“My vehicle had problems just after the 1 year mark. In october 2018 filled the gas tank and began to pull away from the pump, at this time the car was in drive but down-shifted into what felt like neutral. An error code ran across the dash saying push p to park, select desired gear . I put it in park and turned it off then on again. This happened twice but it still did it. I parked the car, turned it off and had it towed- dealer said it was fine, and wasn't throwing any codes and let me drive away. …”

“Shortly after I purchased a new vehicle I noticed a strong fuel smell outside and inside my car and when the air was on the smell was coming through the air vents. I brought it in the dealership and they smelled the gas outside the car. They pulled up my backseats and there was a puddle of gas that leaked from the fuel pump. They replaced the fuel pump and a few days after getting my car back when I filled up my tank again the same thing happened and this time it was leaking gas from the bottom of my car. …”

“Recently I've been having some issues with my vehicle with it turning on and off when I first go to start it up. Now I am having a bigger issue because the car decided to turn off on me multiple times while driving. Luckily I am fully aware of what is happening to me while driving. I've taken it to Dodge and they seem to not car or even try to figure out what is wrong because I can not reenact the problem, even though I have video of it not starting up in the beginning. Simply because there are no codes that come up, which of course makes it easier on them to just push the customer away. …”
