Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
Fuel leak from passenger side fuel pump. After fueling vehicle. And fuel smell in vehicle. I just hope no one smokes next to my car. From the research I have done this is a on going problem. Dodge needs to fix this problem for good.
No matter where we are, whether stationary, or in motion, the vehicle has an overwhelming smell of gasoline after we have fueled up the car. Today, we noticed gasoline leaking from the rear passenger side undercarriage. A quick search online indicates innumerable similar complaints, with chrysler failing to offer a remedy to this situation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge charger. The contact stated that he was an independent mechanic who serviced vehicles for a police department. The contact stated that the customer informed him that after refueling the vehicle, there was a fuel odor. The contact diagnosed that two fuel pump electrical pins had burnt, allowing fuel to leak from them, and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,510.
Fuel smell enters the cabin causing light headed ness where operator or occupants almost pass out. Massive headache, burning eyes and sudden onset vomiting due to exposure to raw fuel odors. Has been to dealership 3 times for the issue and they deny it. Currently there a 4th time for same issue. I feel this is a major safety issue and without addressing will put the public at risk. This is a police car.
Vehicle has strong odor of gasoline in car. Source of gasoline smell is coming from rear seat drivers side, which is nearest to the fuel filler pipe. This may cause fire and or explosion causing death and property damage. And or other health issues.
