Consumer Description

I OWN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES MORE THAN ONCE AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW DODGE IS GETTING AWAY WITH NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR A FUEL LEAK ON THE PRESSURE LINE AT THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. IT HAS A STEEL LINE THAT COMES FROM THE TANK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THE LAST APPROX. 8 INCHES TURNS TO PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC PART CRACKS AFTER TIME AND IT SPRAYS FUEL ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH SEEMS TO ME THAT SHOULD FALL UNDER A RECALL. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE VEHICLE I HAVE HERE CAME IN DOING THIS AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I DO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS IT COULD VERY EASILY CATCH FIRE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
