Consumer Description

Hawley Motors delivered vehicle to our home on 10/23/2022 that we had just purchased and pick up our trade-in vehicle. We put the newly purchased vehicle in the garage within a short time started to smell fuel. At that time, we just thought they over filled tank and that was just from the over filling. Next day when we return from an event in the evening, the smell had permeated throughout the home not just garage. I checked online and found that this is a common problem with this vehicle and year. The plastic fuel module cracks and let's fuel leak. These is obviously very dangerous!
