2014 MAZDA CX-5 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

There is a pressure crack that goes almost all the way across my front windshield, there are no chips or dings in the glass. Second you can smell gas fumes near the back of the car but no gas is leaking

Strong gasoline odor outside the vehicle. I verified that the gas cap is locked after filling up. I see no dash board warning lights that would suggest that there is a problem with the fuel cap or fuel system. The odor is still there even after running the tank down considerably. The smell is mostly detected on the driver side of the vehicle starting at the driver door and moving toward the rear of the vehicle where the fuel door is positioned. The smell is there in warm and cooler weather. It is 60 degrees F and I can smell .it.

THE ENGINE WAS IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR WAS STOPPED FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS- AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE STARTS TO REV, LOUD CLUNK FROM BEHIND AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD AT LEAST 5 FEET. FEELS AS THOUGH WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTS TO REV UP TO 4000-5000 RPM WHILE AT STOP AND WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY (NOT HIGHWAY DRIVING)

I THEN BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY GAS MILEAGE INDICATOR WOULD DROP THE MILES LEFT ON MY GAS TANK FROM APPROXIMATELY 15-50 MILES FROM THE TIME IT WAS PARKED TO THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE ENGINE.
