“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10098410, filed 2004-11, 75,600 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10196391, filed 2007-07, 63,000 miles“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 #10483978, filed 2012-11, 108,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10107543, filed 2005-01, 120,000 miles“Fuel rail leaking gas. Strong smell of gas (intermittent) for last 6 years. Only recently found cause. How much damage to my health? Lucky car has not caught fire. And now can't even find a replacement part!”
