Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem #1

: the contact stated the needle of the fuel gauge became stuck, and the fuel warning light did not illuminate. After the contact filled the fuel tank, the indicator needle did not move. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer.

Other Fuel System Pump problem #2

My Mitsubishi elclipse sputters and dies when there is less than 1/2 tank fuel. Mitsubishi 2004 has a recall on the fuel return line hose fitting on the fuel pump, which could cause a fire. Mitsubishi claims my car was manufactured on a different production line, therefore, it is not their problem. Really?.

Other Fuel System problem #3

Electrical cable for fuel pump caught fire. My daughter was able to park and exit the car safely before it combusted but it took 8 minutes for the car to basically explode. I think this is very dangerous for a family with kids or someone that wouldn't be as fast as my kid to get out of the car. We found out the same car/year has a recall but this was not issued to my specific vehicle. . Read more...
