EA98007; FUEL INJECTION ASSEMBLY LEAKAGE. FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL RAIL. THE FUEL RAIL WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *AK
FROM WHAT THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THERE ARE MULTIPLE FUEL LEAKS ALONG THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL WHICH IS CAUSING GASOLINE TO LEAK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE EAGLE VISION (1993) VEHICLE. THIS CAR HAS THE SAME ENGINE AS THE NEW YORKER (1994). THE EAGLE WAS RECALLED TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. ALSO I HAVE RESEARCHED THE COMPLAINT DATABASE AND FOUND THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM MANY TIMES ON THE NEW YORKER AND LHS. WHY HAVEN'T THESE VEHICLES BEEN RECALLED TO FIX THIS DEADLY PROBLEM?
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
