“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10000076, filed 2002-12, 124,000 miles“The car's computer, or ecu malfunctioned twice. No power was reaching the coil, hence there was no spark and the car would not start. At first the auto shutoff delay was replaced. But the day after the car was fixed, it once again stalled. It took one week to diagnose the problem: bad computer in the car. This might have been disastrous had it happened on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10045929, filed 2003-11, 59,535 miles“The vehicle's fuel tank had a small extra hole in it which was plugged by a small vinyl plug. It appeared that he fuel ate through the plastic plug and allowed fuel to leak out.”
NHTSA complaint #10073578, filed 2004-06, 85,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #765886, filed 2002-08“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.”
