NHTSA complaint #10702828 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE REGARDING SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF CAR. UPON INSPECTION AND REPAIR FROM MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION, IT WAS LEAKAGE OF GAS FROM MY FUEL INJECTORS IN MY 1997 EAGLE VISION. THE "O" RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE SAME "O" RINGS THAT WERE REPAIRED/REPLACED IN A 1997 RECALL (98V184000) ON MY 1997 EAGLE VISION.

CAMPAIGNS 98V184000 AND 98V130000 CONCERN FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE 1993 EAGLE VISION. ON MAY 13, 1999 THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED ON MY EAGLE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. ON MARCH 31, 2000, AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I HAD TO TAKE MY CARE IN TO A GARAGE DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A GAS LEAK. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL GASKET WHICH COST A TOTAL OF $214.02. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE LEAKAGE OF THE O RINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL RAIL GASKET SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER CAMPAIGN NO. 98V130000. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $214.02. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ALSE I SHOULD DO TO MAKE THE CAR SAFER SUCH AS HAVING THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL REPLACED, WHICH IT APPEARS WASN'T DONE WHEN THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

NHTSA complaint #10080171 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
1996 EAGLE VISION 3.3L EXHIBITED SAME SYMPTOMS AS OUTLINED IN RECALL FOR SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL (EXCEPT FOR 3.5L) CONCERNING FUEL RAIL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKED FROM RIGHT SIDE AND REAR OF ENGINE. REPAIR SHOP CONFIRMED THAT FEUL RAIL HAD DISCONNECTED FROM FUEL LINE AND ADVISED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. CONTACTED NUMEROUS CHRYSLER DEALERS FOR ADVICE ON REPAIRS SHORT OF REPLACEENT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY EITHER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEM OR WHERE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM. HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS MYSELF, WHICH WILL RUN NEARLY 700 DOLLARS. FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THESE REPAIRS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE OUTLINED IN THE RECALL, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.
