NHTSA Complaint #10121668 — 1993 EAGLE VISION

CAMPAIGNS 98V184000 AND 98V130000 CONCERN FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE 1993 EAGLE VISION. ON MAY 13, 1999 THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED ON MY EAGLE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. ON MARCH 31, 2000, AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I HAD TO TAKE MY CARE IN TO A GARAGE DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A GAS LEAK. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL GASKET WHICH COST A TOTAL OF $214.02. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE LEAKAGE OF THE O RINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL RAIL GASKET SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER CAMPAIGN NO. 98V130000. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $214.02. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ALSE I SHOULD DO TO MAKE THE CAR SAFER SUCH AS HAVING THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL REPLACED, WHICH IT APPEARS WASN'T DONE WHEN THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
