THE FUEL RAIL LEAKS LIKE A DRIPPING FAUCET. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT IS ON RECALL FOR THE DODGE INTREPID. IS THIS THE SME PART WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE INTRREPID? ONE DODGE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THIS PART, AND WILL BE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS BEFORE ONE MAY BE AVAILABLE. ANOTHER SAID THIS PART ALMOST NEVER GOES BAD, SO THEY NEVER STOCK IT. IT SEEMS THAT A RECALLED PART SHOULD BE IN SUFFICIENT SUPPLY FOR THE RECALL AND OTHER CUSTOMERS. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DYNASTY TOO? ADDITIONALLY, THE CHARGE FOR THE FUEL RAIL ALONE IS NEARLY $300.00. IS THIS A FAIR PRICE? THIS PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTALLATION. DODGE RECALL INFORMATION LINE HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE MY CORRECT NAME & ADDRESS, AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK
