This will be my 3rd time having this [XXX] Plastic oil filter/cooler housing replaced and this will be 2nd time having done less than a 2yr time-frame... But this time; after getting the oil changed at Walmart today, my car was about to catch on fire from majority of the oil was running done on the passenger side of the car where the transmission sits and burning off of the Hot [XXX] Catalytic Converter! It's [XXX] shame that Chrysler/Mopar had more than enough complaints about this well known Catastrophic Issue and won't take any Accountability for it... That's why Dorman [XXX] and a few more companies had at least stepped up to the plate and created an better version, of the oil filter cooler housing. Not only is it better but is also all aluminum and doesn't warp or become brittle under extreme conditions from atmospheric temperatures nor engine heat! [XXX] which eventually manifest as severe oil and coolant leaks. The number of complaints regarding the Pentastar V6 oil filter housing and cooler assembly is staggering. See them here, at [XXX]. There have been so many complaints -?" with the OE replacements even, that Chrysler has discontinued the manufacturing of the Pentastar oil filter housing and cooler assembly. Even more surprising is that Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and has never issued a recall.

Strong fuel Oder in car after fueling. It's been venting in the cabin and it makes you lightheaded after some time of driving. I've checked for leaks and no leaks. I suspect fuel is gathering under rear seats. The smell seems to be most prominent around the rear D/S seat and near the fuel nozzle entry area.

On multiple occasions I refueled my vehicle without topping off. A strong odor of fuel can be smelled in the cabin of the car after fueling while driving and even more when stopped at a traffic light. When I parked to investigate the strong gasoline smell, raw fuel could be seen running from behind the wheel well onto the ground. I turned off the vehicle and waited for the fuel to stop hitting the ground before starting and driving the vehicle again. My concern was the fuel leaking onto the hot exhaust and causing a fire.

My Chrysler dealer is slow in dealing with two recalls. One year waiting for air bag recall solution and now I'm told "no parts" for emission canister recall. Why the delay at this terrible service center?

Car keeps saying service fuel sensor. I bought the car from enterprise rental car in March 2015 and in June 2015 the check engine light came on and the gas tank picture kelp blinking. I took it to Chrysler Dodge Jeep in duncanville, tx and they supposedly fixed the problem. Well my car have been to the shop 5 times with the same problem over the past 3 yrs. It is currently doing the same thing at this time so this will make the 6th time it has to go to the shop for this issue. My warranty is out and I don't feel I should have to pay for this problem. I can't even get my car to pass inspection until this problem is fixed I don't know if the dealership reported the problem but I reported it to Chrysler corporation last year..
