Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Leaking fuel on rear passenger side. Strong fuel smell inside cabin.
THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE DEVELOPED A CRACK AND STARTED LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK HAD A LARGE PUDDLE OF FUEL AND IT WAS RUNNING DOWN ALL SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. ALSO THERE ARE ACCESS PANELS UNDER THE BACK SEAT AREA OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THE PUMP MODULES. FUMES FROM THE FUEL ENTERED THE CAR FROM THOSE ACCESS POINTS AND MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE INSIDE THE CAR. I FIRST NOTICED THE SMELL AFTER FILLING THE THE FUEL TANK AND WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE FUEL RUNNING OUT ON TO MY DRIVEWAY.
NOTICED FLUID LEAKING IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER TIRE.UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND IT TO BE GASOLINE. THEN I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ACCUMULATED IN THE FUEL PUMP AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED SO THE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND AND UNDER THE SEAT WERE VERY NOTICEABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL!!!
PASSENGER SIDE AUXILIARY FUEL MODULE LEAKING GASOLINE UNDER REAR SEAT. OLD SEAL REPLACED, BUT UNIT STILL LEAKS GASOLINE WHEN THE TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. STARTED LEAKING OVER A YEAR AGO, WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I NOTICED IT AFTER FILLING THE CAR'S GAS TANK AT A LOCAL GAS STATION.
GAS TANK LEAKING AT SEAM WHERE THE TWO HALVES OF THE GAS TANK ARE PUT TOGETHER. THE GAS TANK IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC WHICH IS BY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH IS VERY HOT AND COULD CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION . MAN AT DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THIS WAS COMMON ,BUT NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO DO A RECALL. CAR CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE THE CAR. WHEN CAR IS PARKED YOU CAN ALSO SMELL GAS IN THE TRUNK AND OUTSIDE THE CAR.
GASOLINE VAPORS INSIDE PASSENGER CABIN WHILE DRIVING CAR. FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING AT SEAM AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH FUEL INJECTOR O-RINGS.
VEHICLE LEAKS FUEL WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. VERY UNSAFE AND LIFE THREATENING AS THIS IS A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. CHILDREN RIDE IN THESE VEHICLES. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF AT THE GAS STATION WHILE AND AFTER FILLING UP. 1/4 TAKE OF GAS DRIPPED OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING BUT CANNOT UPLOAD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,959.
FUEL LEAK BY REAR PASSENGER TIRE. LEAKS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND OFF. PRESSURE FROM HEAT OUTSIDE OR ENGINE RUNNING. DODGE DEALER PUSHED APPT. OUT 2 WEEKS. TOOK VEHICLE TO OWN MECHANIC AND IT WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FROM SECONDARY FUEL PUMP ON THE TOP OF IT.AND FUEL LEAKED IN TRANSIT AND CONSTANTLY IN DRIVEWAY.
THE PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A SMALL HOLE AND IS LEAKING FUEL INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CABIN SMELLS OF GASOLINE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 5+ MINUTES. ONLY OCCURS AT HIGHER THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AROUND THE LOCATION OF THE FUEL TANK. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.
FOR SOME REASON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT IS LEAKING TO WHERE IT CAUSES A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND ALSO DRIPS A PUDDLE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. IN ALL MY YEARS OF OWNING VEHICLES NEVER HAD GAS LEAKS. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT BUT I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MOST ARE SPEAKING OF IT LEAKING NEAR THE EXHAUST. I'M NOT THE ONE TO COMPLAIN BUT I'M JUST SPEAKING ON SOMETHING I KNOW IS NOT RIGHT! THE ODOR IS VERY STRONG INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ANY GAS LEAK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE SAFE. THANKS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ODOR OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRACTURE RESULTED IN FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.
MY TANK HAS TO BE LEAKING BECAUSE I REMOVED MY BACK SEAT AND FOUND GAS. RECENTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A CHL AND THE GAS SMELL AND THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LOCATION OF THE GAS SMELL. THEY TOLD ME I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE CANISTER IN WHICH THEY WOULD GLADLY DO FOR $$$$. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THE GAS WAS UNDER MY SEAT. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE AND SON .
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, VEHICLE'S ENGINE FAILED AND ALL SYSTEMS WENT DEAD. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND INTO A SAFE AREA. AFTER BEING TESTED BY MECHANIC, HE SAID THE EDM HAD A STORED FAULT WITH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR HOWEVER NO CURRENT FAULTS. CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS STILL REPLACED AND CAR WOULD STILL NOT TURN ON. MECHANIC TOLD ME HE READ SEVERAL STORIES OF ALL WIRE HARNESSES BEING REPLACED AND EVEN EDM BEING REPLACED HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES TO PERSIST. *TR
IN EARLY OCTOBER 2014 I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY FUEL TANK HAD A FACTORY DEFECT WHERE THE FUEL PUMP LOCKING TABS WERE MOLDED INTO THE TANK. THE LEAK WAS AROUND THE SEAM WHERE ATTACHED. THIS IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING. THE TANK WAS LEAKING FUEL ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE. I APPROACHED DODGE ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS TO RECOVER THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH WERE $1,736.05. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED EACH TIME. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE SENT DOCUMENTATION AND PICTURES TO SHOW THEM. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE NAME OF THE VENDER WHO MADE THE TANK AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING! THE TANK IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I NEED HELP TO RECOVER MY COST FOR SOMEONE'S FAULTY PRODUCT. I HAVE OWNED AUTOMOBILES FOR 48 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUEL TANK UNTIL NOW. *TR
