2006, CHRYSLER, 300C STARBOARD FUEL PUMP LEAKING FROM THE PLASTIC HOUSING. I CHANGED THE O-RING AND IT STILL LEAKS GAS. THE GAS PUDDLES ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC GAS PUMP HOUSING. FUMES ACCUMULATE IN THE PASSENGER AREA AND OUTSIDE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS ABOVE 1/2 FULL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS DRIVING, RUNNING OR THE ENGINE OFF.

5 MIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET, PRESSED GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. THEN RESTARTED AS IF NORMAL. WE HAD 2 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY STREET. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN ON THIS SITE, IT STATES NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS DECEASED SO I CAN'T OBTAIN ANY INFO/HISTORY ON THE CAR.

AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL STRONG FUEL SMELL AND ENGINE COMING ON WITH A CODE OF FUEL TANK PRESSURE HAD CHECK TANK IS LEAKING FROM TOP

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL WHAT LOOKS LIKE MAY BE A GASKET UNDER REAR SEAT IN VEHICLE... SMELL IS EVEN STRONGER AFTER FILLING UP, AND WHEN MAKING HARD STOPS. THERE IS NO GASOLINE SEEN LEAKING FROM UNDER CAR AT THIS TIME. CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE HAZARD. HEARD OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS COULD ALSO BE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FIRE CONCERN AS THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG IN GARAGE WITH VEHICLE PARKED, AND COULD BE A PROBLEM WHEN GAS APPLIANCES OR WATER HEATERS COME IN PROXIMITY TO VEHICLE.
