Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and was towed to the dealer. the dealer diagnosed that the fuel pump was defective. the vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic, who discovered that the wires that were connected to the fuel pump were burned. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 138,000. *tr
The fuel pump went on my car and when i brought it to the repair shop they stated that the wiring and connectors on it had burned up, which caused a hole to be burned in the fuel pump line. i've read several other reports of this exact same thing happening and in some of those reports they stated that this was a fire hazard. i also had to purchase a new harness for the fuel pump since that was all screwed up as well. *tr
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. *js
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. *tr
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. *tr
