Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. THIS SMELL IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING AND LONG AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN POWERED OFF. A VISUAL INSPECTION BY A FRIEND WHO IS A 'SHADE-TREE' MECHANIC SHOW NO OBVIOUS LEAKS NOR DO I NOTICE ANYTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE WINDOWS CRACKED. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING OTHER OWNERS HAVE SEEN AND IF POSSIBLY THERE IS OR WILL BE A RECALL? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING (AND GETTING WORSE) FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
