Gas tank is leaking. No damage has been done to vehicle no off road only driven on highways. The car developed a gas smell no visual leak until 2 days later I put $40 in gas and I get home and when I come back out there a big stain in the driveway strong gas smell I look under the vehicle I see the gas tank has visual wet marks. And I can literally watch gas just roll down the tank and drip from where the filler hose meets the gas tank, I wipe the tank with a rag where the filler hose meets the body of the tank I see it just continue to pour gas out. There is no breaks in any hoses no visual crack I notice, may be a seal I cant tell.

While driving at aprox 25 MPH on a slight bend in the road and slightly accelerating, I realized my engine had died when it stopped accelerating. Electrical was still working, but the engine had shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road, turn on my hazards, and put the vehicle in park. I waited about 20 seconds, then attempted to turn the engine back on. The engine started with no trouble and with no further incidence.
Sitting or driving AC not cooling sitting or driving gas level drastically dropping to zero then spike mte, taken to dealership multiple times and not duplicated. Drove this morning and mte spiked and zeroed out again while driving. Transmission shifting hard and grinding noises overall electrical issues based on dealership explanation and issues could not be duplicated.

During use of the vehicle, whether stationary or in motion, the "gas cap light" will come on followed by "check engine light". When this happens the code p0456 will cause the car to act indifferent, it is still drivable, but can cause other components to show a false reading. This issue has happened 4 times in the past 2 months, and every time we go to the dealership the check engine light will disappear. We have checked the gas cap, and this vehicle is under 17,000 miles. This seems to be a common issue with dodge, jeep, and chrysler vehicles, and this should be handled by the manufacturer. Treat this known issue as a recall, and improve upon your evaporative emission system.
