Consumer Description

A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION AND IT GOT NOTICEABLY STRONGER WHILE IDLING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT PLACED ME IN A LOANER. COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED 2 MORE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK.THEY REPAIRED WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE THE PROBLEM BUT I WAS BACK IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER AND IN ANOTHER LOANER. 4 TECHNICIANS AND 2 SERVICE MANAGERS LATER,THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REBUILT DUE TO A FUEL LEAK DUE TO A FAULTY O-RING. CAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL AND COST OVER 1200 TO REPAIR.
