Fuel Delivery problems of the 1996 Dodge Intrepid

Complete and sudden failure of gasoline lines near gas tank resulting in gasoline being sprayed over exterior of fuel tank. Failure was noticed quickly and engine stopped. Dt.

While parked fuel line ruptured. Had vehicle towed to dealer and repaired it. Consumer stated that the fuel line ruptured and spray fuel all over engine and onto the floor.

Vehicle experienced a fuel leak, dealer replaced the fuel lines and fuel rail, consumer believes this should be recalled due to a potential fire hazard, consumer is also requesting reimbursement.

The fuel rail was repaired as part of a recall in 1998. The same part has failed again in the same fashion with the dangers involved.

Under normal driving conditions the fuel line fitting failed at the point where the fuel line enters the fuel injection rail. The result was a large amount of sprayed gas all over the top of the engine. I was lucky that the engine was cold and that the gas did not ignite from the exhaust manifold or a spark from the alternator. I my opinion this should not happen under any circumstance. If this happend on a summer day the car would have been engulfed in flames in a matter of seconds. I feel that this was a serious enough defect that I am taking the time to fill out this form. The car is scheduled to be repaired tomorrow 3/8/01 so the part in question will be available if needed. The vehicle is at stevens Dodge in milford, CT (203) 876-6464 where the service is to be performed. You can contact me if you have any questions. Marc kavulich.

Failure on the fule line, the fuel line is bad, causing fuel to leak out the fuel line.

There's fuel leak from the fuel rail. This leak is continous whether the engine is running or not. The car fuel consuption has gone bad. I am buying gas like crazy. Dt.

Fuel line rails are causing gas to leak on the manifold, making the fumes from the gas very strong inside of vehicle. Dealer has been contacted.
