What owners wrote

In the past 6 months my steering and suspension components failed causing me to wreck and also somehow my engine bay deteriorated in turn having started a fire

February 2026 CrashFire

Injector #4 fuel line has broken 8 times. 10-10-12 was the most recent. So far this year the line has broken 3 times. North star dodge in san antonio has attempted to fix the issue without success at least 5 times. Dodge/chrysler customer cares response to repeated failure is..."live with it, it's an 04". I have had fuel spray all over the engine each time. I have usually been on highway or interstate. I am concerned this is going to eventually result in a fire or accident.
