SPOKE W/ CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY ABOUT LEAK IN DASHBOARD. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, NEITHER WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT PROBLEM W/O HAVING THEIR MECHANIC INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT A COST OF $75/HR. PAYABLE BY OWNER (ME). I POINTED OUT ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS LOOK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD TO SEE THE PUDDLE OF WATER LEFT AFTER IT RAINED THE NIGHT BEFORE. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE W/ CHRYSLER REGARDING THE CRACKED GASKET ON MY FUEL TANK, WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT WAS A RECALL ISSUE, I FIGURED THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AND HAVE ENDURED THE INCONVENIENCE EVER SINCE. I HAVE MET ANOTHER PERSON W/ A NEWER MODEL WRANGLER W/ SAME PROBLEM OF LEAKAGE VIA DASHBOARD. I HOPE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE W/ SAME PROBLEM IN THE HOPES THAT CHRYSLER WILL RECOGNIZE THE SITUATION AND FIX IT. *AK

AFTER DETECTING A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAK ON MY VEHICLE, I CONSULTED NHTSA'S WEBSITE. AS THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED/UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE, I SUSPECTED A RECALL MAY BE IN EFFECT. I CONFIRMED CAMPAIGN #94V106000 IS IN EFFECT FOR ~230,000 UNITS, AND THAT THE PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER NATIONAL SERVICE ~17 NOV AND RECEIVED ADVICE TO PRESENT IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND INCLUSION UNDER RECALL. FOLLOWING SCHEDULED APPOINMENT AND REPAIRS FOR A SAFETY ITEM, FOLLOW-UP WITH CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER MAINTAINS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED, DESPITE CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER SIMILARLY AFFECTED VEHICLES. REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR $162.60 FOR THIS SAFETY ITEM -- FUEL LEAK NEAR IGNITION SOURCE (EXHAUST SYSTEM) WAS NOT AN OPTIONAL REPAIR, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR INCLUSION FOR THIS FAIRLY NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNT. *AK
