Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
Heavy gas smell upon fill-up. Seems to be inside vehicle
Vehicle had a strong smell of fuel. There are many complaints regarding this same issue on the internet. The offending part was auxiliary fuel pump had to be replaced that is mounted on the top of the gas tank underneath the back passenger seat.
Fuel transfer pump assembly failed on this model and was told that no mopar parts in the country are available. The service group working on this car when conferring with chrysler parts. That there have been allot of complaints on this right side assembly. I have formally provided chrysler a compliant today. I was told by the repair shop doing the work, that he feels that chrysler should recall as the passenger r side assembly seems to be the worst of the two in this vehicle. Can you look into this. Luckily we were able to get an after market part from indiana so we can drive the car. In it's present state the gas fumes radiating from under the back seats were dangerous that could lead to a extreme danger to the occupants. Regards,
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler 300. The contact stated when adding gasoline to the fuel tank it would spill out. The fuel filler neck caused the fuel tank to malfunction. The fuel fumes would also linger in the interior of the vehicle which made her sick on the stomach. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on four occasions where they replaced the filler cap but the fuel continued to spill back out after refueling. The engine light also continued to illuminate and would not shut off. Each time the failure occurred the dealer would repair it under warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 2,506.
