Consumer Description

FUEL LEAK WHERE FUEL LINE ATTACHES TO THE INJECTOR RAIL.FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS AGO I OCCASIONALLY NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR I COULD FIND ANY INDICATION OF A LEAK. IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE ODOR HAS BEEN STRONGER & HAPPENED MORE OFTEN, WHICH STARTED ME LOOKING AGAIN. FOUND GAS DRIPPING ONTO THE VALVE COVER GASKET,FROM THERE TO THE EXAUST MANAFOLD. LEAK IS FROM A FACTORY CONNECTION WHERE THE STEEL GAS LINE ENTERS THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING ODI ID'S REFER TO SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEMS 514406, 522187, 543261, 543657, 820964, 830971, 833436, 834270, 834347, 835204, 838304, 937305 & 841312. THE LAST ONE (841312) INDICATES THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT FIND IT IN YOUR DATABASE. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A POTENTIAL "MOLINTOV COCKTAIL" FOR OVER 4 YEARS, AND IT WOULD SEEM FROM THE COMPLAINTS THAT THERE IS A DEFINATE SAFTY HAZARD. *AK
