Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT HAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE TO THE POINT OF FEELING DIZZY IN MY 10 MINUTE COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. THIS STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE BY THE WEEK. WHAT APPEARS TO BE A GASOLINE LEAK HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT NOW EVEN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. I'VE HAD TO RESORT TO DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AND PARKING MY CAR OUTSIDE THE GARAGE FOR FEAR OF EITHER PASSING OUT WHEN DRIVING OR CREATING A FIRE HAZARD IN MY GARAGE.
