Consumer Description

AFTER I FILLED THE GASOLINE TANK I NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. I GOT A BAD HEADACHE FROM THE FUMES BEFORE I GOT HOME. I DID NOT SMELL ANY GAS IN THE TRUNK, ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR IN THE FUEL FILLER DOOR. I VENTILATED THE CABIN AND TRIED TO DETERMINE WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. IT SEEMED TO BE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT OR BACK SEAT. EVEN AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT AND HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN ALL DAY IT STILL WREAKS OF GASOLINE INSIDE. THE SMELL HAS NOT LEFT THE CABIN AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.
