Consumer Description

STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING THAT DOES NOT DISIPATE. 2002-2003 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME DESIGN FLAW IN FUEL LINE. SINCE I OWN A 2004, REPAIR MAY COST UPWARDS OF $400 DUE TO EXTENSIVE LABOR INVOLVED. FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE WHEN RESEARCHING SITUATION ONLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
