FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
I HAVE A 1995 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER THAT WAS FOUND BY MY AUTO MECHANIC TO BE LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS ON RECALL FOR 1996 VOYAGERS BUT NOT FOR MY 1995 VOYAGER EVENTHOUGH ITS THE SAME PART, THE FUEL RAIL. I TALKED TO CHRIS IN THE RECALL CENTER AT 800-531-1403 AND NOTIFIED HIM OF THE PART BUT HE WOULD DO NOTHING TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO MY CAR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 1995 VOYAGERS LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF CATCHING FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART BUT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULD REFUND MY REPAIR EXPENSES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'M HAVING A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW CONCERNING THE VAN'S IGNITION OR FUEL COMPONENT. SINCE JUNE, 2003 THE ENGINE WILL ALL OF THE SUDDENT DIE OR THE COMPRESSION GOES DOWN TO A MINIMUM THAT WILL ALLOW THE ENGINE TO ONLY RUN; THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THEN WHEN I LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN FOR AWHILE, I CAN START IT UP AND IT WILL RUN OK FOR A WHILE. MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT THE PROBLEM IS UNTIL THE PROBLEM SHOWS ITSELF; ALSO THEY SAY IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF IGNITION MODULE OF SOME SORT. ON TWO OF THE OCCASIONS, I WAS ON A MAJOR FREEWAY WITH MY THREE KIDS IN TOW AND WE WERE STRANDED IN THE CAR POOL LANE. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ALSO, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON AT ANY TIME ON THEIR OWN AND MY PAINT PEELS IN THE BACK TOP OF THE VAN ADJACENT TO THE BACK HATCH.
