FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
TSB # 790 WAS FOR THE LEFT FUEL INJECTION RAIL LEAKING (CRACKED). MY RIGHT RAIL IS LEAKING!!! I CALLED CHRYSLER @ 1-800 992-1997 AND TRIED TO REPORT THIS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL IN JANUARY, 1999 ONLY AFFECTED THE LEFT FUEL INJECTION RAIL. I COULD HAVE HAD A FIRE AS THE GASOLINE WAS LEAKING (IN VOLUME) ON THE TOP OF MY ENGINE AND RUNNING DOWN THE ENGINE BLOCK ONTO THE GROUND. I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I ATTEMPTED TO INFORM THEM OF THIS TODAY AND I WAS TOLD ME TO GO TO A DEALER. I DO MY OWN CAR REPAIR WORK AND KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT VEHICLES. I ALSO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT PRODUCT SAFETY AS I AM THE PRODUCT SAFETY OFFICER WHERE I AM EMPLOYED. I HAVE DETAILED DIGITIAL PHOTOS OF THE RAIL WHILE IT IS LEAKING. THEY ARE GOOD PICTURES. THESE PICTURES ARE WORTH MORE THAN 1000 WORDS!!! IF YOU WANT THE PICTURES, PLEASE ADVISE.*AK
