What owners say
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.
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
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 .
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.
