Leaks fuel from top of fuel pump when parked, car full of gas fumes. It poses an immediate threat to my safety and my children. No warning lamp

My 2015 Dodge Charger is in the shop because of the “Fuel pump and pigtail to the the fuel pump, burnt off the exhaust ” per the mechanics exact words. The mechanic told me my car has the possibility to catch fire/explode and can pose great harm to me and anyone in the car. I was also informed this problem was a manufacturing issue and there was nothing I could have done to cause it or prevent it. This problem is extremely reminiscent of the R07 recall in 2015 Dodge Chargers, yet my 2015 Dodge Charger Vin does not show this recall for my car specifically. I believe this is a matter of safety and should be explained to all 2015 Dodge Chargers.

THE CONNECTOR TO THE FUEL PUMP OVERHEATS CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT ITS WAY INTO THE FUEL TANK. FUEL LEAKS UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND THE FUMES FILL THE CAR. I PURCHASED A NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND IT CAME WITH A WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR. THERE WAS OVERHEATING MENTIONED WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, SO THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. HOW CAN GAS UNDER THE REAR SEAT NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN?

WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, OCCUPANTS SMELL A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. CHECKED FUEL PUMPS UNDER BACK SEAT AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON TOP OF THE DRIVER SIDE FUEL PUMP. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THE FUEL TO BE COMING OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FUEL PUMP. ALL SEALS WERE STILL GOOD. THE CONNECTORS WERE BURNT OUT AND THE PLASTIC WAS MELTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET. (APPROX 20). THE SMELL IS CONSISTENT ONCE THE CONNECTOR IS MELTED.

IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS.
