Oct 2014 I remote started my car. My grandson was in the car, when I came outside I smelled a strong odor of gasoline. Gas fumes was coming through the vents and gas was leaking, took to olathe dodge they supposedly fixed it. 3 fuel injectors and loose hose. Jan 2014, same thing happened I was driving down the road this time a loud clang, strong gas fumes came through the vents and I parked and had it towed back to olathe dodge. They fixed again. I got my car back and took it 2 blocks and it was smoking blue/black smoke really bad, I took it back to olathe dodge. They called me 6 days later and said it was fixed, I took off work to pick it up got in the car the engine light was back on and could still smell gas. They kept the car and gave me rental and called back 7 days later. This time it was fixed. On feb 17, I was going to hospital to see my new grandson, I got off work started driving and the gas fumes were back in my car. I kept driving to the hospital with the window down about 2 inches because gas fumes coming through vents. I left my car at hospital and called olathe dodge. They said to bring it down to them. I drove it to olathe knowing that the fumes was coming through the vents. On feb 18th I went to dr. Because my face was swollen and red. The dr. Said that I was walking in the cold, which caused me to get wind burned. I work in doors. I called poison control to see what I can do. They said that I should not get back in that car until it is fixed because that is dangerous. This is the 6th time that they tried to fix it. Everyone told me that this car is a lemon. I love my car and had high hopes that they would fix it. I have 3 grandbabies that ride with me in my car. What if this car catches on fire.. I would not be able to get my 1, 2, and 3 year old grand babies out of their carseats fast enough... God forbid ... Please help me.
