Dt*: the contact stated there is a NHTSA recall campaign 99v215000 regarding the suspension. This vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. The vehicle has not been repaired.
I recently bought this vehicle (october 2016) from the original owner who had it up until now. We smelled gas coming in the vents when idling and warming up. We saw vapors coming out from the hood and the strong gas smell was clearly injector leaking somewhere on the engine and coming into the cab. We took it to a local auto dealer and they agreed immediately what the problem is and explain it was faulty fuel line by chrysler.
