Fuel/Propulsion System
I have been smelling a strong gas odor while driving on the road especially when the tank is full. Today while parked in my driveway i noticed a puddle of gas under the car too. The puddle was under the left rear seat. After some research i found a very common problem with these cars seems to be the fuel pump under the rear seat (where my 6 and 7 year old kids sit). I pulled up the rear seat and found the pump is…

While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever i began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when i am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. My car…

The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover and allow fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection. The attached picture is the burn on the inside the of tank. Dodge is aware of this enough that when they sell a new pump to replace they supply a new wiring harness which we think moves the ground. In additon on…

After filling my charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while i am driving, i lose the power steering and i am unable restart it right away. It happens every time i fill up, and i have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.

After filling up the gas tank, the vehicle will stall for no apparent reason. It will restart but immediately stall again causing me to restart it again. It will do so 5 to 10 times before running normally again. It doesn't seem to matter at what speed but mostly at slower speeds. I have been caught in lanes on the freeway and it could lead to a very dangerous situation especially here in california. This car has…

Strong smell of raw fuel after car was delivered on march 4, 2016. There is a leak in the fuel system which has not yet been rectified by the dealership as of march 17, 2016. When the car is running, you can smell fuel (raw gas). It actually was coming in to the cabin via the fresh air vents on the dash. It's worse when the car is parked or at a stop light. I detected what i thought was a loose fuel line but…
