| Description of the problem | I have a very strong odor of gasoline after filling the tank. I am afraid that my water heater is in the garage with that gas smell it might explode. I took the car to dealer and they said it's normal . But when i checked the consumer complaint online many owners have the same problem. I have to park my car outside when i smell gas in my garage. Please look in to it before someone have to die because the defect. I never own a car before that had that problem and i think this is a very very serious matter. |
