My car was parked, upon trying to start the car, no luck. Had the car towed to the dealer. Fuel pump was the initial diagnosis, but then also the wiring harness was melted. $642. 69 later my car was running. Not a happy camper.

My car has stalled several times. Started in December 2014 car stalled an I turned it back on basically turning heat off. Since then it randomly sputtered. Driving a month later it shut off on me while driving, I turned heat off again thinking it was that. Took it to the shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. A month later engine light comes on an code is the one for gas cap. I bought a new one, 2 weeks later while parked waiting for my kids to come out of school my car dies acting like it wants to start. Later to find out the problem is the fuel pump! the wires inside fuel pump and the harness were burnt up ! it's really wired and fixed. I didn't get a new fuel pump just new wires. Can someone please let me know their situation! I'm scared to even get back in the car especially with two kids who sit in the back seat.

I bought this car used with a 90 day full warranty and 2 year power train. In the first 90 days I took the car back to Toyota used lot who in turn took it to Dodge to investigate the loose steering and also the stalling issues. Dodge repeatedly said nothing is wrong. To date, a year later, they wont fix the fuel pump which I have learned is a known issue on this model/year and causes stalling. I have stalled on the freeway and have children. . . . Its very upsetting.

Car quit running. Mechanic found top of fuel pump wiring burnt and hole melted through top of fuel pump.

I have a 2007 sxt Caliber, bought it brand new in 07, but now I have this issue. My husband drove the car to work, on his way home he stopped and filled the tank up then he went to eat at p. Hut. After we at he went to start it and nothing. It would act like it wanted to, but wouldn't. Well today we look it up on what it could possibly be and some said it was camshaft and crankshaft sensors. Well we replaced them and still nothing. So we decided to take the fuel pump out and behold the connectors going into the fuel pump were fried. Which could've caught fire. Called Dodge to see if they had any recalls and no they don't they said. I told them I wasn't the only one who has had this issue. They said well take it to the dealer but you will have to pay for the repairs, since the car is older and has some miles on it. My 2 children sit in the back of this car and now knowing that it could've started fire with them in it, really pisses me off and there's nothing they are gonna do about it. Really???? I will be going to the dealership and showing them what happened to fuel pump connectors and asking what they are gonna do about it. It's not like I'm taking the fuel pump out and burning it up. This is an issue that needs to be looked at and taken care of before someone gets hurt.

Vehicle rolled to a stop along the road. Was unable to restart. I removed the rear seat to inspect the fuel pump and connections. Both the top of the plastic fuel pump and it's plastic connection was melted from an electrical melt down, just millimeters from the full gas tank. This could've result in an explosion and fatality. Apparently from what I've been reading online this is quite common with this model. Something needs to be done before there is a fatality.

I was driving and the engine quit running I coasted into a turnaround had to be towed to dealer they said wiring at the fuel pump in the tank overheated shorted and burned out the pump the repair was costly and they would not help I do not see this as normal wear but a safety and design flaw.

After days of car hesitating and trying to stall, vehicle broke down and was unable to be started in parking lot of local grocery store. Vehicle was towed home and after further investigation was found to be a faulty fuel pump causing the issue. The fuel pump was changed. Old fuel pump was factory part, and was found to have burnt wiring and melted pins. After further investigation have found this is a common problem, and am severely concerned as to why part was never recalled.
