Recent 2001 Dodge Viper complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 181,575 miles · reported May 18, 2020

The fuel tank leaks at the fill neck when you fill car past 3/4 full. It leaks both when driving and when parked. The fuel leaks down the frame and exhaust pipe to the ground. In 2001-2002 dodge hire a different (Cheaper) company to make their fuel tanks. As a result they leak at tank where filler neck attaches. Dodge's correction was to put a hatch for fuel tank replacement on the r/t models but not on the gts models. It is a known issue (On every car forum I found) without a recall. I wish this to be recalled before a fire happens.
