Consumer Description

INTENSE GAS SMELL AND SLIGHT IGNITION DELAY. NO GAS SMELL UNTIL AFTER IT IS RUNNING.. I UNDERSTAND I SHOULD NOT EVEN DRIVE VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF A FIRE DANGER. MANY MORE COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MIND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK BECAUSE OF FIRZE. I QUESTION WHY THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL. WE CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE A YEAR TO WAIT FOR AN INVESTIGATION.
