Consumer Description

SINCE DRIVING VEHICLE OFF LOT, I'VE NOTICE A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE UNDERHOOD AREA INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN THROUGH THE HEATING/COOLING VENTS. THIS REGULARLY OCCURS DURING WARM RESTARTS AND WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC WITH A WARM ENGINE. ODOR IS MORE NOTICABLE WITH DASH VENTS BLOWING. FUEL LINE RECALL WAS ACTED UPON BUT DIDN'T PROVIDE SOLUTION.
