Consumer Description

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROMPTED BY A FUEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING. AT TIMES WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. WHEN THE TANK GETS TO ABOUT 3/4 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. I HAVE LOOKED IN SEVERAL REPAIR FORUMS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTING ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 700.00 TO 1,000.00 DOLLARS. IN THESE FORUMS MECHANICS ARE ADVISING NOT TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WITH MOPAR PARTS AS THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE SUBSTANDARD OR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE SENSORS. TO ADD FURTHER FRUSTRATION, I CANNOT GET AN ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
