| Description of the problem | On many occasions both my husband and i have smelled gasoline when getting into the car as well as when driving the car. This is not after fueling the car when there may be a smell of gasoline. Its when it has been sitting or just driving down the road. We have not noticed a leak. I have seen on the news today that the national highway traffic safety is wanting a recall of certain model jeep grand cherokee's but the corporation is not planning to move forward with recalls. Although my jeep grand cherokee is a 2008 model and not on the list of year models, this issue with fuel leakage and dangerous situations with rear end crashes concerns me since we have and continue to smell gasoline when getting into and driving our car. Can you please document this and provide me more specifics as to why and how the leak may be occurring and if there is any action i need to take to remedy the problem. |
