Chrysler says they are covering some of it's 1996 vans and claim we are not covered. Dealer concurred that our van was having the same problems as the potential recall is describing. We can't believe that selective coverage within the same year is logical since our van is having the same problems. To summarize the problem: Fuel leaks(streams) from the rail just above the manifold through the engine. Thank god we realized the problem before a fire broke out. Does it take a death before companies are liable?
