Complaint Description: the fuel pump shorted out inside the fuel tank. we were told this could have caused a very large expolosion, killing everyone inside the vehicle and anyone near by. we have the faulty fuel pump, which clearly shows burn marks. a mitsubishi customer service represenative assured me the vehicle would not have exploded; however, he could or would not explain what safety devices might be in place to prevent such an explosion. i am trading this vehicle tomorrow (june 18) because i am afraid to drive it. the vehicle is in the repair shop having the fuel pump replaced so i cannot provide the vin # at this time; however, i will have any further information you may require should you wish to follow up on this report. *ak .
