Consumer Description

RE COMPLAINT NUMBER 10778442 SINCE THE LAST REPORT THE SITUATION HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. INITIALLY THE GASOLINE FUMES WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE TANK WAS MORE THAN 1/2 FULL. NOW THE FUMES ARE VERY VERY STRONG WHEN THE TANK IS FULL BUT REMAIN STRONG EVEN AS THE FUEL INDICATOR NEARS THE EMPTY MARK. THIS THIS THE ONLY VEHICLE I OWN AND MY FAMILY AND MYSELF CANNOT REMAIN IN THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A FEW MOMENTS. THE FUME ARE OVERPOWERING AND THIS IS A MAJOR HEALTH CONCERN WISE AS WELL AS A CHANCE OF FIRE.
