1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

MIDDLE INJECTOR O-RING ON LEFT BANK IS LEAKING AT THE TOP. MY CAR IS A 1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE AND FALLS UNDER RECALL ID 98V184000. THE RECALL WAS DONE ONCE AND I KNOW THAT THE O-RINGS ARE REPLACED AS PART OF THIS RECALL SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T FIX THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AND THEY CHARGED ME $102 LABOR BECAUSE THEY SAID IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. AS I UNDERSTAND THIS THE O-RINGS WERE REPLACED AND NOW THERE WORK HAS FAILED AND THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND IT. *NM

THE FUEL IS LEAKING AT THE INJECTORS ON MY 1993 CONCORDE AND THERE IS A RECALL ID # 98V184000 AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY FAIRFIELD CHRYSLER WON'T HONOR THIS. DON'T THEY KNOW THAT THE CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE I COULD LOSE MY FAMILY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START, AND THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THE UPPER PLENUM AND ALL THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED.

DT: THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL RAIL,, AND WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS FOUND THROUGH A CHRYSLER WEBSITE, AND CONSUMER PUT IN THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF THE VIN AND THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER'S SON CONTACTED CHRYSLER THIRTY TIMES , AND THEY ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THERE WAS FUEL RAIL LEAK, AND A NEW FUEL RAIL WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, ALONG WITH OTHER WIRING THAT WAS MELTED AS A RESULT. THE CONSUMER'S SON HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND WISHED TO TAKE VEHICLE AWAY FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE FELT THEY WERE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER AGREED TO FIX THE RECALL BUT FIRST THEY WANTED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE AS THE CONSUMER SMELLED SOMETHING ODD AND PULLED OVER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE HOOD WAS RAISED. AND A SMALL FIRE CAME FROM THE FUEL RAIL. A BYSTANDER PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH HIS HAND, AND THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. *AK

Mileage: 205,000

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. RECALL 98V184000 WAS DONE ON FUEL O RINGS, TOOK TO DEALER AND DEALER INDICATED FIRE WAS CAUSED BY OIL ON MOTOR.*AK CONSUMER STATES SHE HAD BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR ABOUT 7-8 DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRE, CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE FIRE STARTED AROUND THE FUEL RAIL O-RING. *JB

DT: THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER FUEL RAIL BECAUSE OF 0-RINGS. APPARENTLY THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW, THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, IT IS LEAKING. THIS IS THE THIRD PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL.*AK *JB

ON 09/11/03 I PURCHASED A USED 1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE LOW FUEL GAUGE AND AIRBAG LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, ND MY TANK IS AT LEAST HALF FULL ALL THE TIME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND WHEN THEY DO, IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SOMETIMES STALL AND JERK VIOLENTLY AS IF I'VE BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR AND GAS FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH PRIVATE MECHANICS AND EXPLAINED IT TO THEM BUT NOONE COULD FIND ANY PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND A WEBSITE LISTING PERSONS WITH SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FIND IT AMAZING THAT WE HAVEN'T ALL BECOME A FATALITY BECAUSE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE A HOOD THAT WON'T STAY UP, A TRUNK THAT SOMETIMES OPENS BY ITSELF, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OFF AND THE HEATER COMES ON AT FULL SPEED, ACCELERATION WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARKING TO DRIVE AND ON AND ON. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS COME WITH USED CARS BUT SOME OF THESE ISSUSES WERE THERE WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW AND WAS RECALLED. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME I WILL HAVE SOME OF THESE ISSUES IN WIRTING AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GIVE ME A BETTER ANSWER THAN. *AK "I FOUND NOTHING" (EXCEPT MY MONEY). BEFORE THIS CAR I DROVE A 1994 PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM WHICH I BOUGHT IN 1995. IT SERVED ME REALLY WELL FOR 8 YEARS WITH ME DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO MY HOMETOWN IN MISSISSIPPI, SOMETIMES TWICE A YEAR. THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE ON IT WERE NORMAL FOR WEAR AND TEAR AFTER THAT LONG, AND IT DID MAKE SOME OF THE SAME NOISES AS THE CONCORDE, BUT I DON'T THINK I'LL BE BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE AFTER I TRADE THIS ONE. I PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T CATCH FIRE OR BLOW UP BEFORE I CAN.

AFTER HAVING RECALL 98V130000 DONE FOR FUEL SEAL, THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED. VEHICLE WAS OCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.*AK THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT, CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE SMELLED OF GASOLINE. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROX. 15 MILES. CONSUMER OPENED THE HOOD AND GASOLINE WAS COMING OUT OF THE MOTOR. CONSUMER WENT TO TURN THE KEY TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER WHEN THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES. THE BRAKES WERE ALSO INOPERATIVE. *JG

AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, MECHANIC INDICATED THAT CONSUMER NEEDED TO GET FUEL RAIL REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING.*AK

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V184000 ON JULY 22, 1999 WITHN 74,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. CONSUMER LATER SMELLED GASOLINE ODORS COMING FROM VEHICLE, AND HAS EXPERIENCED POOR FUEL ECONOMY MILEAGE WITH 102,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. A PRIVATE MECHANIC EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THAT FUEL RAIL O-RINGS WERE CAUSE OF PROBLEM, AND WERE NEVER REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP UNDER THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION. *AK

1. FUEL LEAKS FROM INJECTOR ONTO ENGINE (FIRE HAZARD) 2. IGNITION SWITCH CRANKS ENGINE WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION. 3. LOUD SCREECHING NOISE COMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE IN PARK AND NEUTRAL, THIS IS THE SAME NOISE THE CAR MAKES WHEN CRANKING THE ENGINE. SOUNDS AS IF THE STARTER IS HANGING ON SOMETHING (LIKE THE FLYWHEEL OR SOMETHING). I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT DO HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

FIRST THE HEADLIGHT LENSES CLOUDED OVER; HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEN THE INJECTOR SHOT FUEL ON THE ENGINE, CAR CAUGHT FIRE; $3600 IN DAMAGE. THEN THE REARVIEW MIRROR FELL OFF THRICE; BOUGHT A NEW ONE. THE CAR CONSTANTLY RUNS HOT SINCE LAST YEAR; REPLACED COOLING BLOCK; NOW IT ONLY RUNS HOT WHEN IDLING OR IN STOP-N-GO TRAFFIC; HAVE TO RUN THE HEATER TO KEEP IT FROM OVERHEATING; MECHANIC CANT FIND THE CAUSE; AC TEMP CHANGES FROM COOL TO TEPID WHEN CAR IDLES AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT; ONCE CAR BEGINS TO MOVE, AIR RETUNS TO COOL. THE OVERHEAD COMPUTER JUST QUIT, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT(ECU); ECU REPLACED. WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP DROPS AROUND FREEZING CAR HAS A BANGING NOISE UNDERNEATH, UNTIL IT WARMS UP.

DUE TO THE EXTREME HAZARD, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND A NO-COST REPAIR. I HOPE A RECALL IS FORTHCOMING SOON TO REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL ASSY.
