NHTSA Complaint #737858 — 1994 JEEP WRANGLER

AFTER DETECTING A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAK ON MY VEHICLE, I CONSULTED NHTSA'S WEBSITE. AS THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED/UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE, I SUSPECTED A RECALL MAY BE IN EFFECT. I CONFIRMED CAMPAIGN #94V106000 IS IN EFFECT FOR ~230,000 UNITS, AND THAT THE PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER NATIONAL SERVICE ~17 NOV AND RECEIVED ADVICE TO PRESENT IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND INCLUSION UNDER RECALL. FOLLOWING SCHEDULED APPOINMENT AND REPAIRS FOR A SAFETY ITEM, FOLLOW-UP WITH CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER MAINTAINS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED, DESPITE CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER SIMILARLY AFFECTED VEHICLES. REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR $162.60 FOR THIS SAFETY ITEM -- FUEL LEAK NEAR IGNITION SOURCE (EXHAUST SYSTEM) WAS NOT AN OPTIONAL REPAIR, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR INCLUSION FOR THIS FAIRLY NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNT. *AK
