Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Dodge Dart

In motion - on I-75 expressway, entrance ramp merge. Could have been life threatening or fatal to stall while merging onto extremely busy expressway. When driving the vehicle it will stall at different times, no warning, no warning lights, etc. . Very dangerous. Granddaughter was entering the expressway and just as she was merging the car stalled. She was still rolling and swerved off the expressway onto the emergency strip and then grassy area. She barely avoided a semi sideswipe/collision. Before taking car to dealership, was told over the phone it could be caused by a drop in oil pressure. That is extremely dangerous. They wanted to just do an oil change to see if that corrected the problem, but I insisted the check fuel propulsion, because it seemed like fuel pump/injectors or fuel line was causing problem. Come to find out it has a faulty throttle body. We just bought this car in April 2018 and it only has about 40,000 miles on it. With all the complaints about this same type of issue, should the throttle body be checked for problems and possible recall??? I spent 3 hours on the side of this expressway waiting for a tow because the car was not driveable.

At 40,000 miles after 3 yrs 5 months the car had a strong fuel odor. I realized the gas is leaking from the top of the fuel pump. It turned out the plastic house of the fuel pump was broken at the connector and the gas was leaking while the system was under pressure. Which means whenever the car is running and the ignition is on, the fuel is leaking. The system pressure is 58 psi (+- 5 psi) so you can lose a lots of fuel in a short period of time. On the attached picture the 2 straight line is not a crack. It is the fuel coming out with a high pressure. Defective part number: 68084383ad (Dodge) replacement part number: 68166589ac (Dodge) my car has never had any accident nor a fender bender. It is immaculate. Dodge should evaluate the frequency of this problem and announce a recall. I consider this as a very serious safety and fire hazard.
