Consumer Description

OCCASIONAL FUEL SMELL FROM CAR FOR MANY MONTHS. AFTER FILLING AND PARKING CAR WITH REAR END ON UP HILL INCLINE NOTICED GAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER CAR FROM TOP OF GAS TANK. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID ALL RECALLS WERE PERFORMED. THEY DROPPED TANK AND INFORMED ME THE PLASTIC TANK WAS SPLITTING AT THE SEAM ON TOP. NOT A DODGE PROBLEM . MY COST TO REPLACE $900.00. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT SINCE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY SEVERAL OUTSIDE MECHANICS THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED QUITE A FEW OF THESE CHRYSLER FUEL TANKS. THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE IS GREAT FOR SOME ONE PASSING BY AND FLIPPING A CIGARETTE. *JB
