 Description of the problemI began smelling gasoline when inside the car. I called the dealer to schedule an appointment to have the car checked for fuel leaks. The dealer suggested bringing the car in the following week. So i took the car to a nearby oil change service company and had them change the oil and check for a fuel leak. The oil change service could not find a fuel leak, but confirmed that they smelled gasoline and suggested i take it to the dealer. On december 10, 2014, i took the car to the dealer and was told that they found a fuel leak at the fuel filter assembly that is under the back seat and that the repair would be $649. 00. And it was possible that once they repaired that, the leaking at the tank may increase requiring replacement of the gas tank. As i waited for the repair, i searched the internet to see if this repair was the subject of a recall. I found that this exact issue is being investigated by the nhtsa, nhtsa action number: pe12001. I showed the service technician what i found on the internet and he said all they could do is replace the fuel filter assembly to see if that would fix the leak. They changed the tank inner module, 211-470-60-94, for $264. 00; 2 seal rings, 211-471-05-79, at $39. 53 ea for $79. 06; discounted the labor from $343. 66 to $187. 50; and miscellaneous charges and sales tax, for a total service repair bill of $576. 03 for replacement of fuel filter system and seal rings. At this time it is unclear whether this will in fact fix the problem or make it worse.
