What owners report
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. :( *TR
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. *AK
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE STOOD UPON FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ABS WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE CONTACT'S PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY A MECHANIC FOR THIS PROBLEM.
THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR. IT IS A 1991 CHYRSLER NEW YORKER. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE ONE FLAT PIN THAT COMES OUT OF THE WHEEL CYLINDER. THIS SMALL FLAT PIN PUSHES ON A THIN FLAT PART OF THE REAR BRAKE SHOE. BECAUSE THE PIN IN FLAT AND DOES NOT HAVE THE FORK DESIGN LIKE THE OLDER MODELS, THE PIN SLIPS OFF THE BRAKE SHOE AND OVER EXTENDS. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF THE BRAKE FLUID AND THE LOSS OF THE REAR BRAKES. I ALSO NOW HAVE PICTURES OF WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURS. *JB
