Consumer Description
IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. NOW THAT SMELL IS OCCURRING INSIDE THE CAR ALSO EVERTIME I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL DATABASES ON LINE TO SEE IF OTHER CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES.IT IS BECOMING STRONGER NOW THAN BEFORE, HOWEVER I CANNOT DETECT A LEAK UNDER THE CAR. I WILL BE CONTACTING A DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT IS NOT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN ANOTHER STATE. THE PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER VEHICLES LIKE THIS MAKE AND MODEL IS A SMALL LEAK AT THE VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK DUE TO A BROKEN OR CRACKED CONNECTOR OF SOME SORT.
