| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The pulsation damper has a screw that in time works its way out. once this screw falls out, fuel leaks out all over the engine/intake/exhaust manifold. i have already heard of several other people in the u.s. through the internet who have had the same problem. among owners, many know about this hazard which could occur at any time or any speed. it is a major cause of engine fire and very dangerous. my vehicle has now suffered a fire caused by this defective part. i was lucky enough to have already shut the car down, got out and away, and to have put the fire out before it burned everything. |
