INTERNET SEARCH LEAD TO INVESTIGATION OF FUEL PUMPS UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT. REAR SEAT WAS REMOVED AND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WAS VISIBLY PRESENT DIRECTLY UNDER PASSENGER REAR SEAT.

THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. IT HAS A LEAK, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SMEELING LIKE GAS FOR A MONTH NOW WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THERE WAS A PODDLE OF GAS UNDER THE SEAT WHERE THE NIPPLE ON THE FUEL PUMP BROKE. NOT TO MENTION MY BATTERY IN THE TRUNK , WELL THE WIRES CROSS RIGHT OVER THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR EACH OTHER.

EVERY TIME I REFUEL TO A FULL TANK THE ENGINE WILL SURGE OR COMPLETELY STALL OUT WITHIN A 1/2 MILE. NOW THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AS WELL WHEN I FILL UP TANK. BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I ONLY FILL TO 3/4. DOING THIS SEEMS TO HELP BOTH ISSUES. THANK YOU CHRYSLER FOR NOT COVERING MY MODEL IN THE GAS TANK RECALL FOR FAULTY VENT VALVES. ALL LX CHRYSLERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I ALREADY REPLACED A FUEL PUMP SEAL, CHARCOAL CANISTER, NVLD VALVE AND PURGE VALVE. NO HELP. THIS NEEDS THE TANK RECALL OR SOMEONE MAY DIE. *TR

WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. MY MOTOR WHICH UP UNTIL THIS POINT HAS GIVEN ME NO PROBLEMS STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND CUT OFF. WENT TO START THE CAR AND GOT A LOUD CLANGING IN MOTOR WHICH HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A DROPPED VALVE SEAT

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN CARTHAGE, MS WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED. ABOUT 10 MILES TRAVELING AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE INCESSANT DINGING FINALLY QUIT. WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS AS WE WERE TRAVELING. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER RECALL AND NOW HAVE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. THE SEATBELT LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD IT CORRECTED ONE TIME AT OUR EXPENSE, BUT CANNOT DO THIS AGAIN. I FEEL IT IS INCUMBENT UPON DAILMER CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THE EVERYDAY CUSTOMER CANNOT CONTINUE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED YEARS AGO. THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THIS DAY WITH NEWER VEHICLES THAN OURS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AT WHICH TIME OUR BODY SHOP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING AGAIN AND IT HAS COME ON AGAIN. I HAD MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE, AND I REAR-ENDED AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NHTSA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY.
