| The incident: during fill up at gas station, automatic shut off of the gas pump occurred when tank was full. however, gas overflowed from underneath fill location (above wheel well) and leaked all over ground. this has been happening since the car had 80,000 on the odometer. i have tried different ways of pumping gas into car, all with same result of overflow. this seems to be a common problem. | |||

| I have a 2007 chrysler sebring. recently within the last year the car would stall at stop lights and then later this week wouldnt start. towed to the shop once and the vehicle started for the shop and was unable to diagnose the problem. so i drove this car throughout the weekend and had no issues with it. monday morning my wife goes to get in the car and it wouldnt start had to have the car towed back to the shop. this time problem never went away. my shop where i took the vehicle started looking into the problem and found out the fuel pump connector had melted causing the fuel pump to stop working. my concern is that melting wires and connectors right around a fuel source could cause a deadly fire all it needed was a spark for the car to ignite with a child in the back seat. i know many other people have had the same stalling issues and i feel this is something that possibly needs investigated before someone loses their lives for a faulty wiring issue with these cars. | |||
