2015 Dodge Charger Fuel system Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

My 2015 Dodge Charger is in the shop because of the “Fuel pump and pigtail to the the fuel pump, burnt off the exhaust ” per the mechanics exact words. The mechanic told me my car has the possibility to catch fire/explode and can pose great harm to me and anyone in the car. I was also informed this problem was a manufacturing issue and there was nothing I could have done to cause it or prevent it. This problem is extremely reminiscent of the R07 recall in 2015 Dodge Chargers, yet my 2015 Dodge Charger Vin does not show this recall for my car specifically. I believe this is a matter of safety and should be explained to all 2015 Dodge Chargers.

THE CONNECTOR TO THE FUEL PUMP OVERHEATS CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT ITS WAY INTO THE FUEL TANK. FUEL LEAKS UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND THE FUMES FILL THE CAR. I PURCHASED A NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND IT CAME WITH A WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR. THERE WAS OVERHEATING MENTIONED WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, SO THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. HOW CAN GAS UNDER THE REAR SEAT NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN?

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.
