Chrysler Pt Cruiser Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Jan 11, 2012
Reported on Jan 11, 2012
| THE FUEL LINE/PRESSURE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME BECAUSE THE PRESSURE REGULATOR LEAKS, SPRAYING GAS ON THE FIREWALL. INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PART, THIS IS NOW THE FOURTH ASSEMBLY IN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD THE SERVICE PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDENT FACILITY, NOT CHRYSLER, BUT THE PARTS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FORM CHRYSLER. MY SERVICE TECH SAYS HE REPLACES 50 OR 60 OF THESE PER YEAR. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN THE ASSEMBLY FAILS, THE ODOR OF GAS PERMEATES THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS VERY STRONG OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55000 MILES ON IT AND THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS AT ABOUT 40000 MILES. *TR | |
