    My son’s first car. That should give you a heads up right away. Worked
    fine when we got it. Now found gas on one of the spark plugs. Any clue
    what or where is the problem?

    Mom with alot of gray hairs.... :x

    If you mean the wire end of the plug (as opposed to the spark side which is
    inside the engine combustion chamber so should be exposed to vaporized gas
    there), then this is a serious problem and needs to be fixed ASAP or risk a
    fire. I'd guess the only way fuel could get there is from a leaking fuel
    rail. As I recall, there was a manufacturer recall on many Chryslers
    covering many years. I do not know if this vehicle was covered or if the
    mandatory service was performed. I'd suggest you contact the dealer and
    give them the VIN asking them to see if any recalls are outstanding. If I
    understand your observations correctly, then do not drive the car in this
    condition.
