Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

Fuel system
Filed May 18, 2020

THE FUEL TANK LEAKS AT THE FILL NECK WHEN YOU FILL CAR PAST 3/4 FULL. IT LEAKS BOTH WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED. THE FUEL LEAKS DOWN THE FRAME AND EXHAUST PIPE TO THE GROUND. IN 2001-2002 DODGE HIRE A DIFFERENT (CHEAPER) COMPANY TO MAKE THEIR FUEL TANKS. AS A RESULT THEY LEAK AT TANK WHERE FILLER NECK ATTACHES. DODGE'S CORRECTION WAS TO PUT A HATCH FOR FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT ON THE R/T MODELS BUT NOT ON THE GTS MODELS. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE (ON EVERY CAR FORUM I FOUND) WITHOUT A RECALL. I WISH THIS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE A FIRE HAPPENS. *TR
