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. *TR
