DURING AN INVESTIGATION OF A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH AT SOME PREVIOUS TIME HAD BEEN PATCHED WITH A GREY SUBSTANCE. THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH IS MOUNTED IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK, CONTAINED SOME GASOLINE WHICH HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE TANK UNDER PRESSURE. AS A FELT THE TOP OF THE PUMP (THE CAR WAS IDLING) I HAPPENED TO TOUCH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE TOP OF THE PUMP. THE CONNECTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND WAS SIZZLING. WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP I DISCOVERED THAT WIRES ON THE PUMP INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WERE BURNT AND THE INSULATION HAD MELTED. I REPLACED THE PUMP FROM SAAB AND I KEPT THE DAMAGED PUMP.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
