| Description of the problem | I returned from a 2 and a half week trip and started up my car (which i had filled up prior to leaving on my trip) and discovered a very strong odor of gasoline in the passenger cabin. The odor did not disappear as i drove the car. I took it to my dealer and they said the gasoline unit under the rear seat was leaking. |
