“Takata recall my Dodge is fairly new. A 2010 and the gas gauge has completely stopped reading correctly. It'll die when it reads there's a quarter of a tank left or even when it says there is half a tank left. I've been in multiple situations when the car has died and I read a lot of forums with people the same make model having this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11193539, filed 2019-04, 113,467 miles“Dodge dealership told us over 600 fuel pumps for the 2010 Charger were back ordered and that we would have to wait to get a replacement part for mine. 600 back ordered fuel pumps sounds like a common enough issue that may potentially need to be a recall. My 2010 Charger will not start unless this fuel pump is replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10595911, filed 2014-06, 40,000 miles“An overwhelming smell of gas starting around 9/6/14. I took my car to the dealership for the standard oil change and advised that I smelled gas. They indicated that when changing the oil they would perform a preliminary check. At that time they didn't notice any visible leaks and scheduled me an appointment to bring the car back in on 9/15/14 if the car still smelled of gas and did not go away. …”
NHTSA complaint #10640628, filed 2014-10, 59,362 miles“My car had a check engine light so I went to an official Dodge dealer to fix. They claimed it was a faulty valve in my fuel system and charged me $470 to fix. Since fixed, I filled up my gas tank and now whenever I enter my car, it smells of raw fuel. After driving for about 10 minutes, the smell goes away, but I have found many different people are complaining about it. I took it back to the dealer and they could not determine the reason it was smelling like gasoline..I did not track fuel into my car and was not storing fuel in my trunk. …”
NHTSA complaint #10937517, filed 2016-12, 72,000 miles“This december 2011, I have owned the car for two years. It has stalled in traffic three times while turning to the left and once while turning to the right. It felt like the vehicle had run out of gasoline, however there was plenty of gasoline. I have avoided three collisions, the last two because I was able to restart the vehicle quickly, due to experience. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer ( redlands Dodge california) however they say the computer has no record and of the problem and they can't recreate the problem. …”
