| Description of the problem | I am referencing action # pe12001. After each of my last two feelings, the car is emitting a very strong smell of gasoline. I park my car in my garage and the smell is strong enough that i can smell it in my home. I am extremely fearful that there will be a fire. I do not desire to park my car outside, but i believe the car is unsafe to keep in garage. I have lost confidence in my car fearing that even driving it around town could pose a danger to me and my passengers. |
