Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Dodge Challenger

Problem: fuel fumes in the cabin of my 2010 Challenger stationary and in motion (city and highway). The fuel tank is located under the rear seat in Dodge Challengers, chargers and the Chrysler 300. Internet searches regarding fuel fumes in the cabin revealed numerous complaints regarding fuel pump o-ring leaks. There are u-tube videos available for the home mechanic. However, it is unreasonable to expect that an owner perform this repair due to the exposure to gasoline and the possibility of fire or explosion. My Challenger is a limited edition mopar10 with meticulous maintenance at the dealership when it was purchased. It had only 60,958 miles when I took it to the dealership on 01/28/21. They had to replace the fuel pump o-rings at a cost of $396. 00 ($96 in parts and $300 in labor). I have never had this problem in any vehicle that I have owned, new or used, since 1978. The exposure to gasoline fumes is a well known health hazard especially in a closed environment such as a vehicle cabin. For the car with only 60k miles with meticulous maintenance being performed by one dealership and a safety issue with many complaints on the internet, warrants an investigation of Dodge and Chrysler repair records on this issue. A $400 repair is 25% parts and 75% labor. I respectfully submit that a recall has be issued. Please note that my Dodge dealer has been exceptional regarding customer care. However, they did not offer to repair this defect free of cost because no recall exists on this issue. My dealership is jim click Dodge in tucson, arizona. The repair invoice number is ddcs759163. You have my permission to use my personal data on this invoice to create a recall. Thank-you, randy sturgeon, retired federal law enforcement agent.

Noticed fluid leaking in front of rear passenger tire. Upon further inspection I found it to be gasoline. Then I looked under the rear seat and found a puddle of gasoline accumulated in the fuel pump area on the right side. The car had been parked so the puddle on the ground and under the seat were very noticeable. This is not safe at all!!!.

We had one of our 2013 Dodge charger ppv fail to crank. After determining that engine was not getting fuel, we removed fuel pumps. We found drivers side fuel pump electrical connector had gotten so hot that it melted top pump cover and created a fuel leak. This condition happened inside fuel tank which seems like it could have caused a fuel tank fire. We replace both fuel pumps with new cover. We have 7 of these vehicles but this is the only incident that we are aware of so far. I do have old part and pictures.

Fuel leak: auxiliary fuel pump leaks when over 14 gallons in tank. Causing fire to road, not vehicle. 62,000mi when leak was identified.

Gasoline leaking around fuel pump under the backseat inside the passenger compartment. Leaking underneath vehicle in front of rear passenger tire. Vehicle has been sitting in driveway overnight. This happens every time I fill the gas tank. The smell/fumes are overwhelming inside the vehicle and there is a pool of gasoline on my driveway. Upon research, this is a very common occurrence with Dodge vehicles with no safety recall. This has been going on for close to a year with no help from dealerships.

In early October 2014 I started smelling gas fumes inside my vehicle. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop. It was determined that my fuel tank had a factory defect where the fuel pump locking tabs were molded into the tank. The leak was around the seam where attached. This is directly under the rear passenger seat on top of the fuel tank where it would have been impossible to have been hit by anything. The tank was leaking fuel on to the exhaust system at the rear of the vehicle. We were very lucky that there was no fire. I approached Dodge on more than 4 occasions to recover the cost of repairs which were $1,736. 05. I have been refused each time. They are aware that the tank is defective as I have sent documentation and pictures to show them. I have asked for the name of the vender who made the tank and have been refused. This is a defect in manufacturing! the tank is available for inspection. I need help to recover my cost for someone's faulty product. I have owned automobiles for 48 years and have never had to replace a fuel tank until now.
