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. | |||

My car has had to have a circut board, fuel pump, fuel filter, and new gaskets at only two years old and 39280 miles. i feel that the circut board could cause crash or injury because i cannot tell how fast i am driving or if i have gas in my car. i was told at the dealer that there was a neon with the same problem (circut board) that they had fixed just the week before. | |||
