I was driving to my sisters and was going towards a light , going to turn left and before I was able to do that the car went dead , the fuel pump went, the car just went dead and almost caused an accident, people peeping their horns, telling me to get off the road etc. I had to call a tow truck in the middle of the night. I brought it to a chrysler dealership and had the fuel pump and filter replaced, which cost me $663 and for a single mother I can not afford.

While driving vehicle idled real high, then slowed down. Put the key in the ignition and the vehicle started up, but it did not move. Had a mechanic to look at the vehicle and was told that the computer was burnt out. Then she had a second opinon, and was told that she had a fuel pump air leak, and this caused her to have power reduction while driving. She states she has never received a recall on her vehicle.

The oem fuel pump fits into the gas tank. The positive wire leading into the tank shorted out melting the wire insulation on the outside of the gas tank melting the plastic into causing gas to leak out through the hole it created. This gas flowed over the bare wire. The same wire continues into the inside of the gas tank and it continued to short in there causing the plastic inside of the gas tank to turn brown from the heat. My concern is a spark would have been created perticularly if the tank was partially full the fumes would have ignited causing a serious explosion. The dealership where I bought the replacement part said there are no recalls and the same holds true with the data on your site. The concern should be there are thousands of this model type out there that may have the same dangerous condition.

Ongoing oil leak since purchased. Fuel pump went out. Was told rear main seal was going out of car. Oil getting in radiator, mech. Said head gaskets were bad. Timing belt broke while driving 65mph, causing piston to bend valve. Front brakes have always squeaked when releasing, and has always rattled behind front wheels when going over bumps. What a lemon!! Problems since purchased! Alot of people have problems with these! There should be recall on these due to head gasket problems! I expected to have problems, but not this soon! Problems started soon after purchase, and dealer kept telling me nothing was wrong with it! That's why I bought a newer model car! My klunker ran better than this and with less problems! I will definitely think twice before buying another chrysler product, especially after reading about all the problems with head gaskets that seem to be getting ignored!!
