Consumer Description

WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 10 MIN AND THEN SHUT OFF, WHEN YOU RESTART THE ENGINE YOU GET A STRONG FUEL VAPOR FROM THE VENTS IN THE CAR. ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS COLLING DOWN LIKE IN THE GARAGE YOU GET A STRONG FUEL VAPOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FUEL LEAKS AND THAT IT MUST BE A NEW ENGINE BURN OFF SMELL. I HAVE SPOKE TO AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE ON EDMUNDS .COM WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP BECAUSE I FEEL THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. *AK
