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.Read more
