| Description of the problem | I got in my car yesterday to drive it and the odor of gasoline was overwhelming. I took it to my mechanic who told me that one of the fuel pumps under my car had a faulty connection and, as a result, fumes were escaping into the car. The entire pump needs to be replaced to the tune of at least $800. He said the only reason he knew what was wrong, without even looking at the car, was because another client had the exact same issue. He agreed that it sounds like a defective part. |
