My husband was letting his 96 Dodge warm up after a big snow and ice storm and someone stopped to tell him it was on fire. The fire started under the bed of the truck . They tried to put it out with extinguishers and water but to no avail it was completely lost by the time the fire truck arrived.
Fuel pump on my 1996 Dodge pickup failed to pump gas to engine in August of 2000, while parked . The cost of replacement was approx. 450. 00 dollars. I am concerned only because I paid $25000. 00 dollars for this truck and figured that it sholud of lasted at least 100,000 miles. It just irritates me that Chrysler will not, nor have they offered to look into this defective part, fuel pump. Also, transmission started slipping in August of 2000, after several attempts to contact Chrysler, nothing has been done to correct this problem. The transmission slips (automatic) when shifting into third. This should also be considered a safety hasazrd.
Grey wire from fuel pump to sending unit in fuel tank failed, bad connection over heated and melted in fuel tank. The fuel pump failed as a result.
