Consumer Description

NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS IN AND AROUND THE CAR. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE CHECK AND FOUND OUT FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING GAS. LUCKILY I HAD A WARRENTY CONTRACT FOR WHICH THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL RAIL WAS COVERED. I DO HAVE A $100.00 CO-PAY FOR WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REFUNDED. WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CORP. THAT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE, WITHOUT THE CORRECTION TO FUEL RAIL MY CAR COULD HAVE BEEN ENGULFED IN FLAMES WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER COULD AT LEAST REFUND MY CO-PAY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR BAD PARTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO RECALL THE 1996 DODGE INTREPID. IT HAS THE SAME FUEL RAIL PROBLEM AS THE 1993 WHICH WAS RECALLED THIS YEAR.
