Consumer Description

EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IN EVEN THE MILDEST TO COLDEST TEMPERATURES, THE CAR HAS AN EXTREME GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY CLAIM THEY DON'T EVEN SMELL IT AND CANNOT SERVICE IT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MODEL 02 AND 03 OF THIS CAR BUT DOES NOT COVER MY YEAR. IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE DURING COLD WEATHER. THE RECALLS ALSO DO NOT COVER THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN GETTING COLD SNAPS PUTTING US BELOW 0. CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM IS DETECTABLE EVEN IN 40 DEGREE WEATHER, THIS DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE. *TR
