| Description of the problem | After filling up the car with gas, it smells of gas fumes from the left rear wheel well. Happens every time i attempt to fill the tank. I've been filling gas tank to only 3/4 tank to reduce the gas fumes emanating from the car after gas fillups. Maybe poor seal with fuel pump and gas tank itself. Car was looked at in a previous recall campaign, but problem persists, and based on online reports, is a very common issue. |
