Bad gas smell in car after I fill the tank

Gas tank and fuel pumps are located under passenger seat. The primary fuel pump is located on rear passenger side. I have been getting a gas smell after fueling. I thought maybe some gas spilled or it was my fuel filler neck so I had it checked perfectly fine. So I fueled again today and smelled gas. Lifted rear seat and noticed crack on black plastic cover. Removed and a pool of gas on top of driver side fuel pump. Researched online and found several charger challenger Chrysler owners with the same exact issues. I also found where a minor accident caused the death of 4 people car went up in flames. My kids sit in this back seat and it is very very alarming. I'm surprised that there is no recall on this as of yet. It's a well known issue amongst owner just Google fuel pooling on fuel pump. Shoot there's even a manufacturer making reinforced covers so this doesn't happen. What happens is the weight from sitting in the back seat smashes on the covers and the connectors causing the plastic fuel pump to crack after a while also possibly damaging the connectors. This is a very expensive fix it not deadly. The car almost becomes not drivable. I hope this gets addressed and all owners receive compensation.

I noticed a strong gas smell in my car after I fill up. And every time I filled the tank the smell would be very strong inside the car. Well after about 6 months of not filling up, L recently had it checked out and it turns out the plastic fuel pump casing is cracked and gas is pooling underneath the passenger side sit.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Charger. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and the contact noticed a fuel odor. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (scap auto, 430 tunxis hill rd, fairfield, ct, 203-384-0005) where it was diagnosed that the power box was rewired and could cause a fire. The technician recommended that the power box be replaced and that diagnostic testing was needed. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000.

While driving, smell of raw fuel entered vehicle. Happened a couple of times and went away. Happened again, and did not go away. Could not park the vehicle in a garage. Took it to dealership, diagnosed as faulty fuel filler. New fuel filler back-ordered, parts available*. car is a safety hazard with fuel vapors escaping.
