NHTSA Complaint #11164492 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECENTLY HAD A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY FUEL EFFICIENCY DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE AS GOOD AS NORMAL. I NOTICED ON CHRISTMAS EVE 12/24/18 THAT I HAD A VISIBLE FUEL TRAIL ON THE OUTSIDE GROUND, NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR AS IT WAS PARKED. I HAVE SINCE NOT DRIVEN MY VEHICLE OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE ISSUE WOULD RESULT IN SOMETHING MUCH WORSE. I HAVE A CHILD AND WILL NOT PUT HIM OR MYSELF IN DANGER. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE. SINCE MY CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE, AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, IT'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT I WOULD BE DEALING WITH A FUEL LEAK FROM A 2011 VEHICLE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPLAINED THEY'VE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2011 DODGE CHARGER SE OR SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL. I'M CONCERNED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS FUEL LEAK PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MENTION OF AN ACTUAL RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS. I KNOW THIS WILL RESULT IN A PRICEY REPAIR FROM THE DEALER, BUT, I WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.
