“My 1991 plymouth grand voyager has had so many problems. I have had to replace the whole exhaust system, the transmission, put in a new fuel pump, a new radiator, now it failed an emissions test and I was smelling fuel when I was driving only to find out my fuel rail is leaking or should I say squirting as onto the engine, which almost resulted in a fire had I had been smart enough to check it out. Now the shop where I had to have it towed since it was unsafe to drive says you can only get the part from a dealer which costs 319.00 and that does not include labor. *nm”Owner report · Fuel System, Gasoline · Oct 2005
