Had fuel pump replaced a couple months ago. Then at gas station wouldnt start at all, had a tow truck take it to a mechanic and that mechanic tapped on gas tank and it started and said fuel pump needs to be replace so I called the dealer where I bought it because the new fuel pump had a warranty. They said they found nothing wrong with fuel pump but found problem wirh #2 selinoid and they replaced it. Two weeks later ths car was driving fine but when I got home and turned off the car for a couple hours it started right up. So I turned it off and on a couple times then the engine surged then hestitated then died. It did it twice after starting it then turning itvon about 5 times trying to find out what could be wrong with it. I bought the car in February 2017. I had both strut mounts fixed, fuel pump, an air valve from coolant do not remember exact name, #2 selinoid now this problem. I still owe on this car and its not reliable and scared to drive it and wreck.

The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that there were strong fumes of fuel coming from outside the vehicle and a puddle underneath the vehicle. The contact was unable to determine where the fluid originated. An independent mechanic inspected the fuel tank, which was removed, and determined that there was a fire near where the return line entered into the fuel tank. The components were internally burned and needed to be replaced. The mechanic replaced the fuel tank assembly. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 04V313000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 03V443000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 91,000.

After accelerating from a stop at a traffic light, the car accelerator or throttle began to stick and accelerate intensely, going up to 80mph with the brake engaged. I pulled off the main road, continuing to brake as hard as I could until I was able to safely shut down the car. I had no control over the car and narrowly avoided a serious accident. Prior to this incident, my car has had every service recommended by the manufacturer manual.
