Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE ONLY DURING START UP AND ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A HEATED PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE SMELL OCCURS AND IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN ALSO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU OPEN THE HOOD WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.
