“Car shut off in the middle of highway, stalling, I was almost hit from behind. Now it won't even start. Every issue is related to the fuel issue recall. But my because my VIN isn't included, I have to deal with this. You guys aren't perfect and missed adding my car to the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11311809, filed 2020-02, 95,460 miles“After putting gas in my car gas tank the entire interior of the vehical will smell like gas fumes. When I park the car in my garage the smell is so strong my entire garage will smell like gas. This has occurred ever since I purchased the vehicle in june of 2018.”
NHTSA complaint #11181986, filed 2019-02, 105,000 miles“Every time I fill my car with gas I get a gas smell inside my car and garage for the next few day. I call about a recall for my car and was told that my car was too old to be serviced at the dealership where I bought it.”
NHTSA complaint #11405386, filed 2021-03, 78,000 miles“I own a 2006 Chrysler 300c and recently when I fill it with gas and drive away from the gas station it shuts of and I have problems keeping it running. I'm afraid to drive the car now because it can stop on me in the middle of a busy intersection and that could be very dangerous, in fact... Life threatening. I should not have to be afraid of driving my own car. That's ridiculous!”
