Fuel pump drain plug leak. There is a leak in the fuel pump of my 1995 plymouth neon. I had an incident and brought it to a mechanic. The mechanic said that chrysler did not have any recalls on it and they do not sell the plug by itself. The mechanic said that I would have to buy a new fuel pump. You see the problem is that the fuel pump itself has a drain plug and that deteriorated and fuel began to leak. I think this needs further investigating. I was lucky that I caught it on time. Think of those families who will not be so lucky. I still have the same fuel pump. We just installed a plug on it.

The first problem began with the timing belt breaking, I returned to casino auto sales to find a solution,their mechanic " fixed" the problem so I thought only to have the same problem occur again about a month and half later with a bad fuel pump added to the problem so I went somewhere else to have that fixed. About a week after I purchased the vehicle I was taken to sears to purchase a new set of tires, I was told by a sears rep. That I was lucky to not have had an accident because the wrong size tires were put on the car which caused me to have problems with the right passenger side tired with wobbling. My vehicle then began to smoke from the steering coloum whenever the head lights are turned on, I havent even bothered to go back to casino because I wouldnt trust them to actuaalt fix it the right and honest way do to the fact that I bought the car with cash so they basically sold me a lemon.

Ongoing problem with fuel leakages from fuel tank. Dealer notified. *ak there was a gasoline smell and leak at the vehicles right rear area. The fuel pump seal was determined to be the cause and was replaced. The A/C was not cold enough due to expansion valve failure and it was replaced.

My neon has been intermittently stalling out when slowing for stops, starting the vehicle and intermittently when I am at idle. This becomes an issue when I am pulling off the highway and the car stalls, thus making it difficult for vehicles behind me to stop in time. No crashes have incurred yet, but they are possible. I have taken it in 3 times now to lebanon chrysler-plymouth for repair. 11-19: fuel pump and various cables replaced. Problem returned. !2-31: idle memory needed to be reset. 1-2-02: throttle body and thermostat need replaced...all of these items were completed on different dates for the same problem. My car is currently at lebanon chrysler and hopefully the problem will be fixed completely this time, but it has been a safety issue while I drive. I leave sufficient distance between myself and other vehicles, but I cannot predict how others will drive. Thank you for your time and please let me know what you can do to help. Lisa brady.

I have had nothing but trouble with this car. Fuel pump had to be replaced after only a few months of owning (bought it new). I have not been notified of all recalls on this car. I was told after the last incident, when my car engine would cut off with no warning at highway speeds, that I needed a new fuel pump. $500 later I found out that there was a recall on powertrain control module and screws that could cause stalling of the engine which is what I had explained to the dealer that the problem was. They never mentioned any recalls to me.
