Consumer Description

STRONG GASOLINE ODOR OUTSIDE AND AT TIMES INSIDE THE CAR. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL IN 2010 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP, BUT IT ONLY COVERED CERTAIN STATES. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MINNESOTA IT WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. NHTSA INVESTIGATION FAULTED A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. APPARENTLY 90F TO -20F TEMPERATURE SWINGS IN MINNESOTA WAS NOT DEEMED SUFFICIENT TO BE INCLUDED OR NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. *JS
