Consumer Description

MY CAR IS INCREASINGLY SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE AND EXHAUST. OUR GARAGE SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. WHEN I USE A/C THE CABIN SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST. I JUST MADE A 5 MINUTE TRIP TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AND IT MADE ME FEEL DIZZY. WE HAVE NEVER SKIPPED ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE, EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE. THE ODDLY GASOLINE-Y SMELL IN OUR GARAGE HAS JUST SUDDENLY GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I REALIZE IT IS COMING FROM MY HONDA PILOT - I CAN FOLLOW THE SCENT DIRECTLY TO THE CAR EVEN WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN. THE INTERIOR OF OUR CAR IS NOW BEING AFFECTED AND THE SMELL IS MUCH STRONGER WHEN A/C RUNS. HAD TO TURN IT OFF.
