This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On 11-23-06 I noticed a gas leak in my wife's, now ex-wife's, 1996 Dodge Intrepid. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop and they informed me of a possible recall on the vehicle. I then took the vehicle to the local Dodge dealership, pommering Dodge. Pommering mechanics checked the vehicle and the fuel rail was replaced at no cost under a prior recall related to bad O-rings in fuel rail. However, after fuel rail was replaced, dealership found that the O-rings in the fuel injector were also bad. O-rings and fuel injector were replaced at my expense, total cost $295.32. I inquired but the dealership explained that the fuel injector O-rings were not included in the recall. It seems apparent to me that if there was a serious problem with the O-rings in the fuel rail necessitating a recall, there may very well be a similar problem with the fuel injector O-rings.
NHTSA recall98 V 184 000/manufacturer's recall 790 concerning fuel leakage: Fuel line from the injector system is leaking fuel onto 3.5L engine. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that this vehicle vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN. Feel free to provide any further information.
