Cel P0455 & Fuel Sender Unit
A new level of Chrysler incompetence...had engine code P0455 (large emissions leak) off and on the last month or so. No problem with driveability, just an annoying CEL. Finally, with MAJOR misgivings took the car in to the dealer. They did not disappoint. First told me it is the fuel sender unit and needs to be ordered. Fine, they are the experts, however, fuel sender unit has a separate code P0462or 463 or something and this was not being thrown. THE NEXT DAY, the car started exhibiting signs of a fuel sender malfunction! The fuel gauge is totally screwed up....the gas cap is stuck on with some sort of suction. When you take the cap off, the car is sucking in air!! Took the car in to be "fixed" today. Well, new unit installed, car is reeking of gas, fuel gauge still screwed and when making a sudden stop, heard a tidal wave of gas swishing around under the car!!!! This is going back in this afternoon. All this when a piece of black tape over the freaking CEL would have cost $.50 and fixed the "problem".
However, the dealership would be more than happy to get me in one of the three 2008 roadsters that have been sitting on the lot.
