As i approached my car there was a heavy odor of fuel. The next morning under the back right tire there was a puddle of fuel. I removed the back seat and under the cover there was a puddle of fuel on top of the plastic of the gas tank.

I filled my car up, 20 minutes later, the car reeked of gas. I got out and looked under the vehicle, and there's gas leaking for the passenger side by the back tire. I looked online, and there are complaint's dating back to 2012. Including ones on this site. I'm hoping dodge issues a recall soon. Because i'm concerned about my family's safety.
