Consumer Description

I CAN SMELL GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES THE ODOR IS MORE WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE SMELL ISN'T THERE ALL THE TIME, BUT IS PRETTY STRONG WHEN IT IS PRESENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES -- EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2014.
