Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Dodge Charger

The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover and allow fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection. The attached picture is the burn on the inside the of tank. Dodge is aware of this enough that when they sell a new pump to replace they supply a new wiring harness which we think moves the ground. In additon on this car, which we will call 261, the filter on the passenger side was examined. A sensor connection in the side of the filter shows signs of heat. This is the sixth car this fuel pump pin hole melt has occured on, from 2012 to 2016 models.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger. While parked, the vehicle leaked fuel in the rear passenger wheel weld, near the exhaust pipe and the battery line. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to be repaired. The o-ring around the fuel tank was replaced, but the issue recurred. The vehicle smelled of fuel and dripped gasoline into the cabin of the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 92,000.

Last year 2013,right around 35000 miles in my 2011 Dodge Charger,I took it in to my dealership because the engine light came on,their response was that it had something to do with the fuel but they could not tell me exactly what the problem was because the analysis would not specify it,and we also told them that we could smell gas,they said that it could be the gas cap but that was it. We found out it was only when we filled the tank so I was putting only 20 dllrs cause we did not want the smell in the car. On April 2014 we went to phoenix which is a 3 hour drive and when we were about to come back my brother-in-law noticed something was leaking from under the car,we found out it was gas coming from the tank,we risked it and took the road back to the house. The next day I went to the dealer again and told them about what happened and their response was that the warranty had already expired and if I wanted it fixed I would have to pay for whatever costs it would take to do so, I said that I had taken it before I ran out on the warranty,again they said they could not do anything about it. While searching in the internet I saw some articles describing the same situation that I have,faulty gas hoses,called the dealer again and again the same response,that if I wanted to be safe I would have to fix it myself.
