What owners report
When I try to brake at a stop light, my car tries to quit. When I slow behind another vehicle, my vehicle lunges upon continuing again. I have had the timing checked, but that is not my problem. I can smell gasoline when my vehicle acts up. I fear for my life and the life of my 12 year old son. I am a single parent working for $ 9.00 an hour. I need my car to get to work, but I'm afraid of it, and I just don't have the extra money to have it checked and repaired! I thought perhaps it might have a recall on it, because so many others do!

While driving down I-45 in conroe, texas, my engine sputtered, jerked, and died. As you know when you lose engine power, your steering wheel becomes locked up and its almost impossible to control the car. It has died on me before but on back roads almost home or at an intersection. I didn't realize the seriousness of it until it happened on the freeway and there are people coming up on me doing 70-80 MPH and I am quickly coming to a dead stop.
(1) always smelled gasoline after driving car for a while. A couple of repair places could not find a problem. I finally figured out myself where the leak was in the engine and pointed it out to a repair man. (2) this repair man told me it definitely was leaking and if I let it go any longer there would certainly be an engine fire. When I questioned him about other occurrences of this problem, he said that he had seen this happen more often on Chrysler's than any other car. (3) he replaced the fuel pressure regulator, as well as the fuel dampner assembly with fuel rail. I don't have the old parts. Let me know if you need them and I will try to obtain them.
