Fuel/Propulsion System
Fuel pump (top) under the rear passenger seat develops leaks and spills fuel into and explosive fumes into the passenger area of the car. In researching the problem on google i'm finding this is a very common problem with the 2011 dodge charger. If this is such a widespread and dangerous problem i cannot for the life of me understand why nhtsa has not issued a recall? Problem occurs after a fill up. Discoloration on…

The auxiliary fuel pump fail and leaked into the rear right hand passenger compartment. I have spoken to the dealer and manufacture and no one is willing to help with the very big fire hazard . The leak happens when the car is filled with fuel and the tank has ore the half a tank of fuel.

I smelled the strong odor of gasoline inside my charger. I brought it to the dealership who advised that the vehicle was leaking gas from around the o ring at the fuel pump which is located under the rear passenger seat. The mechanic tightened the cover to the fuel pump and returned the vehicle. About a month later the vehicle was now visibly leaking gas fonto the ground and the fuel smell inside the vehicle was…

Noticed gas smell immediately after filling gas tank completely up. A couple days later i had a very strong gas smell inside vehicle and while driving. Started noticing that there was a moderate size puddle under vehicle where the rear seat is. I've seen many reports of this happening and it disturbs me that there hasn't been a recall.

I have been smelling gas inside of the cabin of my car for a while usually only in the morning or after my car has been sitting a while. Finally this morning, 2/5/2019, the smell was so bad that i had a headache and my eyes were burning and so took it to an auto mechanic shop to look at it. They stated there was a puddle of gasoline sitting on my fuel pump that is under the passenger side seat. That is the side my…

To whom it may concern, i recently had a very strong odor of gasoline inside of my vehicle and noticed my fuel efficiency didn't appear to be as good as normal. I noticed on christmas eve 12/24/18 that i had a visible fuel trail on the outside ground, near the rear passenger-side door as it was parked. I have since not driven my vehicle out of concern that the issue would result in something much worse. I have a…

I smelled gas when i filled my car up with gas. I looked online and seen other complaints and where to find where the smell was coming from. I lifted up the rear seat and there was fuel sitting on top of the fuel pump right under the seat. There is no protection between the seat and fuel pump. So now my check engine light is on which is deactivating my remote start. I feel like this should be a recall and i should…

Strong fuel order when fill gas tank. I looked online it looks like a common issue. This is extremely dangerous someone's going to get killed if it hasn't happened already. The gas leaks out at the top of the fuel sending unit located under rear seat on the passengers side. When i took the seat off there was a puddle of fuel. Again this is extremely dangerous and seems to be a very common issue after reading online.

I started smelling gas inside my car. I noticed a wet place on the ground under where my gas tank is. I took my car to my mechanic. He stated that when the tank is full, it is leaking on the top right side of my tank because that side is not welded correctly together. This is a safety hazard. I have children that ride in my car. My mechanic said just the cost of a new tank is $1,100.00. That is not including the…

Malfunction indicator light has come on twice in past month. First time a vacuum cannister was replaced. The 2nd time i told the dealer that i also smelled gas. I was told the the right fuel pump is "cracked" and a replacement will cost over $900. My car has only 35,000 miles on it. After seeing all of the other complaints about this, why hasn't a recall been issued? *tt

When i fill my tank, the fuel pump under the back seat on the passenger side over fills and leaks raw gasoline into the cab. I have looked online and found hundreds of people with 2011 and 2012 chargers with the same problem. Second i had a head light go out on the passenger side. I replaced the bulb and still isn't working, checked the fuses and those are,good to. Maybe it's a faulty wire harness. Also found people…

After fueling my vehicle above 3/4ths (but not over full) a fuel leak started causing extreme fuel vapors to be present inside and outside of car. Even when the car is not being driven (while vehicle is turned off). The fumes are so strong that they fill my garage and can be smelled from 40 - 50 feet away and i have to drive with the windows down. This is a serious safety concern. Many other forums have been read…

When tank is filled, a strong fuel odor occurred inside car, along with a puddle directly in front of right rear tire. Dealership first "fixed" secondary fuel pump but problem recurred at next fill up. Subsequently the primary fuel pump was replaced. It is extremely fortunate this did not result in a fire or death with my kids riding in this car on a daily basis. Dodge knows about issue as tons of complaints can be…

For several months when filling gas tank up i would smell a strong gas odor in the cabin of the car. After the gas level would start to go down the oder would go away. Well, the last few days the odor got really strong and it didn't matter how much gas was in the tank, it made me and my family really nauseous, and after a few days of this the check engine light came on and the car started sputtering like it wanted…
