WHILE INSPECTING THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTION, DISCOVERED A BURN PATTERN IN THE WIRING, LIKE WHAT HAS OCCURED ON 7 OTHER CARS, THIS BEING UNIT 247, BUT NOT MELTED THROUGH ENOUGH YET TO ALLOW GAS TO ESCAPE. *TT
WHEN EVER I GET GAS WITH THE CAP LESS FUEL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON
RADIO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT. THEN I DROVE 3 MORE MILES TO A LOCAL HARRIS TEETER. I WAS IN THERE ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CAME OUT AND LOADING MY 2 BAGS AND PROCEEDED TO CRANK UP MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. JUST A QUICK CLICK BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. PLS NOTE THAT THIS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER IT WAS SHOWN ON THE NEWS THAT DODGE WERE HAVING RECALLS ON ALTERNATORS AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS.IN PARTICULAR, 2011-2016 DODGE CHARGERS WITH 5.7L & 3.6L. I HAVE A 5.7L ENGINE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CARD YET IN THE MAIL REGARDING THESE RECALLS, BUT I DID GO TO THE WEBSITE AND IT STATED THAT IT WOULD AUGUST 21ST BEFORE THEY MAIL THEM OUT. I ALSO WENT AHEAD AND PUT MY VIN# ON THE WEBSITE & NO RECALLS APPEARED. BUT THE WEBSITE STATED THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T SHOW UP LATER. CAN I STILL GO TO A LOCAL DODGE CENTER AND REPORT THIS ISSUE AND GET THEM TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE BASED ON THE TELEVISED RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND THAT MY CAR FALLS INTO THE DESCRIPTIONS? I WAITED AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET MY CHARGER TOWED BACK TO MY HOME VIA MY CAR INSURANCE WITH ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. PLS NOTE THAT THIS IS THE 3RD RECALL ON THIS CAR.
CAR PURCHASED IN JULY 2016 AT 32000 MILES. AS OF 12/19, JUST HIT 38000. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING, NOTICED AN EXTREMELY HEAVY SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CABIN. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, OTHER 2011 CHARGERS, BOTH POLICE AND CIVILIAN MODELS, AS WELL AS PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, BOTH LEAK GAS FROM THE SAME AREA, PASSENGER SIDE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. CURRENT "FIX" IS TO NOT FILL PAST 3/4 TANK, OTHERWISE, THE PUMP WILL LEAK GAS HEAVILY. LEAK WILL NOT OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. LEAK WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE POSITION, AND WILL BE HEAVY IF FILLED AFTER 7/8 TANK. PUDDLE SIZE WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO NOTICE, AND, POSES A SERIOUS FIRE RISK IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE SMOKING NEXT TO THE VEHICLE.
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.
