Consumer Description

JEEP LIBERTY CRD. ENGINE WAS STALLING ON STARTUP. ODB CODE CAME ON AFTER A MONTH OF THIS "FUEL LEAK SEVERE". IT WAS LOOSING PRIME WHILE SITTING DUE TO AIR LEAKING IN. FOUND FUEL LEAK ON PRE-HEATER CONNECTOR TO FUEL WATER SEPARATOR HOUSING. FOUND SOME BURNT PLASTIC WHERE CONNECTOR WAS, CLEARLY IT GOT HOT/FIRE. I FOUND NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THIS ON-LINE. CONSIDERING THERE WERE REPORTEDLY LESS THEN 10,000 OF THESE BUILT, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR
