    DURING THE FIRST 2 MINUTES OF OPERATION, THE ENGINE HESITATES OR MISFIRES ON ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURS DURING HOT OR COLD WEATHER. WHEN SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR, AND ACCELERATING UNDER FULL THROTTLE, THE ENGINE / FRONT END SHAKES. THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED BY A TECHNICIAN, BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THERI ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. AS A RESULT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TRY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK

    ORIGINAL FUEL LINE LOCATION CAUSED FRICTION AND WEARING ON THE BRAIDED FUEL LINE. THIS WORE A HOLE CLEAR THROUGH THE LINE SPEWING GASOLINE ALL OVER A VERY HOT ENGINE! I WAS THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE INTERNET 'PT COMMUNITY'. PLEASE STRESS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. VERY CONCERNED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO 'NET ACCESS!! THEY HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED SOMEHOW! SOME FOLKS WHO DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK.. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A 'LATER MODEL' 2001. AND WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT THIS IS NOT RELEVANT. THEY NEED TO CHECK! -THANK YOU!*AK
