My Chrysler 2006 300 C smells of heavy oder of fuel inside occupant seating area. upon investigation, found the fuel pump situated behind driver, under back seat, and the modulator is situated behind passenger seat. both fuel and assembly are exposed to occupants, leaking and accumulating pools of fuel. there is no safety barrier between the fuel and occupants! this is a critical DESIGN FAILURE for occupant safety!!! The modulator is made of plastic and exposed to caustic chemicals (fuel) which causes premature corrosive damage exposing all occupants of vehicle to multiple health risks including DEATH!! This vehicle needs to be recalled!!! and not only fix the issue with leaking fuel, the vehicle needs a fire proof barrier between the fuel system and the occupants.

The fuel tank leaks fuel into the cabin amy any time the tank is filled more than half way up; that or any time it is more than a quarter full and driven on a steep hill. This has been happening for about 7 or 8 years or more now...it started in around 2012 I think, when the car had just over 100,000 miles on it. I am never able to fill up my gas tank because of it. , and if I need to go up or down a steep hill (and there are steep hills and driveways all over the area I live in), the fuel leaks into the car and the fumes are very strong.

2006, chrysler, 300c starboard fuel pump leaking from the plastic housing. I changed the o-ring and it still leaks gas. The gas puddles on top of the plastic gas pump housing. Fumes accumulate in the passenger area and outside near the bottom of the car. This happens when the gas tank is above 1/2 full. It doesn't matter if the car is driving, running or the engine off.

This car has been in the shop for the last four years. It is on its third engine and now a roll over valve. Keep in mind when we lost two engines the car was on an incline. Tried to start when we try it acts like it is out of gas. It does not start therefore we have it towed to the dealership for service. Two times we have needed a new engine. Cylinders 3 or 4 just fell off. One minute it runs great the next minute nothing. I thought it had something to do with a fuel pump. This last time it sputtered then shut down in the middle of the road while doing a u-turn. We tried once to turn it over and again it acted as if it were out of gas, however it was full, approximately 5 miles prior. We did not continue to try to start it and had it towed. The car sat over night. The service guy said it started right up in the morning. (monday morning) this afternoon, tuesday they called with the diagnoses of a roll over valve. I do believe this is the reason we lost two engines. Is this a lemon or is this nagging valve that is a very big problem for many going to be a recall as the next problem will be gas leaking everywhere or venting to the air or both. Do not want to pull out into traffic for the car to fail so my family could answers yes to all three above questions "that would be suicide" ,and will not spend $ 1700.00 for another good gas tank when the actual part that cost $0.50 could be located outside the gas tank.

This was the first of several incidences. After fueling, the engine began rough idling. I thought I had just gotten water in my tank. After several minutes the engine seemed to smooth out and I left the gas station and entered a busy intersection. As I entered the intersection, I pressed down on the accelerator and the engine stalled. There were cars all around me as I tried to restart the engine. After several tries, it started and I pulled to the side of the road. The engine ran roughly for several more minutes and once again smoothed out. The stalling can also happen during right turns, but always happens after refueling. My dealer said the problem was the valve on top of the gas tank. When filling the tank, fuel leaks over into the cannister which then floods out the engine. Because the valve and the tank are one unit, the entire tank must be replaced. Since a repair is so expensive, I now do not fill my tank above the 3/4 level.
