What owners say
My 2015 Dodge Charger is in the shop because of the “Fuel pump and pigtail to the the fuel pump, burnt off the exhaust ” per the mechanics exact words. The mechanic told me my car has the possibility to catch fire/explode and can pose great harm to me and anyone in the car. I was also informed this problem was a manufacturing issue and there was nothing I could have done to cause it or prevent it. This problem is extremely reminiscent of the R07 recall in 2015 Dodge Chargers, yet my 2015 Dodge Charger Vin does not show this recall for my car specifically. I believe this is a matter of safety and should be explained to all 2015 Dodge Chargers.
The secondary fuel pump will leak gas onto the rear passenger side wheel well. I've found others with the same issue with dodge chargers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge charger. The contact stated that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the fuel pump and fuel pump relay was replaced once at coggin collision at the avenues dealer, (10845 phillips hwy, jacksonville, fl 32256) however the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired and was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
The connector to the fuel pump overheats causing the plastic housing to melt its way into the fuel tank. Fuel leaks under the rear seat and the fumes fill the car. I purchased a new fuel pump assembly and it came with a wiring harness and connector. There was overheating mentioned with the installation instructions, so this is not a new problem. How can gas under the rear seat not be a major concern?
While inside the vehicle, occupants smell a very strong odor of gasoline. Checked fuel pumps under back seat and there was a puddle of fuel on top of the driver side fuel pump. Upon further inspection found the fuel to be coming out of the electrical connector for the driver side fuel pump. All seals were still good. The connectors were burnt out and the plastic was melted. This has happened on several vehicles in our fleet. (approx 20). The smell is consistent once the connector is melted.
