| Description of the problem | Re complaint number 10778442 since the last report the situation has gotten much worse. Initially the gasoline fumes would occur while the tank was more than 1/2 full. Now the fumes are very very strong when the tank is full but remain strong even as the fuel indicator nears the empty mark. This this the only vehicle i own and my family and myself cannot remain in the car for more than a few moments. The fume are overpowering and this is a major health concern wise as well as a chance of fire. |
