I ordered a super sized drink that was too large to fit in the cup holder, so I sat the drink in the center console to keep it stabile while I drove home. A car drove thru the stop sign without stopping and I had to make a sudden stop and the drink tipped over in the console. I removed the console thinking I can wipe off whatever I can wipe off , let the area air dry for a day or two then put it back together and it would be alright. However, the light remained on while driving.

Took it to be inspected and have the brake lines replaced due to age and rust. When I went to pick up the car, the mechanic opened the door for me. When he opened the door, the handle broke off. Also, the inside handle broke off last year, so the plastic isn't that good. They should use metal handles instead.

Smell the odor of gasoline at times around the car. Very lucky no fire. Found two pin wholes that only leak when the fuel vapor pressure inside the tank comes up. One pin whole slightly to the driver's side of the exhaust pipe but spraying toward the exhaust pipe. The other pin hole is above the exhaust pipe heat shield spraying onto the body and draining down on to the exhaust pipe heat shield. Purchased car new, never been in an accident, no road damage to tank, never operated in a salt environment, no rust. Just found today -- have not repaired.
