THE FUEL RAIL AND O-RINGS WERE REPLACED FIRST, AND I PAIDED FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR, ON THE WAY HOME, IT LEAKED AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALER, AND THEY CAME AND PICKED UP THE CAR. WHEN CALLED ON 12/23/1999, I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP, AND THAT IT WAS FIXED AT THE DODGE DEALER, DUE TO A RECALL ON THE FUEL RAIL, AND O-RINGS. MY BIG QUISTEN IS SHOULD I GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE FIRST REPAIR? *AK
