While the vehicle was parked, fluid was leaking from underneath the vehicle. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced, and replaced it. However, the problem recurred. The time belt cover was a problem.

The meter read less than half a tank of gas, the van ran out of gas, then the engine stalled. The consumer started the vehicle and began to drive when soon after the check engine light illuminated. The consumer was told the problem was a misfired cylinder, the fuel fuel pump was buried inside the gas tank, and when the fuel level dropped below the fuel pump, the pump heated up and sucked in air instead of the gasoline.

The original fuel pump failed. Replacement oem pump leaked gas out of defective seal when tank was filled, resulting in a significant gas spill and fire hazard. Dealed explained that when pump is replaced they do not check for tank seal integrity. Replacement pump replaced at no additonal charge.

Fuel is leaking between interface sensor module subject to recall 99V21600/ manufacturer's recall 845. Both independent Chrysler and service representatives claimed fuel tank was warped in the area which was leaking fuel. Some responsability should be on Chrysler. Problem doesn't seem like normal wear and tear. This is a great deal of safety concern to consumer. Consumer states root is the cause of leaking fuel, distortion of molded plastic fuel tank indicates improper manufacturer design.
