“While replacing the fuel tank for a crack (of unknown origin) examined the fuel pump. On the side of the pump, inside the tank, a brown heating mark was found in the roof of the pump, where the black and yellow wires pass through the body. This in the same location of where at least 6 other vehicles had burn through of the roof, allowing fuel to escape under the back seat.”
NHTSA complaint #11173598, filed 2019-02, 150,000 miles“While inspecting cars, discovered how hot the top of the fuel pump was, unit 252. On inspection of the wiring connection, found scorching in the connector. On 6 other cars this has resulted in a pin hole melt through in the top of the fuel pump allowing gas to escape under the back seat. This is the ninth such vehicle in 18 months, with us.”
NHTSA complaint #11114949, filed 2018-07, 80,602 miles“The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to begin melting a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover which would have allowed fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection. This was discovered when gas was smelled in the unit, we will call 255, and fuel was found on top of the unit under the passenger side back seat. We think this fuel leak was caused by a o-ring leak where a fuel line connects to the top of this filter loaded device/sensor. …”

NHTSA complaint #11190960, filed 2019-03, 80,000 miles“The auxiliary fuel pump module located under rear seat will leak fuel into the cab, causing a strong smell of gasoline after filling up. Gas will actively leak out from pressurization and form a puddle of gas that sits on top of plastic module. This will happen when the vehicle is filled up with gas and leaks out whether vehicle is running or not”
