What owners wrote
Strong smell of raw fuel after car was delivered on march 4, 2016. There is a leak in the fuel system which has not yet been rectified by the dealership as of march 17, 2016. When the car is running, you can smell fuel (raw gas). It actually was coming in to the cabin via the fresh air vents on the dash. It's worse when the car is parked or at a stop light. I detected what I thought was a loose fuel line but dealership has not yet stated whether that is the problem.
After filling my charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while I am driving, I lose the power steering and I am unable restart it right away. It happens every time I fill up, and I have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.
