One problem related to fuel delivery has been reported for the 1997 Dodge Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In the words of the Chrysler fire investigator. ". . . Fire appears to have started after the vehicle sustained a hard impact to the front area of the vehicle. . . " the report goes on to say that the fire was not caused by a manufacturing defect. I am very concerned that if this vehicle had not caught fire it would not have been a total loss and that it appears to me that the reason it caught fire is a design defect involving the electric fuel pump. I would think that a provision should be made to shut down the electric fuel pump on an impact which breaks a fuel line. This seems to be a significant safety problem which should be looked at and corrected.
