My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the AC is on, the odor is made worse by switching the AC selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because I dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130 but I feel a safety risk such as this should be examined free of charge by the manufacturer before some is poisoned or dies

Vehicle stalled when driving shortly after fueling. Engine started again after cranking for several seconds, but strong smell of gasoline after starting. No further problems with the vehicle until the next refuel. This has been happening repeatedly after refueling ever since the original incident on the date given. This may have been happening periodically over the past 2 years, but before this it was infrequent enough that we really didn't pay any attention to it. We never top off the tank, stopping fueling after the nozzle initially clicks off.

Notice fuel smell in my garage. Took to mechanic and found gas tank strap has punctured fuel tank on passenger side of vehicle. Upon inspection found that gas tank strap is missing foam insulation between tank and strap. This vehicle is not driven in winter so it is very clear that this foam was not installed at factory. I have contacted chrysler to see if they will repair vehicle since it is out of warranty. Looking up on internet there are pages of gas fumes from dodge chargers. This is a safety hazard since gas fumes are highly flammable.

Charger r/t. Moderate to strong odor of raw gasoline when car comes to a stop. Intermittent but occurs more than 90% of the time. Started in oct 2010;still occurring. Usually worse the colder it is outside;after driving several hrs.& making an abrupt stop; & w/ 1/2 to 3/4 tank of gas. But, it has occurred when in the 50s outside;driving 20 ft. From driveway into garage and shutting off the engine, after car has sat for several hours without the engine running; and with a full tank or 1/4 or less of gas. Has occurred a couple of times upon acceleration, but almost always occurs when the car comes to a stop.the one time I smelled it the strongest though was after I backed into a parking space. I had been in another space with the engine off for about 30 minutes. I started the car and backed into a space further down in the lot, shut the engine off, and the odor of raw gas was very strong and seemed to be right underneath the driver's door when I opened it. Passengers in car have also smelled it. Myself and 2 other people have inspected the vehicle under the hood, and underneath while it was on a lift, but could not locate any leaks, broken or cracked hoses, etc. I took it to a dodge dealership on 2/8/11 and they could not find the cause of it either. However, it never occurred on the way to the dealer. It was in the 20s that morning and I had between 1/2 and 3/4 of a tank of gas; normally "ideal" conditions under which it occurs. Problem did not occur until later that morning after leaving the dealership. I advised the dealership service adviser of all of the circumstances under which it occurs, on a typed document which I gave to him. My main concern is that since it is the gasoline fumes that are combustible, that it will eventually cause a fire. Also, there are about a dozen other dodge charger owners who belong to a charger owners' web site, www.chargerforums.com, who have posted the same complaint and neither they nor dealerships have found a cause for it either.
