FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:WHEEL CYLINDERS
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
91 CHRYSLER FIFTH AVENUE - LEAKING JOINT IN OEM FUEL RAIL. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS TO BE ABLE TO ROTATE FRONT AND BACK RAILS TO ALIGN INJECTORS DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS JOINT IS SEALED AT FACTORY WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, EXCEPT FOR THE WHOLE FUEL RAIL. LEAKING FUEL LAY ON TOP MOTOR AND COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS IF IGNITED. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
1991 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER FIFTH AVENUE V6 3.3L. I INCURRED 2 FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL INTAKE FUEL RAIL. EACH OCCURRED AT BOTH 'U' JOINTS. THE FUEL IS LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE. MY RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF CHRYSLERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. OBVIOUSLY SIMULTANEOUS FUEL LEAKS INTO AN ENGINE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HAVE THESE RECALLED. THANK YOU. *JB
