Consumer Description

I AM REFERENCING ACTION # PE12001. AFTER EACH OF MY LAST TWO FUEL FILLLINGS, THE CAR IS EMITTING A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM THE BACK SEAT & TRUNK COMPARTMENT. I PARK MY CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THE SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT I CAN SMELL IT IN MY HOME. I AM EXTREMELY FEARFUL THAT THERE WILL BE A FIRE. I DO NOT DESIRE TO PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE, BUT I BELIEVE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO KEEP IN GARAGE. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN MY CAR FEARING THAT EVEN DRIVING IT AROUND TOWN COULD POSE A DANGER TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS.
