I WISH YOU WOULD RECALL THE FUEL RAIL WHICH CONNECTS TO MY CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI 2.5 COUPE,WHY, BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WITH JUST A SPARK IT ALSO LEAKS AND I HAVE MY KIDS TO THINK ABOUT. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF SEBRINGS. I'D RATHER FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS RATHER THEN WAIT TILL ITS TOO LATE. *NM
