Consumer Description

THE FUEL AND WATER SEPARATOR IS LEAKING DIESEL FUEL FROM THE HEATER ELECTRICAL LINES. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME IN 2008 THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WHEN THE WIRES BEGAN TO SMOKE. TOOK IT INTO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN WHICH UPON FURTHER RESEARCH HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CRD'S. THIS CAR IS A FIRE HAZARD NOT TO MENTION THE STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER DUE TO AIR BEING PUMPED INTO THE FUEL LINES. MY CHILD IS NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR
