Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We had one of our 2013 Dodge charger ppv fail to crank. After determining that engine was not getting fuel, we removed fuel pumps. We found drivers side fuel pump electrical connector had gotten so hot that it melted top pump cover and created a fuel leak. This condition happened inside fuel tank which seems like it could have caused a fuel tank fire. We replace both fuel pumps with new cover. We have 7 of these vehicles but this is the only incident that we are aware of so far. I do have old part and pictures.”
NHTSA complaint #11171793, filed 2019-01, 92,756 miles“Since the vehicle was purchased on february 2013, we noticed that the fuel indicator would never show a full tank of gas. It would stop at 3/4. However, when you turn off the engine, especially around a 1/2 of a tank, the gauge would register 1/4 tank. On 4/29/2013, my spouse noticed the check engine light and we decided to take the car to the dealer. The onboard computer showed 68 miles to empty and we needed to travel 30 miles. As soon as we entered the freeway, the car stalled and would not start. It had to be towed to the dealer. Dealer replaced the sending or (ascending) unit. …”
NHTSA complaint #10510413, filed 2013-05, 1,273 miles“At only 68,000 miles, my check engine light came on with code P0456 , which indicates that my Evaporative Emission System has a leak. These leaks lead to increased emissions and fuel loss. The solution is to replace the Emission System Integrity Monitor (ESIM). The life expectancy of this part is 150,000 miles. It should not leak at less than half its life expectancy. I contacted the local dealership and they reported that there isn't a recall on this part yet.”
