A raw fuel smell was present in the consumers vehicle at all times which made the consumer feel nauseous. The dealer replaced several components but the problem persisted. The consumer found a recall related to this problem but when the manufacturer was contacted they indicated that the vehicle was not included due to VIN. *mr
This was done on invoice 171017, but due to the complexity of this inspection I fail to see how this can be accomplished in the 18 minutes annotated on the invoice. The fuel tank filler is literally buried above the tank in the rear above the axle. This tank leaks now and has been since about two months after I bought the car. It has had a strong fuel odor since I bought the car. The service writer said that was normal on efi cars. I don't think so.
T-tops are leaking, roof soaked, overheats and anti-freeze & gasoline smell is given off. Tt
