When vehicle is started you can smell gas fumes, within minutes the check engine light comes on. Vehicle is taken into dealer. Dealer tests it and says it a leak. They can't find it and they reset the light. Within 2 weeks the same thing happen. They replaced the gas cap a few times and changed a gasket above the fuel tank. This made no difference. Just recently the vehicle has been into the dealer twice in a month. The dealer suggested trading in the vehicle and changed the gas cap again. The last time the vehicle was in they suggested a tune up, which is normally done within suggested times anyways, but did it and charged us for it. Again same thing happened. Vehicle was taken to near by service department to be tested.results (large leak)..the problem has been ongoing , nothing is being done to solve it.

The vehicle with 10529 miles lost all power during highway driving at about 55 MPH. The engine warning light came on. After about 15 minutes, I started the car and drove about one half mile before it lost all power again and the warning light came on again. The car was towed. After considerable time in the dealer's shop during which the problems were apparently difficult enough to warrant consultation with the manufacturer, the drive oil pump, the main computer (module powertra.), camshaft sensor, and crankshaft sensor were replaced. At 10747 miles, the engine warning light came on again. The car was again towed to the garage although it had been running for about 3/4 mile after the light came on. The diagnosis was that the #4 cylinder was misfiring. The synchronization was reset without any parts replacement.
