FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK OF THIS VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK ACCEPTS ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE AT A TIME, APPROXIMATELY ONE-TENTH OF A GALLON AT A TIME. ALTHOUGH THE GAS TANK ON THE CAR IS FAR FROM FULL, THE PERSON FUELING THE TANK THEN CONTINUES TO SQUEEZE THE HANDLE ON THE GASOLINE SPIGOT, BUT THE TANK REJECTS THE GASOLINE AND THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR BODY, THE PERSON AND THE GROUND BENEATH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF 2010 DODGE CHARGERS RENTED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS. THIS MAY BE A FILLER TUBE VENTING PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
I RECENTLY RENTED A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH POWER SEATS. NONE OF THE ADJUSTING BUTTONS ARE MARKED. AT THE FRONT SIDE CORNER OF THE SEAT IS A TOGGLE BUTTON. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE; I MOVED THIS BUTTON TO ADJUST THE SEAT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LOGICAL. THIS BUTTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER SEATS. THIS BUTTON WHEN ACTIVATED RAISES AND LOWERS THE GAS PEDAL POSITION AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION. IT CAN BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT THE ACCELERATION AND BRAKING CAN BE INCREASED OR DECREASED UNEXPECTEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT THE LEAST; IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MOVE THESE PEDALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NO ACCIDENT RESULTED; BUT IT IS VERY DISORIENTING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
POWER ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT SYSTEM HAS A TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT THAT IS EASILY CAUGHT BY A JACKET OR A COAT. THIS CAUSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE TOWARDS YOU WHILE DRIVING AND IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE FASTER BECAUSE YOUR FOOT IS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO MOVE THESE PEDALS FORWARD OR BACK AWAY FROM THE DRIVER NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED TO THE DASH OR INOPERABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. *TR
