Consumer Description

THE CAR SMELLS OF FUEL CONTINUOUSLY IN SIDE AND OUT. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST 5 WEEKS WITHOUT CAUSE. IT SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED ON THE DRIVERS WHEEL WELL. IT SEEMS THAT IS A MORE PRONOUNCED PROBLEM WHEN THE TANK IS 1/2 FULL OR HIGHER. I CAN NOT PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AS IT STINKS UP THE HOUSE. I'VE LEARNED FROM RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A PLASTIC ELBOW CONNECTOR THAT DETERIORATES OVER TIME ON TOP OF THE TANK, CRACKS AND SPRAYS FUEL. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL, IT CERTAINLY SHOULD BE.
