general problems of the 2016 Dodge Charger

Smelled fuel leaking inside car towards rear seat. Electrical connector to fuel pump had fuel surrounding it (located under back seat, on left side of car). Upon disconnecting connector, I notice two right most pins of connector (on pump) had a burn mark which cause a hole and allowed fuel to leak out.

The car has had over 5 batteries in the last year and 3 in the last 2 months. Something is constantly draining the battery in my car and making them go very bad. Also the car will be dead if I park it too long because of the electrical issue and it’s been a huge problem for me.

Fuel pump is inoperable due to cheap make(plastic). Leaks out at the top due to the lid and gas comes out thru there right underneath of where my children sit.

Headlights go out when replacing. Fuel smell in cab. Engine ticking front wheels knocking on bumps inspection done by police could cause major wreck all of the above.

Gas smells in the back seat of my car. . . . Where the pumps are underneath the seat. Gets older when fas tank is full.

Strong smell of raw gas when fuel tank is 1/2 full(+). The smell is inside and outside the vehicle (mostly on driver's side near back door & wheel well) whether vehicle is running or not. The smell is just as strong outside as inside. When fuel level falls below 1/2 tank, the gas smell reduces. Removed rear seat, drivers side fuel tank cover have a crack in it. A puddle of gas was sitting on top of the fuel pump & a brown burn mark near the electrical plug. Google search: many complaints of fuel pump leakage. The fuel pump still works, it pumps/primes when the key is switched to the acc position & the car cranks when pushed to turn on. The issue is fuel is leaking from the pump upward when tank is at or above 1/2 full. Tried to order new pump from local dealership (northpoint Chrysler Dodge) who said it calls for a different part#, is out of stock with no expected date of availability, & is not available anywhere within their network. September 8th, went online to a site that provides oem parts (world parts direct). They said the part was not available until September 23rd. Since they provided an availability date, I ordered the part & waited. The delivery arrived on the 29th. What arrived have a totally different part# with an electrical connector that must replace the factory connector. In order to install, the factory harness must be cut, spliced, soldered, & heat shrink a rubber sleeve to protect the soldered wires. I questioned the different part#, was told that is what their supplier sent, it is oem, & should work. The new connector came with a diagram showing to switch the 2nd & 3rd pin from the factory connector into the new connector. The factory (+) & (-) pins are side-by-side, the new connector separates them. Fuel pump wiring is faulty, dangerous. Raw gas encountering electrical connectors is unsafe, can be explosive or deadly. Not inspected/repaired by dealer or mfg, no cel, avail for inspection if needed. Let's not wait for someone to die for recall.

My 2016 Charger has the same problem described in emissions recall ub4, revision 5. When filling tank with gas, there is a very strong odor of gas. After about three days of driving, it dissipates. Revision 5 by added 2015 and 2016 Dodge Chargers, but I have been told that my vehicle is not included in that recall. It most certainly is a safety issue. Again, it has the exact problem as described in that recall. The gas smell is so strong, I cannot park it in the garage. I'm not sure if NHTSA issued the revision 5, or fiat Chrysler issued it.

I’ve been smelling fuel inside the car after filling up and around the rear driver side tire and found fuel leaking in the front of that driver side rear tire. I removed the back seats to find fuel sitting on top of the fuel level valve. I dried up everything and unplugged the fuel pump electrical connector to find fuel leaking from the plug itself. I’ve been having issues with me passing out after filling up my car and after me finding this it makes me believe this is the issue to my health problems.

Car has strong smell of gas inside. Seeing by the other reports here that there is a regular problem with the fuel pump causing this issue. Is a safety hazard for obvious reasons. Drive shaft failed last year at less than 60,000 miles, but luckily had it replaced under dealership warranty. Others have not been so lucky, as I can see in these reports. Like tons of other reports here, door panels are also warping and disconnecting from the inside of the car. A completely cheap and poor design, and am shocked to see that nearly every problem I've experienced with this car is commonly experienced by other owners of this car. No idea how there haven't been more recalls, it's criminal that owners of this vehicle are left to foot the bill (thousands of $$$) for all of its defects.

One of the pins on the fuel pump & associated harness got hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel pump causing it to leak gas.

Kept smelling gas after filling up and off and on . Did a fill up and gas was so strong had to call a tow truck. Dealership said fuel pump assembly connector had high resistance causing the top of the fuel pump to melt.

My gas pry just takes off and I can't stop it.

Fuel smell in car and dying after fill up fuel leaking from right rear wheel well on police Charger for town of roland.

While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever I began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when I am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. My car was sent to frisco Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram in frisco, TX a few days after this happened and I was told that they were receiving a code p0430 which meant there are issues with my catalytic converter. I was told that over 800,000 vehicles in the Dodge make had been recalled this year due to this same thing. I was told my car couldn't be repaired at the moment as they were unsure as to what actually needed to be fixed. I am a single mother and I am afraid that my car is going to quit on me any day. I am being told there is an active recall on Dodge vehicles for this but my particular vehicle isn't part of the recall. How is that possible when it's the same thing? in April and July of this year while driving on the freeway, my car began to shake excessively. I pulled over to see if it would stop and it didn't so I slowly made my way over to freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram by ed morse in duncanville, TX where I was told that my ignition coils are failing and eventually all of them will fail as this is common is Dodge vehicles. If this is a known common problem, why are these vehicles still being sold? why hasn't this been fixed? I have spent over $800 in repairs on this car and it's only a 2016. I did not expect to have problems this soon on such a new car.

After filling my Charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while I am driving, I lose the power steering and I am unable restart it right away. It happens every time I fill up, and I have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.

Strong smell of raw fuel after car was delivered on March 4, 2016. There is a leak in the fuel system which has not yet been rectified by the dealership as of March 17, 2016. When the car is running, you can smell fuel (raw gas). It actually was coming in to the cabin via the fresh air vents on the dash. It's worse when the car is parked or at a stop light. I detected what I thought was a loose fuel line but dealership has not yet stated whether that is the problem. They replaced a fuel rail but fuel smell did not go away. This was a serious fire hazard.
