| Description of the problem | The vehicle smelled of a gas leak. The issue was mentioned to service advisors but dismissed as a non-issue. The issue persisted causing breathing problems and light headedness. After two service visits the issue was still not addressed. Conveniently after 150,000 miles the service department was able to find the issue, but then stated that it was no longer covered under warranty. Previous times the car was brought in under 150,000 miles they were not able to find the problem. |
