After having been away from the car for an hour or so when it has stood in the sun, the steering wheel is too hot to touch, and if you are wearing shorts, the seat burns your arse.
Another point to remember is what happens when you need the fuel and remove the cap.Whether it's just been bounced around or subject to 50c, the petrol will explode in your face.
Depends where you put your face in relation to the cap. And explode is a bit of an exaggeration. I'd hope most people know how to open a pressurised container safely.

Not really a problem if you only put the stated amount of fuel into the can. The stated capacity has an allowance for fuel expansion. If you over fill it to the brim you will have a problem but why would you do that with a volatile liquid?

Not really. I carry fuel inside car 2x jerry cans. Heat is never an issue. Namibia an botswana in 40 degrees. Jerry canns also seal properly. There is no fumes etc.
Frontrunner jerrycan holder keep them nice and tight. I have the double jerrycan set.
Cans outside car in direct sunlight gets hotter anyway.
