Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2011 Dodge Charger

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?.

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 NHTSA. 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.

Noticed gas smell immediately after filling gas tank completely up. A couple days later I had a very strong gas smell inside vehicle and while driving. Started noticing that there was a moderate size puddle under vehicle where the rear seat is. I've seen many reports of this happening and it disturbs me that there hasn't been a recall.

Purchased a 2011 Dodge Charger 2 months ago for my teenage son. When filling up gas tank more than 3/4 full gas leaks while car in park from area about 1. 5 feet in front of rear passenger wheel. Cabin smells of gas odor. Called dealer that I purchased car from. . . No help. Tons of complaints online regarding this problem. Extremely concerned for son to drive Dodge. Please stand behind your cars. Let's recall this and keep people safe before a life is lost. One life is too many.

For several months when filling gas tank up I would smell a strong gas odor in the cabin of the car. After the gas level would start to go down the oder would go away. Well, the last few days the odor got really strong and it didn't matter how much gas was in the tank, it made me and my family really nauseous, and after a few days of this the check engine light came on and the car started sputtering like it wanted to staul out. Well finally after about a week of this the odor got so strong that it made me very fatigued and sick, you can smell the gas in my clothes and my eyes started to burn. My cars engine is clumping like the engine is about to go out so I parked it at home and shut it off. I'll have to have it towed to dealership to have it looked at. I'm sure it's gonna be just like everyone else's car with the tube leading from gas tank refule door to tank. How this hasn't been recalled is beyond me because it's affecting thousands of vehicles.

2 weeks ago I purchased this vehicle from a used car lot. This was the first time filling the fuel tank all the way. Once I left the gas station I started smelling gas fumes. Once the car was parked I noticed it leaking gas under the passenger side in front of the back wheel. 3 days later noticed it went from having a full tank to missing an 1/8 of a tank. While it was sitting at work it continuously dripped fuel until I had a flatbed pick it up to take it back to the lot. Pulled the back seat and the cover for the fuel pump and there was standing gas around the fuel pump. Very bad design to have the fuel pump at an angle for it to leak that bad if a seal goes bad.

Strong fuel odor noticed after filling up fuel tank. Visible fuel leak notice under right passenger side of car while car parked. Vehicle was taken to independent repair shop. Leak thought to be caused by problem with o-ring on passenger side fuel transfer pump. O-ring replace. Seemed to resolve problem until next fill up. Then leak returned. Seal checked, and another new o-ring installed. Leak continued. Upon closer inspection after vehicle is turned off the honey comb surface of the fuel transfer pump seems to be filling with gas after vehicle is shut off. Mechanic contacted Dodge dealer and was informed that it is a known problem and that a recall has been issued on the hemi models for a similar problem. However no recall in place for the 6 cylinder model. Fuel transfer pump replacement recommended. Not covered by any warrant. As this fuel leak occurs directly under the rear passenger seat and fuel seams to puddle in this area causing fuel vapor to enter passenger compartment this seems to be a legitimate safety hazard and should be addressed immediately by Dodge.

When filling tank up with gas full. Fumes from gas can be smelled inside car. The engine light came on and got a diagnostic reporting evap leak. I took it to the Dodge dealership and was quoted that gas tank sealed will need replace with fuel pump.

I noticed a strong gas smell in and around the car several weeks ago after filling up but I did not overfill or spill gas anywhere. After having a mechanic diagnose the issue he found that the fuel pump under the rear seat on the right side was leaking and had fuel pooling up at the top. As first step he replaced the o-ring seal on the fuel up. After replacing the seal there was no leak initially but it occurred again after the next fill up. So it seems the leak only occurs when the gas tank is full. Since the seal was already replaced but the leak is still there I took it to the Dodge dealer who will have to diagnose it further but they told me that it is most likely the gas tank that is leaking and they have seen many problems like this already and I am not the first one. They also told me that Dodge has updated the fuel tank recently so obviously there is a flaw with the old design which is probably why I am having problems. Not only is this a costly repair which is unfair to consumers but it poses danger since fuel is leaking under the seat and could potentially ignite and set the whole car on fire.
