Filling up the gas results in a strong odor of gas in the cabin and gas leaking out of the right rear wheel well. Also caused the engine to sputter and turn off. Found content in the https://www.300cforums.com/ forum that speaks of the issue.

Took my car to the dealer to have the fuel pump replaced. Car was repaired and picked up only to have it returned for a fuel leak complaint. Dealership said there was no leak nor evidence of a leak, however, the car is leaking fuel. After my experience I searched for any information on this topic and found others that have had a similar issue with the repair/complaint. This has not been resolved after a call to the dealership owner.

I have 130k mileage on my Chrysler 300 2007 model. For about 3months, I’ve been experiencing fuel leaks from the bottom rear corner of the driver side just directly beneath my fuel tank, which also makes both the exterior and interior of the car smell of gas. I took the car for maintenance and the fuel tank seals were replaced after my fuel pump was changed. There was no visible fuel spill after the rear seats were removed and inspected but there was constant droplets of fuel from beneath the rear left side of the car. I don’t know what else to do and what can cause this?.. besides, whenever I put fuel in my tank, I can smell fuel coming from the AC vents. Also, my airbag warning light has been on for a long time on my dashboard. Help!!!

I here to report what seems to be an on-going issue with the older model Chrysler 300's. I have an 2006 and just recently started smelling gas fumes or an gas odor inside my car. I had a mechanic look at the problem. He assumes it was a cracked or damaged seal. He took the backseat out and looked. The ring was intact but the fuel filter had a small crack in it. We fixed it and thought the problem was over. He said the car would have a heavy fuel smell for a couple of days but would go away once the car was aired out. 3 DAYS go by and though the fumes remained. Now,i see that gas isactually leaking from the underside of the rear passenger side. And the smell is still there. I am taking the car to another repair shop to do a more through exam of the car. Leaking gas should be the least of my problems.

On multiple occasions I refueled my vehicle without topping off. A strong odor of fuel can be smelled in the cabin of the car after fueling while driving and even more when stopped at a traffic light. When I parked to investigate the strong gasoline smell, raw fuel could be seen running from behind the wheel well onto the ground. I turned off the vehicle and waited for the fuel to stop hitting the ground before starting and driving the vehicle again. My concern was the fuel leaking onto the hot exhaust and causing a fire.
