WE took our car into Lythia Dodge here in Bryan Texas last week to have the oil changed and also found that we had a leak on the floor of the garage. I told the Lythia people about it and they said they would look into it. They called and said that they could not find a leak. So we took a picture of the leak on the floor of the garage. I sent it to the agent and he said they would check again. After further inspection they found oil cooler leak in valley-replaced oil cooler. This repair cost me $830.00. This was done on Jan 21th. This first time we filled up the car on the 2nd. We only have 40 miles on the car since we had it fixed. We did make some simple trips at lease 2, since having the work done. Maybe a total of 6 miles Today we got in the car to go to church and it started dumping tons of gas on the floor of the garage. The whole house smells like gasoline. The car will now not stay running. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you ever replaced the gaskets? Maybe the hoses? No Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model/year of your Dodge? Chrysler(###) ###-#### Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Chrysler 300 yourself? What have you tried so far? Always have taken it to Lythia Dodge where we bought it Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Not that I am aware of

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* to Just Answer! I will be assisting you with your questions today. Give me one moment while I review this.
Automotive Expert
I’m very sorry that you’re having this issue and together, we will get this figured out. I will need your help too because I can’t see, touch, hear or smell anything that’s going on with your vehicle. We may also require some specialized testing tools in order to assist us in diagnosing the problems due to the complexity of today’s vehicles. JA will offer a phone call to you at an additional fee, it’s your choice. Please be patient with my replies, I reply back in question order received. If I send you an attachment, I will tell you, BUT, you will NOT get it on a phone; you must be on a tablet or PC. Please let me know when you are satisfied with my answers too so we can close out your question. Okay, so DO NOT attempt to drive the car like that, it's a fire hazard. I can't say for sure how it happened, but the dealer needs to look at this again to see what happened, especially if they had anything do do with fuel lines. I'm sure they will take care of you if they caused it to happen. Thanks again and all the best:) Ron

Would they have to remove a fuel line to work on the oil cooler?i just want to know the answer to the question above. We don't need to talkthis does not work?
Automotive Expert
Possibly, but I can't say for sure what they did. No call is needed for this either. The fuel tank is in the rear, but fuel lines may have been in there way going to the motor that they removed. Thanks again, Ron

It was the oil cooler that they replacedI knew that the fuel was in the rea but the gas was pouring out the front end of the car
Automotive Expert
I know, so they most likely disconnected fuel lines going to the motor. Thanks again and be well:) Ron

Thanks
Automotive Expert
You're welcome, thank you too and best of luck:) Ron
