Consumer Description

I SMELL STRONG FUEL WHILE DRIVING. AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL, THE SMELL OCCURS WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. SINCE I LIVE IN TEXAS, MY AIR CONDITIONING IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON, SO THE FUEL SMELL IS A CONSTANT REMINDER. I CHECKD IF MY AIR CIRCULATION KNOB IS TURNED TO INTERIOR ONLY. THAT DIDN'T MATTER. THE SMELL OF FUEL IS THERE WHETHER AIR CIRCULATION IS EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO FUEL/GASOLINE DELIVERY PROBLEMS FOR MAKE : CHRYSLER MODEL : PT CRUISER YEAR : 2002 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V215000 RECALL DATE : AUG 07, 2002 COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY I DON'T KNOW IF MY PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS 2002 MODEL RECALLS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ADVISE. I COULDN'T TELL IF THIS LEADS TO FIRE OR INJURY TO MYSELF AND FAMILY. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! *AK
