Consumer Description

WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING OR WHILE THE FUEL SYSTEM IS STILL UNDER PRESSURE, FOR EXAMPLE AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN THERE IS A STEADY FUEL LEAK IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR ONLY TO HAVE LOST 1/4 OF A TANK OF GASOLINE TO THE LEAK. THERE IS A VERY VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE THAT PERMEATES THE CAR. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO START, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO CRANK AFTER I RELEASE THE KEY AND THEN IT FINALLY CATCHES AND STARTS .I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN ONLY CERTAIN STATES.
