Gas fumes filled the cabin. I am suffering from headaches from smelling in fumes. This is dangerous and health issues. The gas tank is under passage back seat and costs $2,235 to replace primary and transfer pumps. Is this covered by a recall?

There is a hairline crack on top of the Fuel Pump Plastic Housing cause leak on top of the housing. Fuel Vapor in AC present as well as inside and outside the car. This could be a potential fire hazard and I have read many forums in which many other owners of the same make and model of the car has.

Gas smell coming from the tank or a fuel pump when gas is full. Hairline crack in fuel pump/tank causing horrible smell inside car cabin and exterior.
FUEL IS COMING OUT OF THE HAS TANK. IT COMES OUT FROM WHERE THE HAS PUMP IS.
JUST BOUGHT THIS 2012 CHRYSLER 300 AND NOT EVEN HAVING IT 2 WEEKS I FILLED UP MY TANK AND SMELLED A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL. MY HUSBAND LIFTED UP THE BACK SEAT AND FOUND A QUITE LARGE PUDDLE JUST SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ORING BUT WE REPLACED THAT YESTERDAY AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND NOTICED ANOTHER GOOD SIZE PUDDLE ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN.
I PUMPED A TANK OF GAS ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO. I GOT INTO THE CAR IT WAS WAS FILL WITH GAS FUMES. THE SMELL IS STRONG WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING IN PARK. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME GAS SPILLED WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP SO I WENT ON HOME BUT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS I CONTINUED TO SMELL GAS SO I RINSED THE CAR OFF TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP IT DID NOT . I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MY CITY FOR THE TO CHECKOUT THE SMELL OF GAS. PER THE INSPECTION THE WIRES TO THE RIGHT FUEL INJECTION HAD MELTED AND GAS WAS LEAKING AND THE LEFT WIRES TO THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS WERE MELTING ALSO AND IN A FEED DAYS IT WOULD BE LEAKING GAS TOO. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALL, WIRES MELTING IS NOT WARE AND TARE. THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE IT THE WIRES AND FUEL INJECTORS ARE NOT REPLACE, SO THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT WILL CAUSE BODILY HARM AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER. PLEASE EVERYONE IF YOU ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THIS GAS LEAK REPORT THIS TO YOUR CHRYSLER CORPORATION THIS NEED TO BE HANDLED BY AS A RECALL THIS IS A MALFUNCTION THAT ACCORDED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VEHICLE, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CAR OWNERS EXPENSE. DO THE RIGHT THING CHRYSLER RECALL THE LEFT AND RIGHT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IT APPEARS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE LARGE BLIND AREAS LEFT AND RIGHT (SIMILIAR TO HORSE BLINDERS). WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THERE ARE BLIND AREAS THAT THERE COULD BE A PERSON OR CAR PARKED THAT YOU WOULD NOT SEE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. ON CONTACTGING THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT IS THE WAY THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DESIGNED AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD COMPLAINED. IF I HAD TEST DRIVEN THE CAR A NIGHT I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT BECAUE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
