCCURRED AT BOTH 'U' JOINTS. THE FUEL IS LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE. MY RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF CHRYSLERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. OBVIOUSLY SIMULTANEOUS FUEL LEAKS INTO AN ENGINE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HAVE THESE RECALLED. THANK YOU.

BAD GAS MILEAGE, HARD TO START, SMELLED GAS. DEALER FOUND LEAK COMING FROM FUEL RACK. COULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE WHILE MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK. $245 FOR THE RACK PLUS $$$ FOR O-RINGS, GASKET & HOSES, NOT TO MENTION LABOR. HEARD & READ OF MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME!!

NHTSA complaint #738294 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
THE FUEL INJECTION MANIFOLD FAILED AT TWO SWAGGED FITTINGS CAUSING A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LEAK. UPON SMELLING FUEL WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE TWO SWAGGED FITTINGS ON THE MANIFOLD POURING GAS IN THE ENGINE. I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HUNTINGTON BEACH CHRYSLER AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE MANIFOLD FOR $700.00 WHICH I THINK IS OUTRAGES BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT BECAUSE JUST PRIOR TO THE FUEL SMELL THE CAR BACKFIRED TWICE. I WONDER HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERS HAVE NOT REPORTED IT. BY THE DESIGN I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE MUST BE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE OUT THERE.
