| Description of the problem | Gas smell coming through the vents started off every now and then and became more frequent. Pulled it in the garage and the gas fumes made the total garage smell. Took it to the dealer and they said it is fuel line, that sits near the engine. It is in the shop now. After googling i see several other people have had this issue with this car. They cannot tell me yet what caused the problem, i am waiting to hear that |
