Description of the problem	Filled gas tank late in the evening, and returned home. Car sat overnight and had strong smell of gasoline in morning. Opened all doors, looked underneath car and found no fuel leak. Aired the car for several minutes and then drove to work. During the one hour drive, the smell began to get worse. I opened windows partially, but could not open wide due to rain. I developed a headache before arrival. Left car parked at work all day in underground garage. The odor was again strong in the evening. I aired the interior as much as possible before driving home. Again, after nearly one hour, i developed a headache and felt squeamish inside the car. I was able to stop and get out of the vehicle for about 15 minutes to regain all senses so that i could safely drive home. The car now sits in my garage with the back seat removed trying to get the smell of gas out of the vehicle. I have now read many other similar complaints from others with same model vehicle. I realize there are not tens of thousands of these vehicles on the road; i am sure that if there were more vehicles with this problem there would be several severe accidents. I try to take good care of my vehicles and this problem appears to be the fault of the manufacturer or parts supplier. This problem should not happen and it is dangerous.
