Example complaints

“Noticed gas smell immediately after filling gas tank completely up. A couple days later I had a very strong gas smell inside vehicle and while driving. Started noticing that there was a moderate size puddle under vehicle where the rear seat is. I've seen many reports of this happening and it disturbs me that there hasn't been a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11181471, filed 2019-02, 110,000 miles“Malfunction indicator light has come on twice in past month. First time a vacuum cannister was replaced. The 2nd time I told the dealer that I also smelled gas. I was told the the right fuel pump is cracked and a replacement will cost over $900. My car has only 35,000 miles on it. After seeing all of the other complaints about this, why hasn't a recall been issued?”
NHTSA complaint #11114751, filed 2018-07, 35,000 miles“When my tank is full to around half full it leaks gas and there is a very strong smell on the back passenger side outside of the car. Inside of the car is intolerable. You have to drive with the windows down. I've read this is a common and very dangerous Charger problem but yet there is no recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11320133, filed 2020-04, 150,000 miles“My car started smelling like gas all the time. When I got back from the store I noticed the gas was leaking from the passenger side back door. There was a gas puddle and the inside of the car smelled like a lot of gas. My brother lifted the back seat and there was a lot of gas leaking from the fuel tank.”
NHTSA complaint #11103616, filed 2018-06, 95,000 miles“Strong fuel order when fill gas tank. I looked online it looks like a common issue. This is extremely dangerous someone's going to get killed if it hasn't happened already. The gas leaks out at the top of the fuel sending unit located under rear seat on the passengers side. When I took the seat off there was a puddle of fuel. Again this is extremely dangerous and seems to be a very common issue after reading online.”
