2011 Dodge Charger fuel system problems

Filed Jan 21, 2023 · Fuel system · FL

I just bought the car, a 2011 Charger R/T AWD, and drove it home approx.400 km. I filled the fueltank full when coming home, and left the car still for 2 days now. I have been smelling a strong gas odor on the especially when the tank is full. Today while parked in my driveway I noticed a puddle of gas under the car too. The puddle was under the right rear seat. I haven't been able to take a look, as it is minus 20 degree here now and for the next week. Even if I noticed this just reasontly, this problem has been a while Hopefully this will be a matter the dealership can handle, as I can tell it is a worldwide issue I hope that the car being in Norway doesn't make it an issue, as it is just as dangerous problem here. Hopefully this can be dealth with befora any accidents happen.

Very strong gasoline odor after filling tank. Noticed strong odor in our garage and found a large puddle of gas under car directly beneath the rear passenger side seat. Upon investigation discovered there is a secondary fuel pump at that location that is prone to cracking/leaking. The exhaust system is also located on the right side of the vehicle, which causes even greater concern for possibility of fire. I have seen many other complaints of the same nature and would like a logical explanation as to why there has been no recall for this extreme safety issue. Is it because no one had been killed by it--yet?

Fuel tank right side under rear passenger seat has a leak. Every time the vehicle is filled with gasoline, the fuel leak starts and goes away after half the tank is used. It's located right at the top of the fuel pump. The fumes of the gas can be smelled inside the cab because its directly located under the seat. This is an occurring problem with this year of chargers and is dangerous hazard.

When my tank is full to around half full it leaks gas and there is a very strong smell on the back passenger side outside of the car. Inside of the car is intolerable. You have to drive with the windows down. I've read this is a common and very dangerous charger problem but yet there is no recall.

For two years now, fuel leaks from my tank after every fill up. When stationary it creates a gas puddle. There is a strong fuel smell in my garage when tank is more than half full. Many other 2011 chargers are having this issue as well. A mechanic online has stated it is due to a cracked auxiliary fuel pump module that should not be this damaged under normal use.

Fuel pump (top) under the rear passenger seat develops leaks and spills fuel into and explosive fumes into the passenger area of the car. In researching the problem on google I'm finding this is a very common problem with the 2011 dodge charger. If this is such a widespread and dangerous problem I cannot for the life of me understand why the federal safety agency has not issued a recall? Problem occurs after a fill up. Discoloration on the pump shows the extent/volume of gasoline pouring out into the interior floor pan.

I smelled the strong odor of gasoline inside my charger. I brought it to the dealership who advised that the vehicle was leaking gas from around the o ring at the fuel pump which is located under the rear passenger seat. The mechanic tightened the cover to the fuel pump and returned the vehicle. About a month later the vehicle was now visibly leaking gas fonto the ground and the fuel smell inside the vehicle was intolerable. I returned to the dealer and left it with them for a day in which time they replaced the ring, tested it and found no further leakage and returned the vehicle to me. By the next morning the vehicle was leaking again, this time much worse. I had to park it away from the house for fear that it might cause an explosion when if left in the hot garage with the fumes filling up the garage. I see that there have been 71 complaints filed with the federal safety agency. This is truly a dangerous defect and should be recalled before someone gets killed. I just had my daughter and grand kids in the car with some of the grand kids sitting over the fuel pump located under the seat. Who in there right mind would put fuel pumps under the rear seat. The problem seems to occur when the vehicle's fuel tank is full. When I moved it away from the house it left a trail of gasoline to where I parked it and by the next morning there was a huge spot on the ground and the car was full of fumes. This is a safety hazard if there every was one.
