I've had a recurring issue with a fuel smell in my vehicle . Turns out most dodge chargers have defective fuel pumps and lucky us there are 2 at almost 700 dollars together from napa . Why hasn't this issue been recalled? It can cause major damage to the engine if fuel gets in the oil. Major safety concern gas vapors should never be in cabin !!!!

Takata recall my dodge is fairly new. A 2010 and the gas gauge has completely stopped reading correctly. It'll die when it reads there's a quarter of a tank left or even when it says there is half a tank left. I've been in multiple situations when the car has died and I read a lot of forums with people the same make model having this issue.

There needs be a recall for the 2010 dodge charger sxt. While driving home on the interstate, just as I'm merging on to my exit, the car shuts completely down while in motion during traffic. I had no idea that it had completely stalled until I tried to give it gas and turn the steering wheel as I was going into to a curve with cars in front of me and behind. Had to fight like [xxx] to turn the wheel and use the brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. I tried to start the engine with no success. It kept turning over making a "ru rur rur rur rur" sound which was accompanied by the smell of wires burning and a red lightning bolt that appeared on the dash. Tried to start again, it became worse. Had to have the car towed to repair shop to see what the issue is. Have not heard anything yet. Called dealership to see if they could shed some light on the subject, they reluctantly declined to do so in every way possible. The dealership I took it said they could not find the problem and suggested that it is not their problem. Dodge needs to do something asap. This [xxx] is going to get somebody killed if a recall is not issued. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

My car had a check engine light so I went to an official dodge dealer to fix. They claimed it was a faulty valve in my fuel system and charged me $470 to fix. Since fixed, I filled up my gas tank and now whenever I enter my car, it smells of raw fuel. After driving for about 10 minutes, the smell goes away, but I have found many different people are complaining about it. I took it back to the dealer and they could not determine the reason it was smelling like gasoline..I did not track fuel into my car and was not storing fuel in my trunk. The car did not smell like fuel before the initial repair.

I have 2 problems first problem is the gas tank the filler tube on the gas tank is not working right you can not put gas in tank until the gas tank is half full if you try to fill it at 3/4 full it will not go in tank it keeps clicking off the gas hose. Second the wire harness from alternator was attach to the exhaust manifold from factory and the wires burned up the dealer cut the wires and tape them back together and the lights on the whole car blink off an on all the time this is bad I am afraid of a fire the dealer ship will do nothing I have been fighting with them since I brought the car new in 2011 you can not use the car at night because of the light blinking off and on.

An overwhelming smell of gas starting around 9/6/14. I took my car to the dealership for the standard oil change and advised that I smelled gas. They indicated that when changing the oil they would perform a preliminary check. At that time they didn't notice any visible leaks and scheduled me an appointment to bring the car back in on 9/15/14 if the car still smelled of gas and did not go away. The smell eventually went away, but start noticing anytime the car was filled up with gas the smell would return on 9/30/14 filled the car up with gas and by the time I made it home it was pouring gas near the left passenger rear. Further observation showed that there is a leak in the gas line. I have scheduled in appointment to take it back to he dealership with the 1st available appointment 10/8/14. I was advised to not drive as the car can possibly ignite. It is now parked in the garage. It is hot. Not sure if the garage should be opened to give air or if opening the garage will allow sunlight that may could cause fumes to ignite. The garage smells of gas and the fumes are now in my home. Do we know of any issues with the dodge charger and gas line leaks.
