Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: The fuel injection manifold failed at two swagged fittings causing a high pressure fuel leak. upon smelling fuel while driving the car i pulled over and found the two swagged fittings on the manifold pouring gas in the engine. i shut down the engine and had the car towed to huntington beach chrysler and they replaced the entire manifold for $700.00 which i think is outrages because i feel this is a design defect because just prior to the fuel smell the car backfired twice. i wonder how many more people had the same problem and the dealers have not reported it. by the design i know i am not the only person to have this problem. there must be many, many, many more out there.
