Consumer Description

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. *TR
