My car was leaking gas from the fuel pump and I guess my car from the backseat almost caught fire cause I seen smoke coming from the back seat behind the driver. I went to two Dodge dealerships to let them know about this incident that reason why my fuel pump caught on fire because Dodge put the negative and the positive wire close to each other on the fuel pump, which could cause a fire or your car to explode. I let Dodge know about this incident and let them know that my car almost caught on fire smoke came out and I could’ve died. They totally brushed me off and brushed off my incident. I told him hey this is a recall that you guys need to take serious before someone really gets hurt from Now. I am carless with no vehicle to drive. No way to pick up my daughter from school. I need you guys help ASAP so I could be able to father my child and be able to go to work to provide for my child. Thank you.

Fuel pump failure by model year
What owners say
My air bag light is on and im having problems with high idle after replacing map sensors, and replacing the Throttle Body, and replacing the fuel pump my car is running horrible
Passenger side fuel pump faulty, leakes gas into the car cabin making it smell like fuel after filling up the car until its down to about 3/4 of a tank.
Car started to have issues with hesitation and startup. The problem is intermittenly. I seen online that a lot of people are having siminar issues but cant pinpoint the problem. I seen fuel pump problems, iacv, misfiring etc. The car throws no check engine lights but when you plug the car into a obd 2 scanner it shows the long term fuel trim very high at 16.4 in idle.
The car turns off while driving. I changed the fuel pump, the spark plugs, got some new relays I did everything and not even a dealer knows why it's doing that.
