FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THIS PROBLEM IS RECONIZED ON THIS SITE AS A RECALL ON BOTH THE 3.3L AS WELL AS THE 3.5L ENGINES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT ON RECALL YET. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A 597 DOLLAR CHARGE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE FUEL IS LEAKING ON THE ENGINE. I TOOK A PRINTED REPORT FROM THIS WEBSITE TO THE DEALER SHOWING THE RECALL, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM AT A LOSS AT TO WHAT TO DO. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE UNDER THE RECALL, AND I CANNOT BE WITHOUT MY VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ME AT TO WHAT TO DO NOW.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SMELL AND LEAKAGE UNDER THE HOOD. LEAKAGE TAKES PLACE WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. TWO DEALERS NEW EXACTLY WHAT PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY SEE 2 OR 3 CONCORDES OR LHS PER MONTH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 3.3 ENGINE (FOR WHICH THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PROBLEMS) BUT ON THE 3.5 THEY SEE THEM OFTEN. THE 3.5 HAS NO CURRENT RECALL. WHY? THE LEAKAGE AND SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I AM AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER. WHEN THE FAILURE WAS FOUND (LEAKING FLUID DOWN THE INNER APRON AND RAIL ) I CHECKED FOR A USED ASSY. SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. OF 2 UNITS I HAD SHIPPED OUT I FOUND THE SAME STRESS FRACTURE ON BOTH IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE CRACK IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TANK AT THE MOUNTING POINT PROJECTION. TANK IS HELD IN PLACE BY A TAB ON THE BOTTOM AND 1 BOLT INTO THE TOP/SIDE BRACKET. I THINK THIS COULD BE A OEM PROBLEM AND COULD LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE OR POSSIBLE FIRE. I WANTED EVERYONE TO BE AWARE AND IF POSSIBLE HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED BY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. THANK YOU.
