Gas leaking, module fuel pump & sender assembly had to be replaced, article in times paper said it was recalled because of this problem in 2012, I never received a recall notice. This could have been a very dangerous problem as the gas odor was very strong and I kept having to fill my car up with gas. Did not take it to the dealership because I did not receive a notice and wanted it fixed before someone got hurt or killed so I took it to my mechanic. It was leaking gas when it was stationary, in motion but I smelled it the most when it was in the garage locked up.

Fuel line is cracked and leaking, it is part of the fuel pump assembly. Their are recalls regaurding similar issues on various models the same year. This vehicle should be under recall as well. I am the tech working on this vehicle and this is the second one I have seen within a year. It leaks fuel from the top of the fuel tank down the back and on the exhaust pipe. Very dangerous safety situation. I will keep the old part just in case you would like it.
