Consumer Description

I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAK UNDER THE DRIVER'S DOOR. A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS THAT THERE ARE 2 RUBBER FUEL LINES THAT TOUCH AND HAVE WORN THROUGH EACH OTHER, CAUSING THEM TO LEAK FUEL. THIS IS ALL WITHIN INCHES OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD ASSUME THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD EASILY BE AVOIDED. *TR
