MY VEHICLE QUALIFIES FOR A FEW RECALLS BUT IS NOT LISTED AS ONE OF THE RECALLED CARS. I SUFFER SOME THE EXACT ISSUES THE FACTORY RECALLED BUT MY CAR IS NOT A RECALLED CAR. ITS REALLY INCONVENIENT TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THESE ISSUES BECAUSE I AM WORRIED I COULD GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE. *TR
THE VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING GAS AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION. GASOLINE ODOR ALSO INSIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS, NO ACCIDENTS, NO DAMAGE TO CAR. *TR
