Consumer Description

GAS SMELL IN CAR 11/2017 WHILE IN MOTION. EXPERIENCING A SORT OF 'HESITATION', LIKE WANTING TO STALL. BROUGHT TO DEALER. DEALER IDENTIFIED ISSUE- CRACK IN FUEL RAIL, LEAKING ON ENGINE. ITEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED AT JUST UNDER $1K TO REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO SIGN A WAIVER SAYING I KNEW MY CAR WAS A FIRE HAZARD SINCE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY THEIR RATES FOR THE REPAIR. TOLD ME I WOULD END UP IN THE NEWS IF I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED THERE. I REFUSED, AND TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR.
