CAR OVERHEATS CHRONICALLY, SINCE I GOT IT. I HAVE HAD RADIATOR FLUSHED, HOSES REPLACED, FLUID COMPOSITION AND LEVELS REPLACED. CAR IS NOT DRIVEN UNDER DURESS. HAVE BEEN TOLD CHRYSLER HAD DIFFICULTY PROPERLY COOLING THE 3.5 LTR ENGINE. IS THAT TRUE?*AK

THE QUICK CONNECT/DISCONNECT THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL RAIL IS NOT HOLDING AND IS ALLOWING RAW GAS TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE THE CAR, DEALER SAYS THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE FUEL LINE BETWEEN FUEL FILTER AND FUEL RAIL, I SUSSPECT THAT THE QUICK CONNECT IDEA IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS SINCE THE CONNECTOR IS PLASTIC AND GASOLINE WOULD TEND TO DETERIORATE THE PLASTIC OVER TIME AND REPLACING THESE FUEL LINES IS A COSTLY $$$ PROPOSITION, I WILL REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL LINE SECTIONS WITH STANDARD HIGH PRESSURE NEOPRENE/RUBBER FUEL LINE WHICH SHOULD WORK QUITE WELL. *AK

FALVEY'S MOTORS OF NORWICH, CT PERFORMED RECALL 790 ON MY CAR IN APRIL 1999. FOR THE NEXT YEAR, THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS AND RAN ROUGH. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO FALVEY'S AND THEY SAID THE COIL PACK AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE BAD. I SPENT THE MONEY AND REPLACED BOTH, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER A YEAR, THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL RAIL/INJECTOR AREA. THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT FURTHER EXCEPT AT MY EXPENSE. I LOOKED AT IT MYSELF AND FOUND OLD GASKET MATERIAL STILL ON THE FUEL RAIL THEY INSTALLED, WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO CONSTANTLY SPILL ONTO THE ENGINE. THEY REFUSED THE COSTS OF REPAIRS.

WITH REGARD TO THE REAR WINDOW, THE TRIM IS PUSHED BACK AND THE CORNER END OF THE WINDOW IS EXPOSED. AS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO OPEN THE WINDOW-YOU CAN SEE THE TOP EDGE OF THE WINDOW. I AM NOT SURE OF HOW TO RESOLVE-I AM AFRAID TO SIMPLY PUT SEALANT IN CRACK-AFRAID WINDOW MAY FALL INTO CAR OR OUT OF FRAME INTO PEOPLE BEHIND. WINDOW WAS NEVER HIT, APPEARS THAT SEAL IS WORN OR WINDOW IS FALLING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 9225/60R16 )
