| Description of the problem | Strong odor of fuel after filling tank. This quickly lead to fuel odor anytime car was started. I became aware of similar problems posted about my vehicle online. I removed the back passenger seat and inspected the fuel pump below panels and found that the driver side plastic pump hanger assembly is leaking at the plastic 90 degree fitting and filling the area with fuel and spilling over onto the top of the tank. The vehicle is unsafe to drive with the amount of fuel escaping. |
