MY 1991 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM, THE TRANSMISSION, PUT IN A NEW FUEL PUMP, A NEW RADIATOR, NOW IT FAILED AN EMISSIONS TEST AND I WAS SMELLING FUEL WHEN I WAS DRIVING ONLY TO FIND OUT MY FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING OR SHOULD I SAY SQUIRTING AS ONTO THE ENGINE, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A FIRE HAD I HAD BEEN SMART ENOUGH TO CHECK IT OUT. NOW THE SHOP WHERE I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED SINCE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SAYS YOU CAN ONLY GET THE PART FROM A DEALER WHICH COSTS 319.00 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. *NM

THE FUEL RAIL LOCATED ON THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS LEAKING GAS ONTO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD, RESULTING IN A FIRE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY CONSUMER. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING FUEL SMELL WAS COMING THOUGH THE VENTS. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOUND THAT FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. *AK

FUEL SMELL IN SIDE VEHICLE. SOON AFTER CONSUMER SERVICED VEHICLE, AND NOTICED FUEL INJECTION RAIL TWO SEALS WERE LEAKING FUEL. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE GAS GAUGE WENT DOWN TO EMPTY. THEN CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AGAIN ON A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE JUST STOPPED DEAD IN TRACKS. CONSUMER TRIED TO START VEHICLE, BUT IT KEPT CUTTING OFF.TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES INSIDE VAN. TOOK IT NEXT DAY TO SHOP WHERE THEY SHOWED ME DRIPPING GAS FROM THE "FUEL RAIL" OF THE INJECTOR SYSTEM. IT WAS DRIPPIING ONTO THE ENGINE AND COULD'VE STARTED A FIRE AT ANY TIME. ON THE U SHAPED PART ITS AT THE 90 D. *AK

WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL COULD SMELL GASOLINE. CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED GAS HAD BEEN SHOOTING FROM THE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLE WAS LEAKING CONTINUOUSLY. ALSO, POWER LOCKS WENT ON AND OFF/SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO/GAS GAUGE READ TANK EMPTY WHILE IT WAS FULL, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF. *AK

FUEL RAILS FOR 3.3L ENGINES FOR CARS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT FOR THE VANS, WHEN IN FACT WE HAVE HAD 2 FUEL RAILS THAT HAD MAJOR LEAKS IN SPOTS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SEALED. I ALSO KNOW ATLEAST 3 OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PART AT ONE TIME WERE ON BACK ORDER BY 950 PARTS. MY VAN IS NOT OPERATIONAL AND I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PURSHASE ANOTHER AND PAY THE LABOR TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. *AK
