2016 Dodge Charger Fuel system Problems

“While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever I began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when I am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. …”

“Fuel leaks after fuel tank is filled parked or driving, strong fuel smell while driving, check engine light comes on. Inspected vehicles..(this is the 3rd 2016 Charger in our fleet that has had this concern) found fuel pump cover plate has a hole burnt in it next to and around fuel pump electrical connector. I have included pictures of two fuel pump covers.. Note: vehicles had between 45,000-72,000 miles.”

“After filling my Charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while I am driving, I lose the power steering and I am unable restart it right away. It happens every time I fill up, and I have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.”

“After filling up the gas tank, the vehicle will stall for no apparent reason. It will restart but immediately stall again causing me to restart it again. It will do so 5 to 10 times before running normally again. It doesn't seem to matter at what speed but mostly at slower speeds. I have been caught in lanes on the freeway and it could lead to a very dangerous situation especially here in california. This car has been babied and has less than 25,000 miles on it.”

“The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover and allow fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection. The attached picture is the burn on the inside the of tank. Dodge is aware of this enough that when they sell a new pump to replace they supply a new wiring harness which we think moves the ground. In additon on this car, which we will call 261, the filter on the passenger side was examined. A sensor connection in the side of the filter shows signs of heat. …”
