    Fuel leak from passenger side fuel pump. After fueling vehicle. And fuel smell in vehicle. I just hope no one smokes next to my car. From the research i have done this is a on going problem. Dodge needs to fix this problem for good.

    Was putting gasoline in my 2012 dodge charger and it would only take a small amount of fuel before spitting it back out at you which is very dangerous. There is a recall for this but not for the 2012 model charger sxt 3.6 liter. The dealer is charging me over $1,700 dollars to fix and the 2006 through 2011 have this issue. We had this same exact issue with our 2005 dodge durango and it was recalled and fixed twice.…

    No matter where we are, whether stationary, or in motion, the vehicle has an overwhelming smell of gasoline after we have fueled up the car. Today, we noticed gasoline leaking from the rear passenger side undercarriage. A quick search online indicates innumerable similar complaints, with chrysler failing to offer a remedy to this situation.

    Fuel/Propulsion System

    Fuel smell enters the cabin causing light headed ness where operator or occupants almost pass out. Massive headache, burning eyes and sudden onset vomiting due to exposure to raw fuel odors. Has been to dealership 3 times for the issue and they deny it. Currently there a 4th time for same issue. I feel this is a major safety issue and without addressing will put the public at risk. This is a police car.
