I have been looking for the fuel filler neck for my 2000 chrysler cirrus for over a month. it has been on factory backorder and from what i have been told it is not even being made...leaving me with a car that is unsafe to drive. also, because the part rusted out it ended up damaging my fuel pump and i needed to replace it...costing me over $300 alone. *tr
2000 chrysler cirrus lx 2.4 liter engine. car parked, with engine off. fire starts in engine compartment, started by either the fuel lines on the top of the engine or the power steering unit on the rear left of the engine by the reservoir. there were no signs of overheating, no smoke and no strange noises prior to the fire. the fire started approximately 10 mins after i got out of the vehicle. *tr
While driving 2000 dodge stratus i experienced a fuel pump failure. upon inspection of the fuel pump it clearly shows a short of the four wire electrical wire connection that is housed within the fuel tank. this failure did not result in an explosion or fire however if conditions were right this could have caused fire or an explosion of the fuel cell potentially resulting in loss of property and life. i have the part and photographs which are available upon request.*ak
