There's a recall for fuel leaks at fuel pump (lines crack). Was informed recall had been preformed already. So I guess they used another faulty fuel pump. So what can I do now? Just got the car a little over a month ago. And could smell gas. Unknown exactly when it happened.

The speedometer on the car doesn't work correctly if at all when driving as well as the the fuel gauge. The car started it's dingy noise as if the key is always in the ignition (when off) or a door is ajar. It won't shut off when driving or when turned and it drains the battery. This car has had more problems and should've been recalled. The fuel pump was recalled but there are so many issues that have happened. Driving without the speedometer working of the fuel gauge working correctly should be addressed and the dealer is not able to fix the problem. Super frustrating! Dealing with this issue now for over a year. Having to take it back to the dealership for the 3rd time.
