FUEL RAIL LEAK. NHTSA RECALL 00V268000 DESCRIBES A FUEL RAIL LEAK RECALL THAT APPLIES TO 1996-2000 MINIVANS WITH 3.3 AND 3.8 ENGINES. I HAVE A 1990 GRAND VOYAGER 3.3L WHICH HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME LEAK ON THE FUEL RAIL CROSS-OVER TUBE. CHRYSLER DECLINES TO COVER THIS AS OUTSIDE THE RECALL DATES. DEALER QUOTES $768 FOR RAPAIR. REST OF VEHICLE HAS BEEN WORST PIECE OF JUNK EVER OWNED.
THERE IS A PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE ELECTRICAL OR FUEL SYSTEM IN MY 1990 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A SPEED FROM 35MPH ON UP TO 65MPH, MY VAN HAS A "HICCUP". IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE EITHER TURNS THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF OR STEPS HARD ON THE BRAKE. IT FEELS LIKE IT JERKS INSIDE BUT I CANNOT TELL IF IT JERKS ON OUTSIDE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER TIME DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND NO PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOUND BY THE AUTO MECHANIC. THEY HAVE EVEN DRIVEN THE VAN AND HAVE FELT THE PROBLEM. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS AGO. IT WOULD USUALLY ONLY HAPPEN IN THE WARM WEATHER FROM JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER BUT THIS WINTER I HAVE EVEN NOTICED IT. IT HAS NOT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING YET. *AK
I HAVE A 1990 GRAND VOYAGER MINIVAN THAT THAT HAS DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK ON THE 3.3 LITER V6. THE LEAK IS FROM THE SEAL ON THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE THAT GOES FROM THE FRONT HEAD TO THE REAR HEAD OF THE ENGINE. I DISCOVERED IT LEAKING FUEL AT A RATE OF SEVERAL DROPS PER SECOND. ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE, RECALL CAMPAIGN 00V268000 DESCRIBES THE FOLLOWING: ''DEFECT SUMMARY: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. CORRECTIVE SUMMARY: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. '' THE 00V268000 RECALL PRECISELY DESCRIBES THE FAILURE I AM EXPERIENCING ON THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE AND ENGINE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 1990 MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE EARLIER YEARS WERE EXCLUDED? THE DEALER QUOTES A PRICE OF $768 FOR REPAIRS. FORTUNATELY I CAUGHT IT BEFORE A FIRE STARTED.
FUEL ODOR WAS COMING INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, AND INFORMED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL O RING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FUEL LINE LEAK, SPRAYING GASOLINE ONTO ENGINE BLOCK - QUITE EXCITING!
WE WERE ALMOST KILLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE CAR STOPPED DEAD ON HIGHWAYS. EACH TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER, THEY NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE AFTER A WHILE THE CAR WOULD RUN AGAIN. FINALLY WHEN WE WERE OUT OFF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THE EXTRA COVERAGE WE HAD PURCHASED, WE WERE ON OUR OWN. WE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP/WE HAD NEW WIRING INSTALLED AND THE CAR STILL DIED FRQUENTLY. IT'S NOW SITTING ON OUR DRIVEWAY DEAD. ALSO, RACK AND PINION WENT. IT WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM.WE MET OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WHO COULD AND DID CHANGE THEIR VEHICLES. *MJS
FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY FAILED, CAUSING GASOLINE TO LEAK ONTO THE HOT MANIFOLD.
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.
