Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD BEEN SMELLING GAS COMING FROM OUR CAR FOR A WHILE. WE TOOK IT IN TO GET THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THEY TOLD US THAT WE HAD A FUEL PUMP LEAK AND WOULD NOT WORK ON THE BRAKES UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THE COST TO FIX IS WELL BEYOND OUR MEANS AND NOW WE ARE GOING THROUGH A HALF A TANK OF GAS EVERY 3 DAYS FOR LESS THAN 30MILES OF TRAVEL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THIS PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES, NOT INCLUDING THE ONE WE LIVE IN. WE HAVE A VERY YOUNG CHILD AND ONE ON THE WAY AND DO NOT WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN. *TR
