I STARTED SMELLING GAS SO BAD THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAD IT CHECKED. THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING, WHICH IS UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT WHERE MY CHILDREN SIT. IT COST ABOUT $400.00 TO FIX. HOWEVER, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TWICE BECAUSE OF THE "O" RINGS. (THAT IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT AT THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR FIXED) THEY SAID THAT THE MANUFACTURE CHANGED THE PART SO THEY HAD TO OF KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT. A GAS LEAK SITUATION, WHEN I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR COULD HAVE TURNED INTO SOMETHING MORE THEN JUST A GAS LEAK. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS PROBLEM PUBLIC. *TR

A RECALL IS NOT IN PLACE FOR MY VEHICLE BUT IS IN PLACE FOR OTHERS WITH THE SAME SHIFTER AND MAKE THAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY THE DEALERSHIP. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *JB

MAGNUM 5.7L RT AWD..... STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER GAS TANK FILL-UP. TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF RUNNING BEFORE ENGINE RUNS NORMALLY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG (IE NO ERROR CODES). INTERNET SEARCH LOCATES MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME DEALER RESPONSE, BUT INDICATE THAT IT IS A FAULT OF THE GAS TANK EMISSIONS COMPONENTS. *JS
