“My 4 year old Chrysler started giving off a very strong smell of fresh gasoline each time I filled up the tank. The fumes were so strong I had the car on a lift looking for leaks in the rear of the car. There was no visible leaking of gasoline. The smell was also super strong out side of the rear and sides of the car to the point of fear of someone walking by and dropping a cigar and blowing up from the fumes. The smell was there while sitting and moving. …”

NHTSA complaint #11571171, filed 2024-02“Took my car to the dealer to have the fuel pump replaced. Car was repaired and picked up only to have it returned for a fuel leak complaint. Dealership said there was no leak nor evidence of a leak, however, the car is leaking fuel. After my experience I searched for any information on this topic and found others that have had a similar issue with the repair/complaint. This has not been resolved after a call to the dealership owner.”
