While filling up my gas tank the fuel spilled everywhere and when I checked it out the fuel neck line (filler) broke away from the frame of the car. I cannot find a replacement and Chrysler has these items on back order I understand. I am wondering if their is a recall. I have a 1999 Dodge Stratus.
The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Stratus. The contact stated that the vehicle caught fire while parked and was caused by the fuel pressure pump underneath the hood. The fire and police departments extinguished the fire. The vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed. The failure occurred before he received a recall notice. The vehicle is currently at the junk yard. The NHTSA recall number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 68,000.
My girl friend came home and said the car was smoking so I went to look at it and yes smoke was coming from the firewall side of the motor right above the exhaust manifold . I did some research and found a recall on the high pressure hose for the power steering pump so I called the number given and Chrysler set me up with haddad Dodge in bakersfield California we set an appointment for the repairs to be done , I brought the car to them and they kept it for 4 days I called them about the car and they said it was ready I picked it up later that afternoon drove approx 6 miles home it was smoking slightly but no where near as bad as before so I thought nothing of it , maybe just residual from before the repair. The following morning I drove from real rd to fair view Ave and the car was smoking heavily I stopped in front of a friends house opened the hood and there was a fire burning on the back side of the engine luckily there was a garden hose hooked up out side the house , I grabbed that and put the fire out . Could smell fuel heavily parked the car and have not moved it since just a week ago about a month after all this haddad Dodge left me a message saying that my parts had come in and they would like to set an appointment for the work to be done . According to them they had already done the work no body told me that the work was not complete quite the con-trey I was told it was fixed and ready to go the service attendant was so busy on his phone and cell phone he hardly spoke a word to me I had to find the car in there lot so I could go home , why would anybody in there right mind let someone drive a car that could catch fir e.
