Fuel Pump Problems of Chrysler Cirrus

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.

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.

(1)a 1999 chysler Cirrus was run to near empty on gas. The gauge read between a quarter tank and empty on the way to the gas station. Upon arriving at the gas station the tank was filled. After filling with gas, I proceeded to try after start my car and it failed to function. My husband who is a self-employeed mechanic thought it to be a problem with the fuel pump. (2)upon removal of the gas tank unit and the fuel pump assembly, we found there to be a possible hazard with the wiring harness located inside of the gas tank unit itself. The wires actually began to melts together instead of disturbing the fuel pump fuse located nuetrally on the fuse panel in another area of the car. We feel that if the melting of the wires had been more intense that there could have been an explosion due to the mixture of heat and combustable gases/fumes. (3)the fuel pump was replaced with a new unit and installed.
