Consumer Description

RAW FUEL ODOR IN CABIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO PERSONAL MECHANIC AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL LINES UNDER EXHAUST MANIFOLD WERE DRY AND HAD CRACKED. REPLACED TWO LINES AT THE COST OF >$750 PARTS AND LABOR. A YEAR LATER THE FUEL SMELL CAME BACK. UPON COMPLETING ANOTHER REPAIR, IT WAS DETERMINED THE OTHER TWO LINES WERE ALSO DRY AND CRACK AND WERE REPAIRED. COST COULD NOT BE SINGLED OUT AS THE REPAIR WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER. FUEL SMELL WAS PRESENT ESPECIALLY ON COLD MORNINGS (<30F). *TR
