NHTSA Complaint #11241376 — 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 3 DAYS AGO. THE MAIN FUEL LINE STARTED TO LEAK TODAY NEAR THE REAR ENGINE FIREWALL, WHERE THERE IS A CONNECTION TO SOME KIND OF VALVE. VERY VISIBLE FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTOR. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE FUEL LINE LEAK BEING DIRECTLY ABOVE THE EXHAUST. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND AS I HAVE SEEN ON MANY FORUMS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND THIS SAME ISSUE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER SHOULD MAKE RIGHT WITH THESE VEHICLES HAVING A "POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUE " AND RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL ISSUE AND MOST IMPORTANT, IT'S POTENTIAL TO DESTROY THE VEHICLE AND CONTENTS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL CONNECTOR BEFORE SOMEONE BURNS UP IN THIS VEHICLE. I PLEAD WITH YOU TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE RECALLED DUE TO IT'S FUEL LEAKING ISSUE. THANK YOU. THGE FUEL LEAKS WHILE RESTING IN PLACE OR IN MOTION. THE AMOUNT THIS LEAK GIVES OUT IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO LEAK ONTO THE VEHICLES EXHAUST AND "BOOM", THERE GOES THE VEHICLE UP IN FLAMES.
