FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING SOUTH, FROM MICHIGAN, HAD DRIVEN APPROX. 600 MILES OF A 700+ MILE TRIP, VEHICLE STARTED "CHUGGING" AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, DECELERATING, UNABLE ACCELERATE, THIS WAS NOT IN AN AREA OF DIFFERING ELEVATIONS, IT WOULD ALMOST STALL THEN SURGE, THEN REPEAT. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT BEING USED AT THAT TIME DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY, INTO A STORE PARKING LOT, SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES, ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPG, HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT BEGAN AGAIN. AGAIN, IT WAS PULLED OVER SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS TODAY. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE FATALLY INJURED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LISTED ABOVE IN 2011 AT CITY AUTO PLAZA WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE SERVED MY PURPOSE AS IT WAS FOR WORK AND NOW SCHOOL ONLY FUEL EFFICIENT. ABOUT 6 OR 7 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND NOT FAULTY CODES WERE DISCOVERED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES UNTIL FRUSTRATED I PARKED THE VEHICLE AROUND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 2013 AND USED MY OTHER VEHICLE FOR SCHOOL. THE OTHER DAY I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME NOT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WERE PURCHASED MY DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOLKS ARE NOT POSITIVE OR BENEFICIAL TO ME. THE MECHANIC AT BUDDY RAYS AUTO CARE IN CANON CITY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A CONNECTION WIRING SYSTEM THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM THEIR EXPLANATION THE VEHICLE WAS IN DANGER OF CATCHING FIRE IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPORT THIS MATTER AND THEY HAVE NOT ASSISTED TELLING ME INSTEAD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN THEIR SHOP. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER POSED BY THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A COST OF 765.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND WIRING CONNECTORS PLUS LABOR. MY CONCERN FOR THIS CAR HAVING LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT HAVE FACE THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING PROBLEMS AND AFTER RULING OUT OTHER POTENTIAL CAUSES, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG CONNECTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS SHORTED OUT CAUSING A LARGE HOLE BURNED INTO THE SEALED PLASTIC TOP OF THE PUMP, WHEN THE CONNECTION WAS PULLED FROM IT CONTACTS I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS SATURATED WITH FUEL. I CONTACTED A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP DRAWING TO MANY AMPS THEREFORE CAUSING THE SMALL CONNECTORS TO MELT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE HEAT, HE ADVISED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL SEBRINGS AS WELL AS DODGE CALIBER MODELS, AT THIS TIME CHRYSLER HAS NO RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL A NEW FUEL PUMP AT A PRICE OF NEARLY 700.00 DOLLARS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IN TIME THE FUEL WOULD HAVE IGNITED DUE TO THE OPEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR MELTED THOUGH AT THE GAS STATION AFTER A FILL UP. THE CAR STARTED BUT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. FAILED TO START AFTER THAT. AFTER A TOW THE REAR SEAT WAS REMOVED AND THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR REMOVED. THE CONNECTOR WHEN REMOVED STILL CONTAINED THE PIN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MOLDED INTO THE FUEL PUMP. FUEL RUSHED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR, FELT VERY LUCKY IT WAS GAS AND NOT FUMES. IF THE TANK HAD NOT BE FULL A FIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN INEVITABLE BASED ON THE MELTED BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FUEL PUMP.
NHTSA complaint #10464211 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE INCIDENT: DURING FILL UP AT GAS STATION, AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP OCCURRED WHEN TANK WAS FULL. HOWEVER, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM UNDERNEATH FILL LOCATION (ABOVE WHEEL WELL) AND LEAKED ALL OVER GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR HAD 80,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS OF PUMPING GAS INTO CAR, ALL WITH SAME RESULT OF OVERFLOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR WOULD STALL AT STOP LIGHTS AND THEN LATER THIS WEEK WOULDN'T START. TOWED TO THE SHOP ONCE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR THE SHOP AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SO I DROVE THIS CAR THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. MONDAY MORNING MY WIFE GOES TO GET IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. THIS TIME PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. MY SHOP WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR HAD MELTED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MELTING WIRES AND CONNECTORS RIGHT AROUND A FUEL SOURCE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY FIRE ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SPARK FOR THE CAR TO IGNITE WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I KNOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME STALLING ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POSSIBLY NEEDS INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIVES FOR A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS.
