Description of the problem	I have been noticing a very strong odor of gasoline coming out of the driver side passenger seat in the back, outside of the car. The order is in the inside of the car as well, but it is most noticeable outside of the vehicle. It generally happens when i fill up the gas tank and then dissipates after the gas tank is around 3/4 to 1/2 full. I am really concerned about this issue not only, because it is affecting my gas milage, but because it is risking not only my life but the lives of my passengers. I am sure that the inhalation of gasoline vapors is not good for anyones health and not to mention the dangers of the vapors in the presence of any kind of flame. I did some research on the issue, and i have found that this is not an isolated event. This has lead me to believe that this is a design flaw of mbusa. My research has also showed me that mbusa has been aware of the issues for quite some time, but is insisting on its costumer pay the repairs that range anywhere from $300 to $1500. I would completely understand, the customers accepting the responsibility for the repairs, if mbusa provided a product that was not already flawed in its inception. *js
