Consumer Description

ON 7/26/10 I PURCHASED 2008 CERTIFIED TOYOTA PRIUS. I DIDN'T RECEIVE CAR UNTIL 7/28/10. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/29/10 BECAUSE THE INSIDE CABIN SMELLS LIKE GAS AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT IT DID SMELL LIKE GAS AND IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. CURRENTLY TOYOTA IS LOOKING AT CAUSE OF PROBLEM. I FEAR THIS CAR MIGHT BE A DANGEROUS COMBINATION OF HIGH POWER VOLTAGE AND GAS FUMES. VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED AND SOLD IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION. DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM IS LONGO TOYOTA LOCATED IN EL MONTE, CA. *TR
